Helping hands.....and feet

April 03, 2014 Posted by: Jim Ireland

Volunteers help keep the parks running, and this place is no different. We appreciate our volunteers and invite others to come help us patrol the trail, assist in our greenhouse, answer questions at the visitor center, or any number of other tasks here at Timpanogos Cave National Monument.

 

The day the visitor center burned

Today marks the 23rd anniversary since the Timpanogos Cave Visitor Center was destroyed by fire. Since that time, plans have been made to build a small permanent contact station east of the current site, and move many of our services and exhibits to a new interagency facility in Highland. Future budgets will determine the timeline for this proposal.
