Cave tours and trail at Timpanogos Cave National Monument will begin June 16, 2023.

The necessary repairs to the trail and safety structures have been completed and visitors will be able to start hiking to the caves this weekend.

For the last several weeks park teams have been working to clear snow, fallen trees, trail damage and to repair the “rock curtain” above the caves following a winter with heavy snow loads. The rock curtain is located on the cliff above the trail, catching and reducing rockfall onto the trail below.

“We are so excited to finally open the caves for tours! Our team has worked tirelessly to complete repairs in record time. We are ready to move forward with the summer- bringing families and visitors back into the caves,” said Park Manager Shannon Stephens.

Cave tour tickets can be purchased at www.recreation.gov . Cave tour fees are $12 (age 12 +), $7 (age 2-11), and $2 (age 1 and under). Centennial Lantern Tour are $17 for people and limited to ages 7 years old and up. Details regarding these and other tours including ticket purchases, tour schedules, and other programs are available on the park website at www.nps.gov/tica.
