The Legend of Timpanogos Cave

Mount Timpanogos is one of Utah’s most popular hiking and climbing destinations in Utah? In such a beautiful part of the state, the hike up Timpanogos is marked with waterfalls, mountain goats, gorgeous conifers, and rocky slopes.

Did you know, when viewed from Heber Valley, Mount Timpanogos resembles the profile of a sleeping woman. Legend has it that an Indian maiden died of a broken heart after her lover was killed. Although there are no evidence to support the story, it is still a fun tale to tell to attract visitors to the stunning mountain range.

If you are looking for a fun thing to do with the family (although probably not with little kids) come and hike Timpanogos. While you are up there, be sure to take a tour of the captivating Timpanogos cave with its beautifully decorated rooms, rock formations, and hear the stories of cave exploration and preservation.

What is one of your favorite hiking trails?
