Pictures on the way up to the caves
On our way to Park City we decided to visit with Robert Redford at Sun Dance. Guess he wasn’t home, but we found some thing better, Timpanogos Caves. High on the slopes of American Fork Canyon are three moderate sized limestone caves. O’ boy we said, we need to do this. We paid our money and off we went. They did not tell us that the trail up to the steep northern slope of Mt Timpanogos is physically demanding. You climb 1,092 feet in 1 ½ miles straight up. It ended up being a 3 ½ mile straight up and down hike. Signs posted along the way - Warning watch out for falling rock-red stripes mark the areas of greatest hazard on the trail. Do not stop in these places. Be alert for the sound of falling rocks. If a rock fall comes towards you- move out of the way. Pace yourself-rest- catch your breath. The best sign of all was this is rattle snake country.
The caves were beautiful and worth the trip. We were to tired gals when we finally arrived at our hotel in Park City.
