Timpanogos Cave National Monument is a United States National Monument protecting the Timpanogos Cave Historic District and a cave system in the cliffs of American Fork Canyon in the Wasatch Range, near Highland, Utah, in the United States. The site is managed by the National Park Service. The 1.5-mile-long (2.4 km) trail to the cave entrance gains 1,092 feet (333 m) in elevation, but it is paved and fairly wide, making it accessible for most people. The three caves of the system, one of which is specifically called Timpanogos Cave, are only viewable on guided tours when the monument is open, usually from May through September depending on snow conditions and funding. There is the standard tour going through the cave system, and an Introduction to Caving tour that teaches Leave No Trace caving and goes further into Hansen Cave.
