Timpanogos Cave, situated eight miles from American Fork and' 81 miles from the city of lrovo, is not only a national monument famous for the delieato beauty and coloring of. its coral-likstalactite and l),a,so of operations stalagmite formations, hut a strategically-locatefrom which the tourist, cun launch into a multitude of summer diversions. To dwell fur a time on the which is actually unfamiliar to thousands of Utahns, those who have not treated "themselves to the , rainbow delights which await-thascent of the cave-trai- l are missing the geological wonder of the state. According to litoraturo of the. Wasatch national forest which has supervision of the cave, Timpanogos C;tve was accidentally discovered In 1915 by the small son of a mining prospector who literally fell Into the cave. The existence of the hugu cavern, was kept a family secret for live years, lint linally the approximate location was inadvertently disclosed, and in August, 3991, the cave was. rediscovered by a hiking party. The United States Forest Service immediately initiated protective and development 'features w hich met with the generous support of local citizens. Now the cave is completely equipped with passageways, stairways, and electric lights. The formations, instead of being massive and smooth as they are in many otjier caves, form delicate branches, some of which resemblo coral. Many beautiful effects, such as the Great. Heart of Tmipanogos, t bo Jewell box, and the Chocolate Falls are enhanced by tlio electric lights. A nutidnal monument by presidential s proclamation oil October I t, 1922, the- cave is protected from of vandalism by an Act of Congress dated June 8, 190G. The formations, together with the mile of nature stuily trail leading to thff cave, over which the flora aifd geology have been identified and posted, are of particular educational interest. The auto tourist may drive to tiie cave" camp ground, located near the base of tho trail. Hero a public camp ground is provided where pure water, shade, tables, benches, stoves, and fuel are all furnished free to cave and canyon visiturs. "A store is maintained at tin camp grounds where lunches and regular meals, foodstuffs, and tourist sup. . . plies may bo obtained. Guide service is maintained year-long- , but because of snow, .there ere few visitors between November and April. Admission to the cave, Including competent guide service, is 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for children. The cave Is open from 8 a." m. to 5 p. m. A group "of public-spiritecitizens from American Fork and lleasanf Grove (via. which the cave can also bo reached) manage tho cave with the cooperation and supervision of local forestr ofileers. All receipts are devoted to maintaining and developing the cave for public benefit. The cave is almost GOO feet in length. Leaving Timpanogos cave for" Akpen. grove, the highway loop encircles Timpanogos Mountain, which is tho objective of several thousand hikers each summer in what is believed to be the largest community or mass hike of Its kind in the world, with participants coming from all portions of tho globe. The rido down the glacier ending igt the edge of Emerald Lake, should ho especially thrilling this yeart in the opinion of forest rangers, due to the unusual amount of snow packed In tho lofty heights. Aspen grove, the famous sum.tner camping ground where the tourist can stay for a day or for a month, and where the ambitious hiker can reach snow in half an hours brisk climbing? is the starting point for the annual hike. CCG workers have constructed a now outdoor stage of stone and cement In the theater of pities, nnd nn aphitheater of seats 1ms been erected. The entire theater has been wired with electric lights since the 1934 hike. Following the program, most of the hikers curl up in blankets, waiting until dawn to commence tho hike proper. Many, however, are wont to make It a midnight hike, leaving upon completion of the program. and attempting to make tho towering heights at sunrise, whence comes a rare vista of orange and golden light, effulgent nnd lrrldesrent upon tho glinting slopes of Mount Timp itself and upon the misty climbers. sunt: tits t! adjoining mountains to reward tho In connection with announcement .of this year's hike, Mr. Romney wishes to emphasize the fact that-MTimpanogos is a national monument and a game preserve. Carrying of firearms is forbidden. Under protection from hunters, a fine herd of elk has grown steadily larger each year; these with deer, hear and other wild life make the famous mountain a veritable haunt for nature and animal lovers. Getting back to Aspen Grove, It Is understood that this camping s and seats, toilets and spot is now enhanced by tables, stone running water facilities, mostly, installed byttCCC workers under forest service supervision. Tourists are especially invited to stay for a day. or month. All facilities aro free of charge. Continuing souTfi from Aspen grove, the road joins the Provo can yon highway at a point just above the Vivian park bridge and considerably below the site of the proposed Deer Crook dam. The entire drive around the loop from either American Fork or Aspen Grove requires but an hour's continuous driving and is. completely safe, being maintained by the forest service. Motorists who were not able to complete the loop due to .late- melting snow are advised by C. J. Olson, supervisor of the Wasatch and open all Hie war national forest, that the road Is now ." . around for travel.
