Show CAVE BETTERS '37 RECORD BY 2000 INCREASE Two thousand more persons visited Timpanogos Cave and saw its beauties beau-ties in the 1938 travel season than in the 1937 season, Thomas Walker, national parks ranger at the cave, revealed this week. The 1933 travel season officially closed at the end of September, and the 1939 season has now begun. The cave will remain open until winter weather sets in, offering tourists and sightseers a fine opportunity during the coming days of Indian summer. Compared to a total of 10,957 for 1937, 12,909 visitors made the trip to the cave in the 1938 season. During the month of September, a 4 per cent decline was noted, this being attributed to the road construction now going on farther up American Fork canyon. Sixteen hundred persons per-sons were checked through the entrance en-trance gates in September. |
