We decided last minute to do the hike to and tour of the Timpanogos Cave. Justin had done it many years ago with his family, but this was my first time. The trail is 1 1/2 miles to the top where the cave tour begins. The tour of the cave is 1 hour. We drove up the canyon and had lunch, then got ready for our hike. We had both the kids in backpack carriers. Here are Emme and Charlie all ready to go!
The hike was hard and hot. I really had to push myself to keep going. Justin was very patient and good at keeping me moving :)
The views were amazing!
We finally made it to the top just in time for our tour. It felt so nice to get inside the cave, which stays at 45 degrees, after hiking in the hot sun. Here are Justin and Emme making their way through the cave.

The great heart of the Timpanogos Cave
Our guide and the tour were great! It was fun to learn about how the caves were discovered, and how some of the formations are made.
Getting ready for the hike down.
This was the view Justin and I had as we hiked down the trail :)
Emme and Charlie were so exhausted by the time we started hiking down. The hike and the tour were during their nap time. They were troopers!
