Tough job climbung up to the cave entrance, but worth it.
On our way from SLC we came by American Fork Canyon. Over there you can find the Timpanogos Cave, which in fact leads you through a fault line which is pretty cool. The climb up to the cave entrance is a steep one of about 1,5mi. It was a very hot day, even the rangers were having a hard time. Fortunately the whole path is paved. Normally you can do the oneway in about an hour, they give you about 1,5 hours before your tour starts. I got there in about 45 minutes with some reststops.
Our tour consisted of only 8 people so we had plenty of time to ask questions and look around inside the cave. When you're claustrofobic skip this one, some parts of the cave are extremely narrow. The tour takes about an hour, and takes you among the heart of the cave, a heart shaped rock, which was pretty cool. Be sure to take a sweater, inside temperatures are about 45F, which is like a fridge.
