Our "nature explorers" hit the trail for a hike up to Timpanogos Cave! The hike was long (including the trip through the cave it is about 3 1/2 miles), but the cave was cool--in more ways than one!

| We have been learning about different types of rocks and minerals, so
it was fun to explore the different geological formations along the
trail! |

| We learned that Stalactites hold on "tight" to the ceiling, and to watch out for Stalagmites because they might trip you! |

All of our kids were troopers, but it was a LONG way to go! While we had a lot of fun in the future I would recommend this trip for children over the age of 6. We had a 1:1 ratio, but still had to be cautious as there are steep drop offs. And I wasn't crazy about the "Stay on the trail...beware of rattlesnakes" signs along the way. I don't mind snakes--but prefer not to encounter the type that bite!
