“We are excited to celebrate the centennial of Timpanogos Cave National Monument! Over the last 100 years, there is a tradition of many families coming to see the cave, communities that have supported the success of the park, and decades of bringing people together. We honor everyone that has worked here and hiked to the caves and we invite you back to celebrate with us all year long,” said Cami McKinney, the park's acting superintendent. 

Events at the park include: 

  • Daily lantern cave tours 
  • New exhibits in the visitor center community history 
  • 100 hike challenge for those who can hike the trail 100 times 
  • Star Parties in summer 
  • Various free Saturday programs for kids and families

Timpanogos Cave National Monument was created on October 14, 1922.  President Warren G. Harding signed the proclamation creating the park to protect the caves for their “unusual scientific interest.” 

Cave tours began in the spring of 1922, with visitors initially only visiting Timpanogos Cave. But later, in 1939, tours were expanded through the development of tunnels that would include Hansen Cave and Middle Cave. Visiting the caves has been extremely popular for both local, national, and international visitors throughout its 100-year history. 

Details about ticket purchases, tour schedules, and other programs are available on the park website.
