Deep in Utah's Wasatch Mountain Range is the Great Heart of the Timpanogos. First, you must take a mile and a half hike completely uphill. Quite a hike! It took us about an hour. At the top, there are three beautiful caverns decorated with helictites and anthodites.
Water gradually and slowly seeps through the air filled caves creating over time many wonderful formations. There are a total of 30 pools of water and underground lakes. Also, there is a Canal that looked like an underground riverbed.
The Park Rangers asked that we carry our Backpacks in front so that we would bump into the walls. There were so many passageways! Some were so low and small that you almost had to do some Cave crawling! There are a few cave dwellers which can be easily over looked. Cave spiders, centipedes, and crickets live here.
Here are the Soda Straw Stalactites which seem to defy gravity.
