While we were in Utah visiting my family. We did a fun family hike up to Mt Timpanogos Caves. Chanel, my sister, lives walking distance from the Mt Timpanogos temple. You can see the temple from her backyard. The drive to the hiking area was only 10-15 minutes. We got up there early at 7am which was great, we hiked in the shade and it was only hot a little at the end.
There were great rocks to look at- they were "Lightening McQueen rocks". You walk through a fun small tunnel that Lightening McQueen would totally drive through. Having Myles on my back did make me walk slow and want to sit down frequency. Rhett was happy to go slow and did have some complaints about when were we going to finally make it, he was the youngest one walking.
Marc, my brother in law, was leading the way with Bentley, Olivia, Caramel, and Lyla (on his back). I didn't hear any complaints about the 1.5 mile hike up from Caramel, she was most concerned about keeping up with the cousins. Once at the caves there were great formation descriptions and a map of the caves the kids looked at. We found some awesome things called Caramel Falls.
Of course, at the start of the cave tour, Rhett had to go to the bathroom. So I hiked back down, a short distance, to the bathrooms. Seeing the toilets, he decided he didn't have to go, but I made him sit anyways and we went. Myles wasn't too happy to join the cave tours. It was clearly nap time and he cried until he fell asleep. The cave tour was cool with interesting areas and some tight squeezes. Myles stayed asleep for awhile which was great for him. The hike down went super fast. Bentley, Olivia, and Caramel did a workbook to become Junior Rangers.
Love enjoy nature and seeing the sights.
