Utah Trip 2015-Timpanogas Cave

 Timpanogas Cave was another one of the things that I wished that we had done in Utah, so it was pretty high up on my to do list.  We went with Uncle Mark and Uncle Nathan and some fun cousins.  The photo ops along the way kept us going and at least looking like we were enjoying this ridiculously steep hike (it really was pretty good, but I was dying)!
 Perky and peppy before we'd really gotten to the steep part of the hike...
 Oh how we miss the mountains.  They are so beautiful and we enjoyed every second of being in them on this trip.
 Seriously, these uncles are way fun.  The kids worship them.
  A little Lion King re-enactment...


 By the time we had gotten 3/4 of the way up the mountain, we were seriously dying.  Hence the sign worshiping going on.  We were almost there...

 We reached the top!  It was so much harder than I remembered.  
 The cave was also way cooler than I remembered (and I remembered it being pretty cool).
 The kids really liked it.  It was amazing how hot it was on the hike and how freezing it was in the cave.
 This stalactite is huge and weighs some huge number of pounds.  Totally beautiful.



I told the kids at the beginning that it was a hard hike and it would be totally worth it.  I think everyone agreed at the end that it was definitely worth it!
