Caving

On Thursday, Jamie and I planned to go to Timpanogas Cave in the morning and then go to Park City in the afternoon.  Well, the cave tours were already almost sold out when we got there in the morning.  We got the last two tickets for the day at 3:15pm.  So we headed to Park City first and had lunch before going back to the Park.  

It was pretty hot Thursday afternoon and the hike up to the cave entrance from the visitor's center was 1.5 miles and it was pretty steep.  We took our time, but did enjoy the view.

When we got to the cave entrance we had no idea what to really expect.  They let us in the little entrance area and we were glad we lugged our coats all the way up the hill.  We had to put our coats on because it was only 45 degrees in the caves.

Michael and I visited the Fulford Caves in Edwards before, but it was nothing like these caves.  The rock formations inside were amazing!  And it wasn't just one big room, it was three separate caves that they connected through tunnels.

We spent an hour inside the caves.  We actually started getting cold inside even though it was 95 degrees outside.

The cave formations were amazing, but we didn't touch!  That was one of their main rules.

Stalactite and Stalagmite 

In the picture above, they had been measuring the distance between the stalactite and stalagmite and it was still going to be a thousand or so more years before they will connect.

We had a great time.  After the tour was over, you have to make the same 1.5 mile trek down.  So after walking that much, we were both pretty tired Thursday night.   We picked up some gelato and a movie and just relaxed the rest of the night.  Then Friday morning and I had to take her to the airport. *Sniff*  So glad she could come and sad to see her go.  Love you sis!
