This morning I hiked up to the opening of Timpanogos cave with Gina, Jess, Vickie and Larry. First time for me, and man did it kick my butt. I'll do it again, probably several more times.

I did take a few though, below.[gallery link="file" orderby="ID"]Here is a link about the cave, the hike, and the area. http://bit.ly/bpuq...
