Winter's lasting grip on the high country in Utah has prompted a delay until late June of the trail and tours at Timpanogos Cave National Monument.

Park crews have been working to clear snow accumulated over the winter and have uncovered extensive damage to the trail and the “rock curtain," a park release said. The rock curtain is located on the cliff above the trail, catching and reducing rockfall onto the trail below. Crews are working to repair the gates and fencing on the curtain along with damaged sections of trail.

“The heavy winter snows caused delays in the park’s ability to evaluate damage to the trail surface and safety features,” said Park Manager Shannon Stephens. “Crews are working hard to get the trail open and make the necessary repairs before opening the trail for hiking and tours. Our primary concern is for the safety of park visitors and staff.”

Ranger programs are scheduled for the season at the visitor center. The visitor center is currently open 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Swinging Bridge and River View Picnic Areas are open for daytime use.
