On Monday, we hiked with the Daudins to the caves at Mt Timpanogos. The views in American Fork canyon were wonderful. We were glad we walked up mostly in the shade, as the day was hot.
The last time we did this, 3 years ago for India's birthday, Leith refused to go into the cave after riding up the 1.5 miles and 1100 ft gain in elevation on Kevin's shoulders. And, once inside, Coral discovered that she has a phobia to being inside a cave. I had to hold her and whisper in her ear the entire to time to get her through. It was a terrible experience for her. This time, sans Coral and without any hitch-hiking small children, we were free to really enjoy the caves and the scenery and the company.

Taking a brief rest... Toto, we are not at sea level any more!

The two parts in the center of this photo should connect the last 3/4 inch between them in about 200 years.
