Exploring and Protecting Utah's Caves Since 1974
Our Purpose
Our purpose as the Timpanogos Grotto of the National Speleological Society is to conserve and protect caves everywhere, to explore and survey, participate in scientific research, protect the ecology of the cave environment, and provide opportunities for recreation in a safe and responsible manner. We also wish to acquaint a new generation of cavers to the old traditions and history of the caves in the intermountain area, while introducing them to the wonders of the underground.
The Timpanogos Grotto is a chartered chapter of the National Speleological Society (NSS), sharing its mission to promote the exploration, conservation, scientific study, and enjoyment of caves and karst. Since our establishment in 1974, we have united passionate cavers from diverse backgrounds to engage in activities that include surveying, mapping, scientific research, conservation projects, and fostering education about cave stewardship. As part of the NSS, we are committed to upholding safe and responsible caving practices while promoting camaraderie and collaboration among cavers locally, nationally, and beyond.
