The photo is a little small but the sign up on the rocks reads: "Welcome to the
Timpanogos Caves. Elevation 6730." The starting elevation for the hike to the caves was 5650 feet. That's an elevation change of 1080 feet in 1.04 miles. Yet my brother and nephew from southern California (elevation 1100' at their house) still lived through the hike and cave tour.
This summer hiking has definately been a great cross training exercise. This is our family's 4th hike in 5 weeks and I'm still discovering "new" muscles - or rather muscles that aren't used for running but get discovered due to soreness after various other exercises.
