American Fork Canyon
American Fork Canyon is a 46,000-acre backyard escape for over 2 million people living in the Wasatch Front Metro Area. Attractions include Timpanogos Cave National Monument (NPS), Cascade Springs, Tibble Fork and Silver Lake Flat Reservoirs, and Wasatch Mountain State Park. Trailheads lead adventure seekers into Mount Timpanogos and Lone Peak Wilderness Areas.
American Fork Canyon has several recreation fee sites and can be accessed from the Alpine Loop Scenic Backway (SR-92). The spectacular canyon walls in lower American Fork Canyon are deeply incised. Higher up, the canyon forks into open basins with alpine peaks that top 11,000 feet. The road then crosses over a divide into the north fork of the Provo Canyon, with views of Mount Timpanogos and dazzling fall colors.
