Description

Added by Kim Baker

This campground has incredible views of Mount Timpanogos and is right by the trailhead.

The Timpooneke Campground sits at 7,400 ft. elevation with views of Mount Timpanogos and campsites surrounded by beautiful aspen, fir and spruce trees. The leaves in the fall put on a show you will not want to miss.

Within the campground there are 9 equestrian sites, 1 large group site and 20 standard campsites. You can reserve your campsite in advance or pay with cash when you get there (reservations are recommended, especially in the summer). It's $21 per night for a single campsite equipped with a picnic table, utility table and a campfire ring. Vault toilets are also available throughout the campground.

Just a short walk down the road from campsite #18 where we stayed is one of the most popularly photographed locations of Mount Timpanogos. Perfect for sunset or sunrise.

Take Highway 92 up American Fork Canyon. Follow the south fork east along the Alpine Loop Scenic Byway. You'll pass the Mount Timpanogos trailhead parking lot leading you up the road to the campground nearby.

One of my favorite campgrounds in all of Utah. There’s a nice river running through and easy access to a lot of trails.

Hike to Scout Falls

Starting at a little over 7,300 feet, the Timpooneke Trailhead offers a beautiful alpine setting for starting your hike. Several trails originate from the same parking lot so you will want to make sure you get on the correct trail. The parking lot can also get quite full on summer days as people embark to different destinations. This hike is best enjoyed early in the day before the sun is too h...

Timpanogos Basin via Timpooneke Trail

The wildflowers are normally at their peak from mid to end of July or the beginning of August. Depending on the amount of snow that year and how wet of a spring we had it could vary a little bit. But anytime during the mid summer you will encounter amazing Indian Paintbrush, Lupine, and other colorful wildflowers. After entering the mouth of American Fork Canyon you will pass a fee station (...

Mount Timpanogos via Timpanogos Trail #053

The Timpooneke trailhead is located in American Fork Canyon, next to the Timpooneke Campground. There is a $6 fee to enter the canyon, unless you have a National Park Pass with which you get in free. On the weekends, it may be difficult to find parking at the Timpooneke Campground, so arrive early. Once on the trail, it’s pretty straight forward. There is a waterfall called Scout Falls 1.4 mil...

Hike the Pine Hollow Trail

The trailhead (Forest Trail 047 - Pine Hollow Trail) starts across the street from a turnout about .5 miles above Mutual Dell in American Fork Canyon. This highly trafficked trail is used for just about every activity you can think of, meaning that you can even snowshoe this in the winter. It's a gorgeous trail, and it's very family friendly. My favorite thing to do is to backpack it and camp i...

Hike Mount Timpanogos via Aspen Grove

The Aspen Grove trail is shorter but a bit steeper than the Timpanooke Trail. This usually means that fewer people take this route, and on an extremely popular mountain like Timpanogos, that’s a good thing. The trail is 14 miles round trip with an elevation gain of 5,140 feet. The hike begins at the Aspen Grove parking lot and shares a trailhead with Stewart Falls. Take the trail heading west ...
