The American Fork—Alpine Loop area offers you two wilderness areas: Lone Peak and Mount Timpanogos. From the American Fork entrance, the Lone Peak Wilderness is to the north, or left of the road. Lone Peak was established in 1978 as the first wilderness area in Utah. It contains over 31,000 acres of very rugged terrain, narrow canyons, and high peaks.
Your first look at the 10,500 acre Mount Timpanogos Wilderness Area is looking south from the Pine Hollow Trailhead. The Mount Timpanogos Wilderness also offers abundant rugged terrain embellished with waterfalls and summer wildflowers. |

Mount Timpanogos has, for most of the last two centuries, been the most popular mountain climbing destination in Utah. The majestic mountain, second highest in the Wasatch Mountains, has spectacular scenery, an alpine lake just below the summit, a small glacier, waterfalls along the trail, high alpine meadows, and wildflowers. It even has a herd of about 200 mountain goats. |
