American Fork Canyon, Natural canyon in Utah County, United States.
American Fork Canyon extends through the Uinta National Forest with limestone cliffs, dense forests, and numerous hiking paths across varying elevations.
Native American tribes utilized the canyon's resources for centuries before settlers established mining operations and transportation routes in the late 1800s.
The canyon maintains a strong connection to outdoor recreation traditions, with established communities of climbers, hikers, and nature enthusiasts gathering throughout seasons.
Visitors need to purchase a recreation pass at entrance stations, and the main access road remains open from May through October with seasonal closures.
The canyon's geological formations contain multiple caves with mineral deposits, including formations of helictites that grow against gravitational forces.
