Mount Timpanogos Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Utah County, United States.

Mount Timpanogos Wilderness is a protected mountain region between American Fork Canyon and Provo Canyon with high peaks, thick forests, and open alpine fields. The terrain rises sharply from canyon valleys to windswept ridges where few trees survive.

The U.S. Forest Service officially protected the region in 1984 to keep its natural and ecological character intact. This designation stopped development plans and secured the area in its mostly unaltered state.

The mountain held deep importance for Ute tribes who hunted across its slopes and higher elevations for generations. Local names and stories still carry traces of this long relationship with the land.

Two main access points, Timpooneke and Aspen Grove, lead into the wilderness from different sides. Visitors should be prepared for weather that changes quickly, especially at higher elevations where temperatures drop significantly.

On March 9, 1955, a U.S. Air Force B-25 bomber bound for March Air Force Base in Riverside, California, crashed on the east side of Mount Timpanogos after the pilot became disoriented in poor weather; three crew members and two passengers died. A one-mile trail to the crash site leaves the main Timpooneke trail at the lip of Timpanogos Basin.
