Situated at the foot of Mount Timpanogos in the Wasatch Mountain Range, American Fork is a city in Utah that is definitely worth stopping at. The area was originally the home of Ute Indians who would use the grounds for hunting and fishing. After Mormon pioneers settled in American Fork in the 1850s, residents tended more toward farming, mining, and retailing. Today, visitors will be able to see several natural and manmade attractions that will pique the interest of the entire family. You’ll definitely want to spend a day exploring the American Fork Canyon and going on a guided tour of the Timpanogos Cave National Monument.
