"Pleasant Grove is your gateway to all of the wealth Utah Valley has to put forward." By James Lawrence, Travel Writer

Here you will find your perfect quiet mountain getaway or a fun-filled family vacation; Pleasant Grove has lots in store. Some of the area's most popular attractions include Mount Timpanogos, American Fork Canyon, and Evermore Park. Timpanogos Cave National Monument is a US National Monument located in the Wasatch Range, east of the city of Highland. The Monument protects the Timpanogos Cave Historic District and the cave system.It is a system of three caves connected by manmade tunnels made in the 30s. The most well-known geological feature of the caves is their speleothems that started to form around 750,000 years ago. The most interesting are the helictites consisting of deposits of calcite or aragonite. These are twisted, spiraling tubes that decorate the exterior of the caves, among other geological wonders.The caves are open to the public for guided tours from May through September. There are also plenty of hiking and biking trails and opportunities for fishing, camping, and skiing.

Located in Utah Valley, Pleasant Grove is one of the oldest communities in the state.  The first settlers in the area arrived in 1850 and established a small community with some families. The city was initially named Battle Creek to commemorate the massacre of 1849 between Mormon Settlers and local Ute Native Americans in which lots of male Utes were killed. The settlers believed that the Native People of the land stole some of their horses, but later it turned out to be a false claim. In the 1850s, the citizens built a six-foot-tall fort with walls several feet thick to protect themselves during the Walker Indian War. The fort no longer stands today. However, it remains one of the local historical attractions as memorial cornerstones were re-erected by modern historians. The new name came about when the settlers decided they needed a more uplifting name and started calling their home city Pleasant Grove after a lush grove of cottonwood trees nearby. You can find the monument dedicated to these events in Kiwanis Park near Battle Creek Canyon. More from this guide...
