Cedar Hills: American Fork Canyon

2 40.45°, -111.66° SW
About location

American Fork Canyon lies along the American Fork River in Utah’s Wasatch Mountains, where forested slopes and limestone formations rise above a narrow canyon corridor. State Route 92 follows the canyon as part of the Alpine Loop Scenic Byway, a mountain road linking the American Fork area with Provo Canyon. The canyon is also home to Timpanogos Cave National Monument, whose three connected caves preserve formations shaped by groundwater over long periods. Trailheads, picnic grounds and campgrounds make this a heavily used recreation area, while Cedar Hills and other communities of northern Utah County sit at the western foothills. Its road, river and steep terrain give the area a distinctly mountainous character close to the Wasatch Front.

Cedar Hills
City Cedar Hills

Cedar Hills has served as a residential community in northern Utah County since its incorporation in 1977. Set on the lower western slopes of the Wasatch Range, the city occupies ground between the foothills of Mount Timpanogos and Utah Valley, with Utah Lake farther southwest. Its development reflects the late-20th-century growth of communities along the Wasatch Front, while American Fork Canyon is close by, leading into higher mountain terrain. Timpanogos Cave National Monument, established in 1922 within that canyon, preserves a system of decorated limestone caves. Cedar Hills also has a municipal golf course integrated into its foothill setting. Use nearby webcams to discover other corners of Cedar Hills and northern Utah County.

Region Utah

Utah has functioned as a frontier region within the United States since the mid-19th century. Its terrain spans the Great Basin, the Wasatch Range and the Colorado Plateau, where red-rock canyons and high desert occupy much of the south and east. The Great Salt Lake is the state’s defining inland water body, while the Colorado River has carved some of its most dramatic canyon country. Salt Lake City grew from the 1847 settlement of Mormon pioneers, and Utah entered the Union in 1896. Five national parks, including Zion, Arches and Bryce Canyon, reflect the extraordinary variety of its protected landscapes. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Utah.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
