Professor Buss Cave At a Glance

Location:

Utah County, Utah

Time:

2-4 hours

Length:

1,000 ft

Depth:

100 ft

Description:

This cave is named after Fred Buss, a geology professor who taught at BYU from 1907 to 1927. He regularly took his students up to the cave as part of their class work. When Nutty Putty was discovered, students lost interest in Professor Buss Cave and started going to the more accessible Nutty Putty Cave. This cave has signatures as far back as 1886. Because of the historical value of the cave, the Timpanogos Grotto is attempting to gate the cave. Access should be fairly easy to acquire once the gate is put in place.
