Project Description: The proposed action is to secure, protect, and

 preserve April Fool Cave by installation of a metal
gate. A small bar type gate would be installed near
the entrance of April Fool Cave where the cave
passage naturally restricts to an opening of
approximately two by four feet. The gate coupled
with a permit system will allow the BLM to control
access and also provide an opportunity to educate the
public on the need to protect cave resources. The
gate would be prefabricated by staff from Timpanogos
National Monument and installed by BLM, NPS, and
local caving organizations. All of the required
equipment and supplies would be carried to the cave
from the existing access road.
