UTAH COUNTY - The Cave Trail at Timpanogos Cave National Monument will remain closed at least until Wednesday.
Officials temporarily closed the cave and trail on Friday so investigators could work to discover the cause of the fatal fall that killed park service employee Rex Walker.
On May 20, Walker and a team were working near the exit of the cave, removing potentially dangerous rocks that could fall onto the trail. Walker was moving around on a motorized scooter when he went over the edge of the trail. Officials estimate he may have fallen 1,000 feet.
Funeral services for Walker will be on Tuesday at 2 p.m. in Pleasant Grove.
