A “Grotto” is Italian for cave. The word’s first use was in 1617. Shortly after that (1984) the “Wasatch Grotto” was founded, which is Utahn for a caving club.

Grottos in that sense are organized groups of people interested in conserving and exploring caves. We are a chapter of the National Speleological Society, a national organization with over 12,000 members that encourages the study, exploration, and conservation of cave and karst resources. The NSS and member Grottos work to protect access to caves, encourage responsible cave management, and promote responsible caving.

The Wasatch Grotto meets at 7:00 p.m. in the basement of the Bountiful Library. 754 S. Main St. Bountiful Utah, 84010.

Everyone is welcome to our meetings and to come cave with us!
