  5. Geologic history • The earliest rock found in the timpanogos is a deposition of sand and mud. The deposition was interrupted by a long period of glaciation during which massive tongues of ice spread out into the area and left bodies of poorly sorted glacial till, after the glacation there was a tectonic uplift and that caused extreme erosion which is left looking the way it is now.
