Timpanogos Glacier, Rock glacier in Utah County, United States.
The Timpanogos Glacier sits in a north-facing cirque on Mount Timpanogos, consisting of glacial ice mixed with rocky debris at 11,749 feet elevation.
Prior to the 1930s Dust Bowl drought, the glacier displayed visible crevasses, after which it transformed into its current state as a rock glacier.
Local mountaineers and geologists regularly document and photograph the glacier's changes, contributing to scientific understanding of this geological formation.
Visitors need advanced climbing skills and proper equipment to navigate the three distinct flow lobes that make up the current structure of the glacier.
In 1994, a separation in the rocks revealed a crevasse with ice approximately 40 feet thick, confirming the presence of substantial glacial material beneath the surface.
