Dimple Dell Preservation Community

We had a nice turnout for the “Rocks and Water in Dimple Dell” presentation. Everyone enjoyed breaking rocks open to see what was inside. There was an exploration of the effect of different sized hammers. A few rocks we tested wouldn’t crack even for a 2.5 pound hammer.

We were able to identify sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks. It was fascinating to see the different layers. We also considered the role that water plays in bringing rocks down to the park from the Wasatch mountains and then moving them through park to the west side.

Please plan to join us on Tuesday, July 14, 2026 at 6:30 PM for the next talk on Nature in Dimple Dell.
