The boulders at Troon Mountain in Scottsdale, Arizona, were formed through a geological process called granite exfoliation and weathering over millions of years. Here's how it happened: 1. Granite Formation (1.4 Billion Years Ago) Troon Mountain and the surrounding area, including The Boulders Resort, are made up of Precambrian granite that formed deep underground about 1.4 billion years ago. This granite formed from magma that slowly cooled beneath the Earth's surface, creating large crystalline rock masses. 2. Uplift and Erosion Over millions of years, erosion and tectonic forces slowly wore away the softer rock layers above the granite, exposing it at the surface. As the granite was unburied, it expanded due to the release of pressure, leading to a process called exfoliation. 3. Exfoliation and Weathering Exfoliation happens when the granite cracks and peels away in layers due to pressure changes and temperature fluctuations. Over time, water, wind, and ice infiltrated these cracks, breaking the rock into large rounded boulders. The desert climate, with extreme heat during the day and cool temperatures at night, caused repeated expansion and contraction of the rock, further shaping the boulders. 4. Balancing and Stacking of Boulders Some of the boulders appear to be precariously balanced or stacked on top of each other. This is due to differential erosion, where softer portions of rock wear away faster than others. Gravity, wind, and minor seismic activity may have also contributed to the shifting and positioning of these massive stones. The result is the stunning landscape of Troon Mountain and The Boulders area, with its massive, rounded rock formations that give the region its distinctive character. To the east vistas, look for the four peaks that will be covered in snow several times during the winter. One Popular Legend: The Hidden Gold of Four Peaks One of the most well-known legends tied to Four Peaks is that of a lost gold mine hidden somewhere in the rugged terrain. According to the story, Spanish explorers or Mexican miners discovered a rich vein of gold in the 18th or 19th century but either perished or abandoned it before revealing its location. Some variations suggest the gold came from the legendary Lost Dutchman's Mine, a famous tale from the Superstition Mountains. Others claim Jesuit priests or Native Americans knew of the gold but kept it a secret to protect their land. Treasure hunters have long searched Four Peaks, but no substantial gold has ever been officially found. Native American Legends The Four Peaks region is also significant to the Apache and Yavapai tribes. Some legends say the peaks represent four sacred spirits watching over the land. Others believe the mountains were formed by a powerful deity as a barrier against invaders. Modern Lore Beyond legends, Four Peaks is famous for its rugged beauty, rich wildlife, and even a historic amethyst mine that still produces high-quality gems. While the gold remains a myth, the area's history and mystery continue to attract adventurers and storytellers.
