The geological structure of the park's territory is characterized by the presence of granite and remains of even more ancient stone rocks. About 10 million years ago the mountains of the Sierra Nevada rose and then bent so that the western slope became more gently sloping and the eastern slope towards the mainland was more steep. The rise has increased the steepness of the waterways and riverbeds resulting in the formation of deep and narrow canyons. About a million years ago the snow and ice accumulated on the tops formed glaciers in the regions of the present subalpine and alpine belts thus lowering the valleys of the rivers down the slope. In the first ice age the ice thickness in the glaciers was up to 1200 m.
