According to the state geologist, 10,000,000 years ago the SW slope of Disappointment Butte failed in a catastrophic landslide which gave the Butte its distinctive flat slope, and which makes it possible to dig a hole 20 feet deep at the base of the slope without hitting bedrock. The slide buried a conifer forest which included a deciduous redwood species (the Dawn Redwood) which was thought to be extinct until about 40 years ago when a remnant population was discovered growing in China.
