- No other place in California shows off the San Andreas Fault better than the Carrizo Plain. Join us on a tour through Carrizo Plain National Monument for a look at several of the fault's features. Read more at www.backroadswest.com/blog/car...
Nothing short of brilliant. Reminds of a road trip I took in the early-mid 80s I was driving through this area and I didn't know what I was driving through. Later when I got to "know" California better, I was a transplant from the East Coast and I told myself I was going to drive through the area again. I never did and thus your vid is a bittersweet memory of my past. Lovely work.
Thank you!
Hahaha 🤣
You put a lot of work into this. Thank you for sharing!
Well done presentation I’ve been there and is fascinating how fault lies up the middle off the plains
This brings back some fond memories on motorcycle trips around there. Thank you.
Excellent presentation of geography and geological information. I love it!
Great video and the music, spectacular. Thank you
So great how you used such nice photography and aerial views and captions. This was very well thought out, great film editing. You really know how to represent such a vast place and a unique place to give one a sense of this intriguing land! Thanks!
Excellent presentation. You really did a great job explaining everything. And the music was wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you again for the virtual tour!
My pleasure and thanks for your comments!
I LIKE the fact that Mr. "BRW1" mentioned Hudson Valley Rd., which becomes Mil Potrero Road. Now that's a road, TOO. It's a road that runs along a very high ridge--with almost a cliff dropping thousands of feet towards the San Joaquin Valley--exotic pinnacles about the cliff face--through Pinon Pine/Juniper woodlands--leading towards Mt. Pinos. Before you reach that, you're going through some grand forest, featuring STUNNING large Jeffrey Pines, with their metallic alligator-hide copper-colored trunks. From the parking lot near the 8,000 Ft. summits of Pinos/Sawmill Mountain, it's an easy stroll to Pinos' summit. On an extremely clear day, you can see right into Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Look even closer with your Eagle eyes, East-Northeast, at the mid-elevation dense forest, and you can make out the domed crowns of Giant Sequoia trees looming above the rest, in Giant Forest and Redwood Mountain. You shall NEVER forget THAT sight--plus the Pacific, in the opposite direction, 60+ Miles away! Where else . . . but in California??
enjoyed beautiful California on an RV trip and definately want to go back and do some of these backroads. That is my kind of vacation!
Thank you, This video was very good and very informative. I enjoyed the map and aerial views that you enclosed in the video presentation. Very nicely done and I learned a lot.
I've been by Soda Lake road many times on my way from Ojai to the 5 on my way northern California and back again, and I've always wondered and wanted to go take a drive down that road. Thank you for doing it and showing us all with your great video! Now I'll definitely take the time someday to drive down Soda Lake rd!!
Alright, enjoy the drive when you do! Thanks for commenting.
Wonderful work, thank you.
Wow - brilliant overview and so well presented. I should have done a bit more research and I could have done this drive and stood over/on the San Andreas fault. We went right by on Hwy 166 on June 7, 2019 ... it was obvious we were in a geologically interesting area but we managed to miss knowing we went over the fault. I recall going by the old 76 gas station at the intersection of Soda Lake & 166. Need to research the Hwy 66 reference. This was alot of work you did, and much appreciated! GREAT TOUR!! thank you!
Very cool video and graphics. All of your videos make me want to go out and explore these out of the way places! I learn something with every video.
Excellent video tour. Thank you for taking the time to create it and post it for the rest of us to enjoy.
My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for commenting.
That was awesome you nailed that Margarita
What a great video. I was researching this place to visit. Now I definitely want to go and check out all the sites from the video.
Thanks for the kind comments!
That was spectacular scenery and a lot of fun once again! Also you are brilliant with your ability to edit in so many different views, great work! I love your choice of music that is very uplifting, makes you want to dance ha! Also Carizzo Plain is an ethereal place of great beauty and like your talent with cinematography too! Any film company would like you as their cinematographer! Thanks for bringing this to the world! I hope I can go there some day! I come back to this once in a while!
Thanks for your kind comments and thank you for commenting.
Wow.! Very very interesting. Ty for showing me this. Sadly i will never get to see this in person, for the very first time. So cool. Love this.! I truly wish i could see this in person. I am so truly enjoying this wonderful tour u are showing me. So neat.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Great video, and music accompaniment ~ thanks for sharing.
You're welcome and thank you for commenting.
I agree with the vid but your taste in music is as awful as his ..
I visited this place almost two years ago at the tail end of really good flower bloom. The rains this year should bring the same or better result. Time a visit during the flowers, and please stay on the trails.
I love your channel! I happened to find the other video with San Andreas Fault, and I was so excited. My husband and I were excited with faults, and we checked out those places. But, because we are not the experts, I wish I could have known more information. Your videos are awesome! We went to the Carrizo Plain a couple years ago, and we are planning to go to the Carrizo Plain pretty soon again. With your information, we can have much more fun! Thank you very much!
Glad you enjoyed the tour. I was going to recommend another fault in Utah, the Hurricane Fault, but it sounds like you found that video too! Thanks for commenting.
Really, really nice coverage. Really nice.
I have driven out to Hudson Ranch Road from Maricopa and up to I5. It was remarkable. I found out years later it was along the fault line. Driving up to Frazier Park from Grapevine places you straight in front of the fault line. There is a slope cut by a very large embankment.
Yup, you are there.
And, then there is Leona Valley. YIKES!!!!!
Glad to find your channel! Great video and next time when I'm back at Ca, will visit some of the locations.. Greetings from South Korea.
Thanks, and God be merciful onto us Earth
Lings. Later.
Thank you for sharing this. I learned so much.
Excellent, glad to hear it. Thanks for commenting!
Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of an amazing geographical feature.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting!
Excellent presentation
Thank you!
That was enjoyable and very well done. 👍 Thank You!!
My pleasure!
Fantastic, thank you!
No, thank you!
You r the best one to do this video & hope u can go on
I watched a bunch of your videos now, and I really like how you pay attention to the Geology. I haven't been to the Carrizo Plain yet, but it's on the list.
Thank you! Carrizo Plain is a special place. Make sure to also take the road east, crossing SR 166, and continue all the way to I-5.
Wow! you put A LOT of work into this video. Thank you!
The videos are fun to create. Thanks for commenting!
I love the way you show it this video.
Thanks!
Excellent travel video!
Thank you!
I'm a 24 year old electrical engineering student and geography fascinates me. This is like a wet dream to me! Thank you!
Nicely done!
Thanks!
Great music!
I’m binging on these videos
Excellent!
That was a fantastic video. Thank you! (When next I fly from Burbank to San Jose, I'll have a better appreciation of the geography I'm soaring over.)
Thank you!
You're welcome and thanks for the comment. A few months before I created the video, I too was flying between SFO & LAX. I had my camera packed away, my phone off, and the plane made a 90 degree turn over Carrizo Plain giving a full view of this entire route. I kicked myself for not having a camera always ready, "just in case". Google Earth is nice, but it just doesn't beat seeing the real thing and at the right perspective.
Thank You ! That was an amazing video !
Glad you liked it! Thanks for commenting.
We were there last week 🎊
Well done, thanks much 👍
You're welcome. Thanks for commenting!
good job...BRAVO....
Is parts of Bitterwater Road that is off of Highway 58 on the San Andreas fault line? The road in some spots keeps cracking
Yes, Bitterwater Rd north of 58 follows the fault line - all the way to Hwy 46. Look closely on it on Google Earth or satellite view. Any road cracks after a period of time in that area because of the ground movement.
What band made the guitar music? (8:00)
Great video. what version of Google earth are you using? Do you have to pay for that version?
Thank you. It updates automatically, so the latest. I do not pay for it.
Nice video...my next trip
How do you view the Dragons Back? Elkhorn Scarp?
Best way is from the air.
Awesome
Thanks
Very cool and informative video. The only thing that rocks harder than the San Andreas fault is the music featured in this video!
Thanks for commenting! Glad you liked the music selection.
Man thank you so much for dedicating the time on putting this together, the video definitely deserves few millions views.
Now! If you post a vid about stupid stuff then you might get those millions , SMH!
Keep them coming, You are doing an awesome job!
Thanks. You have my promise: I won't post any stupid stuff! And I'll keep the videos coming; it's a labor of love...
I work just south of Carrizo atBitter Creek National Wildlige Refuge. Would love to talk and get more information about how the fault runs through our refuge so I can share! Great videos! Please let's chat, maybeyou can come for a tour??
Howdy! Thanks for reaching out. Yes, I've driven thru Bitter Creek NWR many times on Hudson Ranch Rd. These days however, I live near St. George Utah and don't travel that route much anymore. We've actually taken several series of pictures to create a video fault tour between Hwy 166 and I-5, so it would be great to get more info on Bitter Creek to include in the video. What's the best way to reach you? For me, you can email me using our website at www.backroadswest.com/brw/contact-us/
This looks like a line of mountains forming. History making.
If a highway crosses the fault and different sides of the fault move about 1.5 inches each year it means the road is cracked each year?
LOL - little do people know, but cracked roads from fault movement are all over California. And yes, when the fault moves on a major freeway, like I-5 or I-15, the southbound lanes will empty onto the northbound lanes!
great upload, very interesting, im intrigued, its fascinating to see, i live in liverpool england, probably 1 of the most geologically stable countries on earth
Thank you. Yes, old geology is very stable!
I'm curious, if the fault slips about 1.5" a year, why isn't the roadbed shifted where it crosses the fault? I mean, that road has probably been there at least 30 years, so I expected to see if offset by as much as 45", but don't see any offset at all at 8:59.
Good point. I think the same thing with I-15 crossing the Cajon Pass. But closer to Carrizo Plane, there are roads that you can find that have been "sliced up" over time. But the road crews typically fix it (patch it up) pretty quickly.
It's amazing that Wallace Creek was running straight around the time the pyramids were being built in Egypt. It has been shifted 300 feet since then.
Yes, it is amazing and you can stand right in front of it here!
Great job!!! Google Earth makes for an interesting presentation!!! CA is remarkable, millions of people, yet, there are places like this where you won't see a soul...
Great vids. Im a musician interested in the track starting @ ~6:33 . I know the rhythm track is Angdynpol by Vito Nijo . can anybody tell my who laid down the lead guitar and or keyboards to this track? its exceptional musicianship and would like to make contact with the artist. thank you.
All music was acquired from Audio Blocks. I'm not sure which one is which, but here is the track listing:
Full of smiles 2:00
Saucers over Texas 3:11
Missed You Gtr 3:18
its-a-beautiful-day 3:58
Easier Said Than Done 3:16
Living Lights 2:17
@@BackRoadsWest1 I'll dig deeper , thanks for the reply. I'm studying geology for kicks and appreciate your work. I intend to check out some of these places. your videos are very helpful in that regard. I lived in the pacific northwest for 40 years and really enjoyed the short Oregon tour . No place like home. I now live in socal and am still learning the area. many many thanks!
Hello: I know the Carrizo better than some, and I think your video is very well thought thru and laid out. For your next video, might I suggest one thing more in your scripting; GPS coordinates in decimal degrees for each spot such as where the fault line crosses Route 58, etc. Most folks who use GPS to find areas have their gear set to decimal degrees because it's the easiest set up for typing coordinates. Just my two cents.
Thanks for the comments. On more of our future trips, we are providing GPX files with the lat/longs and promoting the use of Gaia GPS software. It just takes more time to compile all that info.
What is this music? 5:49
All our music comes from Storyblocks.com
I have seen most of these movies if you love history these vedeos are for you
Scary. Wont catch me going there!
Coincidentally. I'm watching this,posted actually a year ago.💁😁
You missed the remains of a huge old long tom mining operation on the west side of the road in a gully. If you had a half-way decent microscope, you could have taken a sample of the water at the north end of Soda Lake and seen a lot of microbes and beautiful tiny sulphate crystals in the water.
Can't include everything, but thanks for posting!
Video started good then audio became music. Why? What caused the change from narrator and WHY?!
Good Tutt That music absolutely rocked I turned it up full volume and cracked open a beer!!
NORTH/WEST of los angeles....?
Yes, this place is ~100 miles northwest of L.A.
Dramatically different view today. Just covered in flowers.
I wish I can get out there and enjoy it!
9:16 at this exact spot yesterday, i got into the fault on the right side of the road, i think facing West? and i got into the fault, climbed up on top of that island in the center, and took a wiz lol. who else can say they took a Pee in the San andreas fault? i'm sure not that many people haha.
Thank you for the toad trip!
Loved your video that followed the Fault from the Cajon Pass. The decision to eliminate the narration and replace it with Muzak 2.0 proves an unfortunate one for this video. I can't even finish it.
For any subsequent videos, please go back to the original format.
First, realize you're looking at something provided to you for free. Second, it is expensive to do expanded narration because of the extra time and research involved. Third, on this tour, there isn't much more to say. If you don't like the music, turn the volume down, because it's pretty much all about the visuals and the few captions to read. If you'd like to gather more information, provide me a well-written script, then pay me, I'd be happy to expand the video for you.
at 10:09 why so many roads ...
Yea, I don't know the reason. During the 1960s and 70s, there were a lot of real estate boondoggles where big parcels were divided into lots and sold. Lots were probably separated by those roads. I'm only guessing though. This did happen a lot in the desert near Palmdale & Lancaster north of L.A.
THE AMERICAN PLATE DOESN'T MOVE. IT'S THE PACIFIC PLATE THAT IS DOING MOST OF THE MOVING.
The North American plate is moving towards the West. That is the reason the Pacific Rise spreading ridge is now in the Sea of Cortez, subduction volcanoes no longer erupt in S. California and the San Andreas is trending N. NW. It's also the reason the Yellowstone hotspot is moving eastward. The hotspot is stationary. The North American plate is moving westward across it.
I heard… in another video they creep past each other in opposite directions…which is true…
Drop a 20KT Device right there. That should Crack Kalifornia like an egg.
It will probably just leave a big crater. Remember, it was tried once in a James Bond movie....
very nice video. horrible music. i've been through here several times wonderful wildflowers after a rainy winter.
THIS GIANT FAULT SYSTEM MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY AN IMMENSE TERAWATT LEVEL BEAM WEAPON OF SOME KIND. THEY MAY HAVE CUT THE CRUST OPEN TO CREATE AND ENSURE INSTABILITY, OR TO SEARCH FOR MINERALS WHEN THE MAGMA CAME OUT OF THE FISSURES. THE TRUE AGE IS PROBABLY 1000 YEARS OR LESS. MAY ALSO HAVE BEEN A BORDER DEMARCATION OF SOME KIND, EASILY SEEN FROM SPACE. WHAT ABOUT THE NAZCA LINES DOWN SOUTH? THAT WAS PROBABLY A MEGAWATT LASER SINCE IT ONLY SCORCHED THE GROUND. A SPACE GRAFFITI SIGNATURE VIEWABLE FROM SPACE. IT'S LITERALLY "ANNUNAKI KILLJOY WAS HERE." WAS KILROY A COPYCAT?
Fascinating
Nice info, but the music score is obnoxious...
I had to walk away...
The music is great. If you don't like it, there's this thing on your device called volume control. Reduce it and then make your own music, or don't watch and it and miss out on all the great information.
Put San Andreas fault with cascadia fault let's see the results of entire west coast shaking
The two ARE joined together at the triple junction near Mendocino California. There is evidence they sometimes move together.
Can’t people realize that if the earth was billions of years old, this fault would have moved miles? This is proof that the earth is only a few thousand years old! How could any geologist look at this fault and still believe the earth is billions of years old?
Since you live in Pasadena, you ought to visit Cal Tech and ask them the same questions to learn what their answers are. I base information for our videos from the most generally accepted theory. Yes, generally accepted theory says the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old, but the fault has been in existence for roughly 20 million years. A big difference.
These can be great videos but you don't need 3:25 minutes of preview. That's 16% of the entire video.
That's your opinion...
@@BackRoadsWest1 Of course it is my opinion. But do you agree that using 16% of the video for PREVIEW is just way too much? This video is about as long as a sitcom. Try finding a sitcom, or any show/video where the PREVIEW is 16% of the video.
You have to agree, right?
@@speedspeed121 thanks for your feedback. No, I don't agree. But really, the intro is only 3.5 minutes long that provides an intro of the entire trip. What's wrong with that regardless of the total video length? It tells people what they will be seeing. If they're interested, they continue. If not, they continue surfing elsewhere. The video is made for the RUclips audience and it follows a proven format that we use on other videos to provide information on a trip that someone may take.
Great video, except for the spectacularly annoying music. Carizzo Plain is a gorgeous, peaceful place, totally unlike the music accompanying this video.
Realize I can't make everyone happy with music. You do know there is a volume button on most video players/computers ;-)
BackRoadsWest1
Yes, I do understand that. I did mute it so I could enjoy the video. And I did enjoy it very much. I spend quite a bit of time there, and it was great to see it like this.
@@richardneidhardt6536 Good to hear it! Yes, it's a nice remote area. When I get out there again, it would be fun to do a video to cover the fault from SR 58 to 46 or all the way to Parkfield.
BackRoadsWest1
Remote, but reasonably close to home for me. Following the fault from 58 to 46 - and on to Parkfield would make a great video. It’s beautiful country, especially in the spring, as I’m sure you know.
I came to see video, not listen to a rock concert....
Then turn the volume down on your device!! Do you really think it is possible to create a video that supplements everyone's musical preferences? If you really think this is "rock concert" music, perhaps you should attend a real rock concert and notice the difference....
The narrator is nausilatingly condescending.
Hmmm, how funny, I get so many great comments on this video and other videos, and then there is your comment. Maybe your feelings are trying to tell you that you need to deal with something and my voice triggered it. If I were you, I'd do some soul searching!
This is nothing more than a stupid slideshow with moving arrows and panning, on a video site set to inappropriate music for the subject.
Wow, aren't you an over abundance of happiness. Why do such negative people like you even exist in the World?
I hope this runs right through the backyard of Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters. Maybe then the people of California will have competent leaders to get drinking water to the people.
Well, those people would all be on the "ocean" side of the fault...
