Wayne is a great guy; to hike with him is a great pleasure. I had the opportunity to be part of North-South rim hike group of GCFI with him in 2002 and he gave us plenty of information on the canyon and geology aspects.
Agreed, I was able to attend a two day Grand Canyon seminar lead by Wayne five or six years ago. It was awesome, the guy is a great geology interpreter.
the aftermath of mt. st that it does not take a long time to lay down layers and carve out a large canyon and that a large catastrophic flood can do it. lots of similar looks there.
Wrong wrong wrong... The Colorado River did not carve the Grand Canyon... It's roughly 5000 years old, and it was carved out in a matter of weeks from Grand Lake.
The dirt and the rocks are old, among the oldest on the planet. The canyons, the depth, and the sprawl, not so much. Maybe less than 3,000 years, for most of it. Maybe as little as 800 years, for for the Colorado River (before it was controlled by dams) to cut the final 1,500 feet.
Try about 5 THOUSAND years......after the great flood. Catastrophic gouging out due to a tipping point of leftover lakes. And I am a geologist who believed what you are saying for 50 years, but had too many unanswered questions, now being solved to my satisfaction with the Great Flood Theory. Sorry mate! There is NO WAY the Colorado River could have ever carved this....this river is POST catastrophic canyon creation.
What qualification do you have to make such a suggestion? Have you ever attended a geology lesson? And I mean a real one at University, not the clown shows where paid liars are fantasizing about an invisible man in the sky with a rage problem who sends a lot of water from... whereever it magically came from and which somehow magically creates the Grand Canyon. I am constantly amazed by the audacity of loudmouths like you who, despite being clueless and ignorant af, think they can lecture people who studied this stuff their whole life.

This is a very helpful presentation. Thanks for the information and insights.
Great lecture. I’m surprised there was no mention of uplift.
Great presentation on the geomorphic history of the Grand Canyon!
Superlative Presentation and content !!! I must purchase these books. Thank you !
Great show full in interesting information
Enjoyed this lecture! 👍

Interesting lecture, thank you. I have your book, Carving Grand Canyon, and highly recommend it. :)

How did it form? Multiple floods is my first guess.
I came here to see the new carving of this...
That’s actually my stepgrandpa

Looks like it's been mined for *Ma
