While Exploring a Waterfall, I Noticed something Unusual

- Following a 50 mile long spine of rock into a remote forest led me to discovering one of the most interesting waterfalls I have ever seen during a rare flood - stage.
Of course, I had to go inside of it.
And nearby, some unusual symmetrical geology in the riverbank and potential evidence of ancient human habitation. What do you think used to be here?
Had a lot of fun flying the drone here. Thanks for watching. - POV

I've been travelling for six decades and have rarely seen land-based hydrodynamics as crazy as these. Thanks
Ya really interesting. I was lucky to visit it during a rare moment of high water. Cheers
@@the_pov_channel Absolutely awesome vid! I felt like I was there too. I absolutely love waterfalls but have never been near something like this and this powerful. Really love the combination of videoing up close, you on the edge of something and then from above, etc all edited together virtually seamlessly, absolutely rivoting and mesmerising...look forward to more adventures/explorations!
Where else would they be based but land?
Wow so amazingly beautiful. I bet it felt amazing there
Beautiful waterfall...but why there's so much foam on the water?
I’m one of those 66 year olds who just loves watching your videos! Thanks for taking us with you! You are an example to all young people of what is important in this life, and as such you will excel!
I love hiking and so forth. Got food poisoning, destroyed my joints, love these videos. 65 soon!
Well said
Right there with you, I am 67 and use videos as such, as my new way of travel, hiking and…ect.
Thank you for the excellent trip.
I’m 67 and love these videos! I wish I would have done more of the things that I enjoy watching this young man do! Thankful he takes us along.
Just been feeling sorry for myself about getting old and missing the long hikes, then this popped up! Thanks for taking this 83-year-old along. It relieved some of my anguish.
Chuck, my friend, we all have moments like that. We think about the old days when we did this, that or the other thing. Then wind up depressing ourselves in the process that we can't do it anymore for one reason or another. I imagine you've lived a brilliant & wonderful life with those long hikes! You've likely seen a thousand different things that I couldn't even imagine with my mere 46 years of life. I envy you for that & feel down on myself that I ruined my body while I was young with hard physical labor jobs.
I never had the opportunity to take time out like that, because I started my family young & wasn't able to imagine a better way of making ends meet than to abuse my body. I've literally had only two vacations in my entire life; Neither were solely by myself or for myself. I will never have the experiences you have.
Like you though, I find some solace in channels like this one or any one of a dozen others I can think of off hand that take me to places I could never go, discover lost items that amaze or excite both the channel's host as well as you as the viewer; There are even channels that specialize in finding people's lost loved ones. Whether they be individuals still abandoned on some battlefield from three quarters of a century ago or persons that met their end by driving a vehicle into a body of water either by intent or accident.
It is truly living vicariously through other's experiences - but it isn't so bad. To be sure, I'd far rather see these sights with my own eyes, make these discoveries or render those services with my own actions. This, right here, is the next best thing & it allows me to do it without being immersed in agonizing pain. Meanwhile I can always turn it off to do the things I can conceivably still do.
Stay mad boomer. I’m enjoying the hikes while I’m young. I’ll go on even more just to spite you. Thanks for ruining the world.
I feel ya Chuck. He gets thanks from this quadriplegic former hiker living vicariously through the videos. This one reminds me of a hike I took in Tahquitz Canyon outside Palm Springs just weeks before losing the ability to walk. Life is bittersweet.
You're not alone , so many of us in the same boat with you- thank goodness for good things to watch while we're here,take care!🙏
Your camera work is spectacular you take it in so many different places that we can never be. The Drone is also cleverly managed. I am 85 years old and have done lots of packing and discovering but nothing like what you do we never had Google Earth or GPS or drones or cameras that you're making such great use of all those tools. Thank you so much
Agree 👍🏻
Exactly I wish we had that stuff when we were little kids we missed out
Thanks for picking up that beer bottle left by some clueless idiot.
Many years ago, I was camping with some friends & our dogs in a semi-remote area of the southern Sierras. We hiked from our camp to a little waterall to swim. One of the dogs stepped on a piece of broken glass & got a bad cut on his leg. A real bleeder. We had a helluva time getting him out of there & into a jeep to drive to the nearest small town (Murphys). We took turns holding his leg over the wound so he wouldn't bleed out & made it to a vet. He ended up being okay but it was really traumatic & left me with a lifelong fear of broken glass & a strong dislike for the people who leave it behind.
Please be careful.
"Pack it in, pack it out"!
@@TheAnarchitek FIND IT THERE PACK IT OUT TOO(TRASH ONLY)!!
@@steffybael1245 I have no respect for idiots who willingly tote cases of beer into the back country, but leave empties behind, so, "Pack it in, pack it out"!
@@steffybael1245 Think of the confusion archaeologists of 3,000 years from now will experience, trying to parse a culture that built crude rock huts, but was able to make glass, beer, and some kind of sealing cap.. Assuming the glass survives, like dinosaur bones, filled with silt, encased in a mud clod, and left alone for thousands of years.
Murphys, California, amazing little town. ❤
I am mesmerized by those falls.. The flowing water is insane but also unbelievably calming. This video is great to have when you’re having an off day. Thank you for taking us along and thank you for sharing.
Love your faithful companion and love to virtually accompany you two on your adventures.
Nice to see a series of natural waterfalls like this that haven't been molested by humans and incorporated into a park or something. Another great video, thanks for showing us this place!
Yes, Amen
Amen! My sister took me to see a half dozen waterfalls in Minnesota at the start of July here but they were surrounded with tourist infrastructure & some even had footbridges going over top of them. It completely robbed the landscape of it's mystique & natural feel. It just felt so ... "plastic." One of the so called waterfalls was actually an old style of dam. Neither she or the other tourists even seemed to notice the really old cut stone or how it was framed in these cut stones on either side of the body of water. Sure, they were weathered & covered in lichen, moss & overgrowth but still even a cursory look around revealed the truth. I gave up on smartphones almost ten years ago now because they ruin your perspectives & are an unhealthy influence on your life. (True, they have some handy utilities, but it's not worth it.) While I was there, once again, I was reminded of that choice I made. People were too busy looking through the little screen on their phones at the water coming over the dam to really look around themselves.
That rock formation at @4:15 looks like a skull.
I just wanted to write that.💀 :)
wow!
Indeed it does. There are several other face images in this video.
That's what I was seeing too
I saw that
Once again you have taken us on a journey that shows us how unimaginable nature and natural surroundings can surprise us and make us feel how truly blessed and beautiful the planet we call home is. Great video and keep giving us your pov😊👏
Spectacular landscape! Brilliant videography! Thanks!
Please go back every so often and see how fast/slow it changes.
I'm watching on a large screen and it's very coil. Thanks!
WOW❤Stunning!
Someone's already mentioned the skull at 4:15.
That's just the first of many effigies and art that you captured! That place is special, and looks to have been an important spiritual/gathering place.
The energy must have been palpable for you🤩
Great locale!
I agree with you.
Spectacular footage of waterfall, stream, and unusual rock and landscape. Was wondering why the water so brown? So cool that in what can seem a crowded world such wonderful places in the outback. Thanks for sharing your world of exploration and wonder!
You and Desert Drifter always seem to upload on the same days. It's a nice combo to watch at work.
thePOVchannel, Desert Drifter, The Trek Planner, Enigma Clandestino.
Who else does the whole desert/ruins thing?
I do.
@@sciencegremlin8307 my exact lineup hahaha
They loot Native ruins, I wouldn't support those disrespectful dudes. It's disgusting 🤢
@@thatdude3977 Have you ever watched a video of either of them? When they come across ruins they explicitly tell people only to look and not touch or take anything. They are constantly disappointed that the ruins they come across are tampered with.
Wooo. The pareidolia stimulated by that rock image at 1:54 is extreme. Eyes, nose, mouth. Eye holes on the same level, triangular nose. Wonder what the ancient ones thought? Did they raise their hands to heaven? Sacrifice offerings to the mighty whirlpool? A treat of a trip, thanks.
The amount of power in those waterfalls is insane!!! To look are the carved rocks and know that water cut those away over time!
These videos take me back to my younger years when I spent tons of time exploring like you. Thanks for bringing the joy you do just by sharing your adventures!
That water looks a bit sketchy to me. Especially all that foam. Makes me wonder what's causing it? I love your videos. Keep 'em coming!
@@jimrichards2171 you could just go to the place and follow the river straight from the source which one is pretty obvious snow but there could olso be an deep headwater like rio grande that rock formation does not look very tall so it would be easy to find the source
This was so cool. I'm more than a bit obsessed with waterfalls, and this was next level. Thanks for giving me something to smile about!
Absolutely gorgeous!!! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing waterfall and beautiful nature!!!
❤️🎉💯👌
Great videography...your channel is becoming a "can't miss " watch!
The waterfalls is your best so far. What a set! Amazing video. The waterfall!
Absolutely beautiful. I would love to camp and swim there, though it might be dangerous as the water might pull you to underwater streams and caves.
Thanks, Nolan! Another awesome video. Rushing water, cascades, and waterfalls-very refreshing! My ears are ringing but they always do, just more so... but I listen to everything with headphones and I didn't bother turning it down. I know how loud that sound actually is! ✌
i'm 68 and love yur videos, interesting and compelling, also yur dog is adorable and seems to be the leader
That is so cool! It reminds me of a waterfall in Wyoming, where you can wade through the falling water and find a small cave behind the waterfall. But the one in the video is far cooler!
Your dog’s tailless bunny-butt makes me happy lol 🥰
I really enjoy watching your hiking videos along with your dog , specially not hearing music , I love hearing nature sound’s when you fly your drone , as a disabled Vet. I can imagine camping and doing the things you do. Just Keep doing what your doing
Thank you for giving us the pleasure of experiencing all this natural beauty with you. Your amazing find is a generous gift.💕
Beautiful spring runoff would love to see this in the September when it dries
Imagine the caves, gullies, etc that water will make in the next few hundred thousand years.. Nature is INCREDIBLE. After seeing this I have subscribed, thanks.
There's a waterfall near Tucson that then flows underground - very scary box canyon.
Where? I live in Oro valley.
Great video, love the waterfall.
IN the UK we have a waterfall that come out of the side of a cliff face. The area is called Malam Cove and it was a huge cave in the ice age. Also not far away we have the worlds most dangerous stretch of water in the world The Strid, has claimed so many lives and still takes them.
I've seen pictures of that cove and it's beautiful. I'll have to read up on the Strid.
Nolan, thank you very much for getting out there and documenting this feature. I saw a few faces in time. I'll try and edit something together to highlight. Peace and love to you all.
What a dynamic and mesmerizing video! Thanks for sharing!
Wow!!!!! This is incredible! Please be careful and thank you so much for sharing. I was shocked you went in! I would be terrified. 😮
WOW! That was some beautiful footage. I was surprised how powerful that waterfall was too. Just everything about it had me in awe Thank you for sharing this adventure.
When I started this video I was too close to the monitor and now I'm soaked. Thanks a lot!
So many straight angles and seams. Interesting. And a "skull" formation too. Very interesting.
Very unique rock structures. The falls are so loud that it makes you wonder what could be underneath the falls. A cover so to speak . Good find
All those deep pockets and ledges are carved from flash floods. It's really cool to witness the power of nature, from a safe distance of harms way. 😊 Thanks for this great adventure.
I love the way you filmed in such a way we feel immersed in the water with you, and that sound, i could listen all day! Must have been cold! ...noticed all the snow patches around!
Your videos are visually stunning. Thank you for taking us on a journey to ‘experience’ something that we wouldn’t normally get to. It’s quite meditative. And how good it is to be reminded of the raw beauty of our planet and be taken for a little while from all the negativity and distractions vying for our attention. New sub here.
Great hike thanks for taking us along with you.
Ha! Your video couldn’t be more timely. It is 35C and your superb video is so refreshing! I could just feel that brisk, cold force. Thank you. Do continue Sir.
What a wonderful find and thank you for sharing it!!! Amazing footage!
Beautiful place. It looks like that river used to have a bigger flow at some point in the past. Cool stuff. Thanks, Nolan.
It's a great video but I would not recommend swimming in this kind of rivers, the current is very unpredictable and there is unseen cavities in the riverbed and possibility to get sucked in a hidden tunnel.
Be careful out there 👍
its insane that in billions of years, a planet with scenery like this exists
Really interesting seeing the water channel from above on the drone footage. At the beginning of the video, that rock to the left of the waterfall looks like a skull😉 Thanks for sharing these spectacular waterfalls with us.
Oh My, I can smell the water, and feel it on my face. Thankyou for making it real!
Thoroughly captivating waterflow!!! ♥👍
Awesome landscape. Well done recording these remote places for many people to enjoy.
i love the editing and video style very raw , like even seeing you in the drone shots are cool asf makes it seem more real and authentic
Your camera work is truly fabulous. Thank you for taking us to these beautiful places. ❤
I love how your dog realizes he’s in the shot and quickly moves out of the view.
SPECTACULAR videography. Extremely well edited. I just subscribed.
Crystal in Canada 🇨🇦
This waterfall is amazing! Thank you, for sharing.
I remember when the water filled up all the way up to the rocks.
But then the Dam caved in and it's never been the same.
Dangerous indeed - very reminiscent of the Strid on River Wharfe near Bolton Bridge, UK. Very dangerous water course, it also funnels water through a tiny span in bedrock.. Great video! Thank you for sharing... :)
Another great video! Thanks for taking us along😊
10:28 Wow. Look at all of those smoothly rounded edges and corners worn down by flowing water over millions of years. Some places look like holes have been cut by long gone, inexplicable, perfectly circular whirlpool activity. Interesting.
It only takes one flooding event to create a strong Eddy to carve out those holes. So it does not take millions of years.
The findings of dinosaur soft tissue, DNA, red blood cells osteocytes... Proves the world is not billions of years old.
This is sort of like the subway of escalante staircase I have seen pictures of. This just goes in and on. Beautiful!
Ok. My mind is officially blown. We can see how the awesome power of moving water creates these incredible landscapes & formations.
Can you determine the source? How long is this stretch of water & what do you call it? A river, a creek?
I know I'll watch this many more times. Thanks for taking us along.
So nice to see the natural beauty of the falls without trash laying around.
WOW Awesome waterfalls. Awesome videoing and drone work. this video was extremely enjoyale to watch.
10 stars for this one. I worry sometimes for your dog (and you) possibly falling over an edge. Safe hiking to you 2.
That light grey rock formation looks like a skull. Cooling off on a hot day.
Those potholes tell you that there was a lot more water running through there at one point or another.
This is the best thing I’ve ever seen. I just wish I was there with you, love your work 😅
Another amazing adventure. That waterfall was spectacular. Yes several people have gotten trapped in under water lava tubes and drowned at a similar waterfall here on the east side of the Big Island of Hawaii.
Just spectacular! Like a roller coaster of water 💧
Loved this hike. Waterfall amazing
Thank you for taking me along! Loved it!
That would bump you up a nice a slide down that waterfall! Epic video! Good drone video too! Thanks 🇱🇷
Wild waterfall. Great Ruins Loved the drone footage.
Totally Awesome falls, looks like a skull from the front.
So cool underneath in the grottos. ❤️
Thank You. I love the sound of the water. Your drone skills add so much perspective and visual content to your videos. What a fascinating place. Can you share the map coordinates of the long rock spine feature and so that we can view this on Google Maps?
The quarry like formations around that waterfall are amazing. It must have taken 200,000 years plus to get that sedimentary rock to look like that. The water has iron oxide in it to making it look rather reddish brown. There has been a much larger volume of water going through here in the past hence those huge pothole formations!.
You brought wonder and awe - thank you for being safe!
Utterly incredible, stunning, amazing, beautiful, wow!!
The color palette in the water was amazing to watch, the swirling beauty, thank you for showing us that 🙏
Where is this? I'm what I call a spanophile, a lover of natural rock spans, and those natural bridges in the waterfall that you're showing really drew my attention. Thanks,
Thankyou for sharing your amazing journeys and showing that there's a lot more than 7 wonders of the world in this wondrous world.
This is a superb channel - well done and thanks for your curiosity and integrity.
I am mesmerized at this BEAUTIFUL SCENERY!!!❤❤💜🤍🤍🤍🩷🩵🩵👀👀👀👀
Super cool, thanks for sharing!
I loved this waterfall and your filming. Thank you.
You are my favorite explorer. Thank you for sharing and I just love your Buddy ❤
Wow loved the location! But the sound of that waterfall was very loud and overstimulating 😅
I skipped most of the video bc of this
Turn the volume down! 🙄
New here! I'm so glad I decided to click on your video. Thank you for taking us on your journey that many of us won't experience.
That may be the happiest dog on Earth. 🥰
Me and the dog are whining anxiously on the ledge but you can’t hear us over the roar of the waterfall. 😂
Ten precaución y cuida a tu compañero y siempre trae con que defender a ti y a tu compañero
Don't you ever get scared of seeing a Bigfoot or skinwalker out there ALONE in those isolated & sometimes places where people HAVE NEVER BEEN!
Anybody else think the rock formation on the left at 4:20 looked like a skull with the water pouring into its mouth? What a place!
Watched this stoned in my VR. Outstanding!❤
BTW. I'm 70. Great little vaca❤
Try coming to the State of Victoria to visit the Disappearing Falls. They come over the cliff and land into a bed of large gravel. From there nothing flows out! (The water disappears underground somewhere!). Quite a sight!
I think they’re boil holes or gnamma. Caused by several small rocks or a single larger rock being moved around by water eventually carving away a hole over Thousands/millions of years given lots of different factors.. Fantastic content sir! Thanks to you and the pup!
When you first walked up on the waterfall @1:47 it looked to me like a giant skull. I know, i’m weird 🥸
i see it
omgeee.. so amaziiing!!! 👏 👏 👏
Always next level content 👌
