Mostly a scenery video while hiking with Liz - just a taste of what this area offers on a clear day. Detailed geology content was filmed...but my wireless microphone got disconnected somehow when I took off my pack during a little break on the trail. Regardless, enough basic Ghost Volcano commentary survived - before the audio went away - to hopefully make this one worth your while. Thanks for watching.
Right click on mic track for a scroll down menu for duplication? Some mics come with built in limiters or noise gates to suppress noise but can also suppress wanted volume for short lengths.
Even though I'm in Australia,I think I find these videos and lectures so interesting because my bit of Oz is flat - hundreds and hundreds of kilometres of flat. Like, lazer flat!
Similar, I'm in London so no mountains and definitely no volcanoes. This is unmissable for filling in the big picture geology that we dont have locally.
If you're a lover of the Northwest, the namesake of the very wilderness Nick filmed in, the Hon. William O. Douglas (1898-1980,) former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and US Supreme Court Justice, author of a 2-volume autobiography, and many books on nature and law, including "Of Men and Mountains" should be your revered author. I own and cherish this book, and whether you're from the NW or not, will appreciate it as well. On its cover is his portrait deep in thought over a detailed topographical map of the North Cascades. As a child, he nearly died of "infantile paralysis;" to build his strength, he began hiking the foothills and then the mountains of the Northwest. Gradually, his health and wellbeing were transformed, and he began his life-long love of wilderness and discovery. In his preface of "Of Men and Mountains" he stated "I learned that the richness of life is found in adventure, it develops self reliance and independence. Life teems with excitement. This book may help others to use the mountains to prepare for their adventure." In the spirit of Hon. William O. Douglas, between Tuesday and Saturday, I get to go to Wallowa Lake, OR., the nearby Mt. Howard Tram and Chief Joseph the Elder's grave; drive the Hells Canyon Scenic Byway to Halfway, OR.; visit my mother in New Plymouth, ID.; stay in Idaho Falls, experience Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons, and catch Craters of the Moon on the way back. Of course along the way is the Columbia River Gorge, Multnomah Falls, and ample views of Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams and the Blue Mountains.

A nice brief on W.O. Douglas. Enjoy the Wallowas and the tram ride, where you'll find yourself (almost) atop a gorgeous island of uplift geography pushed up along the ancient edge of the Continent. Go back in the winter and you can also ski back down... ;)
Best views I'll have all day. Makes me wish I were a couple decades younger than my 76… Gorgeous country, interesting geology, and as a non-geologist, I don't mind missing the "detailed geological commentary" lost when the mic disconnected.
Thanks Nick for a reminder that not every trip has to be a study in something. Sometimes ( as often as possible) a hike should just be a hike.🙂 de-stress and enjoy the great outdoors👍
*THREE VOLCANO PAN* starts at about 7:25, don't miss it. Can't match that in Philadelphia or Upper Sandusky! Mt. Rainier, stump of Goat Rocks, and Mt. Adams.
Hello, Nick....I live@ the lower end of the Cascades, 60 miles west of Mt. Shasta...your videos put our mtns. in a perspective that will last me a lifetime!
Geesh!....... 18 mins & 30 sec in before Nick picks up a rock & "does some geology!" I was beginning to fear there might not be any at all! Very impressive scenery just the same & I did enjoy the geologic history. Again.... another perfect location for spotting sasquatch!
Nick, sitting here on The Isle of Wight, England. You have taken me to some spectacular areas in the last few months! Now watching this, I realize I am to old to walk that trail but have taken me there. Spent a lot of time hiking in Arizona in my younger years. Thanks for all your your wonderful and totally eccentric lectures and On the fly visits.
I just love the day hikes you do, I know I could not handle a trail like that anymore, Makes me sad that i didn't more of it when I was younger. too busy working and weekends were housework chores. Your thoughtfulness to take us along is just wonderful, thank you so much. I really liked that frothy rock you picked up.
Thanks Nick, this is amazing. I never thought I'd get to do a field trip to see volcanoes like this and without your livestreams I wouldn't even understand what I'm looking at.
Love this trail. It's nice to know this is what ghost volcanic areas look like. I camped with my son here a couple of years ago and watched the sunrise on Mt. Rainier.
And I too am from Adelaide enjoying Nick Zentner's geology of the Cascades and this absolutely stunning walking trail with an obvious and still active volcanic history being explained along the way. Awesome and much appreciated by people such as us so far away.
@@TrainLordJC We were late to the party in May, but have enjoyed all the new 'Nicktorials' ever since! Even having marathon catchups! He has been a blessing especially now. We envy his students. My Husband did study some geology subjects at Adelaide Uni and has enjoyed the reimmersion.
@@craftybear4846 I have pretty well watched all of Nick Zentner's lectures and field excursions discussing the awesome geology of the Pacific North West which I travelled through back in 1988 in a 1969 VW campervan. Randall Carlson is also excellent in discussing the scablands of the area. Lots of great learning.
Thank you, Nick, for the picturesque view of mountains. I am learning so much about Washington from your videos. The scenery is so beautiful compared to eastern Kansas.
When I was first taught geology in the 1960s the percieved wisdom was that if a volcano had not erupted for over 100 years it was deemed to be dormant. How wrong was that !
Love your streaming videos. I am from Vancouver, BC Canada. In my 20’s I was on a road trip to Las Vegas and we went south to Seattle and east on I90 towards Ellensburg Washington. I was gobsmacked by the different terrains that I saw. Since the Pandemic I came across Nick Zentiner on my RUclips. It has been the best thing for me that has ever happened. I work in the healthcare field and have always been a hobbyist for geology. I just love rocks. I also love Volcanoes. I wish British Columbia had information more available like this as our province is similar in so many ways to Washington State. Since the pandemic hit us I have learned so much. I recently spent 6 weeks in the interior of British Columbia starting in the Okanagan and finishing up in the Shuswap. I was on little Shuswap lake and I took many pictures of the landscape there that I am sure Nick would find interesting. You can see the folds of the land and lots of Quartz and Mica. I just love it. I am truly a westcoast girl and I love the cascade mountain range and the volcanics north of Vancouver towards Whistler. So much to see without even having to leave your car. Mr Zentiner one day when the borders open you really should check out the “Chief” in Squamish. The big granite rock there. I am figuring that maybe this is a left over ghost volcano perhaps? Its a massive out crop of granite rock that is a mountain. There is a gondola you can go on to the top that is quite expensive really but worth it at least once. There is a hike you can do to the top called “The Sea To Sky Gondola.” You can hike up and take the gondola down. Which I have done and very enjoyable and knee saving for the way back. I love your programming and thank you from Vancouver Canada.
The Mesozoic formations are all over, just intruded and buried by more recent formations. “The bones of the old cones” 4-Dimensional geology explains a lot.
A gorgeous hike through magnificent scenery and forest trails with spectacular views of active volcanoes as well as ghost volcanoes, all previously explained from watching all your lecture videos. Ellensburg must surely be a paradise for someone such as yourself Nick being a geologist who can truly appreciate the magnificence of this environment as you walk these trails and admire the spectacular views etc. Thank you for bringing us along this very special trail. Much appreciated! By all watching for sure. Cheers from the Train Lord in South Australia a long way away from this epic action although in 1988 I bought and drove a 1969 from San Francisco to Alaska through this range and managed to see Mt St Helens but unfortunately I didn't know about this particular trail which I surely would have hiked had I known about it at the time. However I wandered many others during my epic sojourn throughout North, Central and South America in the late 80's.
Thanks again Nick. I love watching your adventures and learning along the way. It sounds like you have some more exciting adventures coming in the future.
Loved this one! What a beautiful day. We loved seeing Mt Adams and the Goat Rocks wilderness together from this perspective. It helped us picture the size of the former GR volcano in a way we couldn't while in the GR wilderness. Hope to catch the next episode premier. Been too busy hiking in central WA!
Hi Nick, Love your video Histories of Geology! Do you have any videos of Eastern Oregon? In particular, Smith Rocks, the Painted Hills, and there are some tiny volcanoes remnants (basically holes about twelve feet across and no cinder cones that are scattered around. Also Steen Mountain and the John Day Fossil Beds. I'm from Walla Walla originally and love your Eastern Washington vids. I remember my Dad, on a family trip to Hat Rock State Park, commenting on the importance of the Wallula Gap, although at age ten, I had no idea what he was talking about.
Cash Prairie north of Rimrock on Hwy. 12. Looks like Adams with Gilbert and Ives peaks to the north. Nick is facing east Rainier would be picture right
Next time you head home, wish you would do a video on the St Croix river. Loved visiting the Wisconsin Interstate State Park and the Ice Age Megaflood evidence there. I thought it fantastic, and it was my gateway into Ice Age Megafloods (Big Valley, Small River) which brought me to this channel. But I see little love for this kind of stuff east of the Rockies. Its particularly frustrating for me living in the Mississippi Delta area, which is the floodplain created from these repeated megaflood events (Minnesota, St. Croix Chicago Rivers and probably many more) which means all their evidence is under my feet, and yet, nobody cares due to the area being a New Madrid Fault story and nothing else. Yet I know there has to be a way to date and categorize these episodic events like those of lake Missoula.
It's hard for me to believe that normal geologic forces could completely erode a volcanic cone so quickly... not even a pile of rubble left. Where did it all go? What tore it all up? What transported it all away? I'm thinking there had to be some pretty extraordinary forces at work such as the Pacific Northwest is rife with... ice age erosions due to glaciers and sudden catastrophic melt water flows.
Did you not listen to what he said about weathering erosion, uplift erosion and runoff erosion? It's also not eroded into a flat spot. The base of the mountain is still there, just not readily recognizable as a volcano.
Great one Nick. I kind of want to know about those peaks in the foreground of Ranier. More Volcanoes I assume. Parasitic Cinder Cones or old dead Strato Volcanoes?
Seeing a lot of real pretty cones dotting the landscape, as well as obviously eroded pretty little cones. Are any of them 'alive'? Can they still erupt?
Beautiful scenery! I'd be terrified though of meeting a grizzly bear on the trail. I had heard that one of their main hangouts is the north-western US (as well as Alaska and B.C.).
Grizzlies aren't found in that area of Washington state. Just black bears and cougars. Although it was big news a couple of weeks ago when a mature wolverine was sighted and identified on the Pacific Ocean coast of Pacific County, Washington. First wolverine sighting in modern history!
DIDN'T REALIZE ADAMS WAS AS BIG AS RAINIER. ALSO DO YOU HAVE THOUGHTS OF GOING MAGNET FISHING FOR YOUR OLD GEO HAMMER THAT WAS LOST DOWN THE COLUMN. JUST MIGHT BE ABLE TO SNAG IT IF YOU GET BACK UP THERE.
Some guy already got it out. Turns out it was recovered fairly soon after the video of him dropping in down the crack was first shown. The guy recovered it...but then moved and was busy for a couple of years, before he 'found' it again in his stuff and got it back to Nick.
I love your vids, and this one was particularly beautiful, but I find that fake little giggle every time you say "cleavage" annoying. I first came on the word with regard to minerals when I was maybe 8 years old (My God, that would be more than 60 years ago!) and I never heard it in regard to breasts until I was an adult. At the time I found the meaning opaque and had to go to a dictionary, and mineral cleavage is still, to me, the chief meaning and the first thing that comes to mind when I see or hear the word. Don't mind me. It's a minor thing.
Muffler boy addictions can be treated. I suggest you watch Formula-E racing as the first step in a withdrawal process. Formula 1, Indy Car, and Nascar are forms of FFF (fossil fuel flatulence) and their extinction is inevitable.
Nick, I usually like your videos and have watched many of them. However, on this one it sure seems to me that a geologist might want to focus more on the scenery and telling us a lot more of your interpretation of what has gone into creating it instead of 15 minutes of you silently walking on a trail saying little.
I'm 88 years old and enjoy your hikes the only kind I can take. Thanks
Me, too . . . at 82!

Hey Nick did the cascades poke up through the exotics?
FYI folks....DO NOT try to carry on your trekking poles when flying, you HAVE TO CHECK them in your baggage. I know things....
What would you do if you saw a puff of smoke coming from Rainier.
Is that a basalist that your walking along
prime grizzly and black bear territory. No bear bells?

Careful or you're going to get super healthy 😄
I love your vids, and this one was particularly beautiful, but I find that fake little giggle every time you say "cleavage" annoying. I first came on the word with regard to minerals when I was maybe 8 years old (My God, that would be more than 60 years ago!) and I never heard it in regard to breasts until I was an adult. At the time I found the meaning opaque and had to go to a dictionary, and mineral cleavage is still, to me, the chief meaning and the first thing that comes to mind when I see or hear the word. Don't mind me. It's a minor thing.
Don't be so spathic! ;)
Nick, competing with NASCAR now, pick your times better, LoL
I will take Nick over Nascar any day of the week.
this show is 20 minutes, NASCAR goes on for hours
You know and I don't know
Muffler boy addictions can be treated. I suggest you watch Formula-E racing as the first step in a withdrawal process. Formula 1, Indy Car, and Nascar are forms of FFF (fossil fuel flatulence) and their extinction is inevitable.
Nick has no competition
Nick, I usually like your videos and have watched many of them. However, on this one it sure seems to me that a geologist might want to focus more on the scenery and telling us a lot more of your interpretation of what has gone into creating it instead of 15 minutes of you silently walking on a trail saying little.
This video takes us through exploring and learning, and on beyond into experiencing. Thanks for taking us along!
