When I was in the undergrad years as a geology major (back in the late Pleistocene) we were required to have a hand lens around our neck on any field trip. And any field trip that involved banging on hard rocks, e.g. metamorphics, we were encouraged to also have eye protection. My right eye was saved from a flying splinter of gneiss by a pair of safety glasses. Always good advice for young geology students
Thank you for sharing it is impossible to take a wheelchair on these trails and I really miss these views since I've gotten older.My first exposure to college level geology was in 1972 and I've been enjoying your lectures since about 2011. My point is- take it to heart when I say thank you because I am sincere.

At 73, I'll not be making treks like this anymore. I started college as a geology major, switched to math, then computer science so labs were at a terminal and my field trips were to flight test locations, mostly inside a room with lots of computers and displays. Thanks for sharing, and be grateful for profession that keeps you in shapre.
I can only imagine how many dozens of excellent walking and hiking trails there must be in Washington State offering all kinds of interesting and informative geological knowledge combined with the beauty of nature especially when walking along a raging stream as you filmed here. I would say a lifetime of walks! Thank you again for taking us along on your nature trails with your students. It's the next best thing of being there with a great geology teacher to provide insight and knowledge as well as mutual enjoyment. Well done. Greetings from the Train Lord in Australia.
Nick: thanks for bringing us with you in the field. I completely agree with your comment that going into the field helps the lessons stick that much better. I’m so grateful to virtually tag along.
Once we get past sedimentary and igneous, my cabinet of knowledge about various rock types and what they mean is largely bare. It matters not. For the most part, I'm with Train Lord, and basically just enjoy the opportunity to get out in the hills and mountains, and in this one, with rushing water to keep us company. The essence of a mountain hike in gorgeous country, but with geology! Thanks for bring us along, Nick.
You created a monster. I love the geology but my wife just loves the rocks. UPS has just delivered her a brand new rock polisher and we are headed to the Prineville Oregon area to see what we can find at the BLM rockhounding sites nearby. I am the guy that recommended the OSMO stabilizer and will take ours on our little trip. Thank you again for all you have done to educate folks. Would love to get the chance to shake your hand sometime and sit in on a class.
Wow I really enjoyed seeing the stream, I love river rocks, all nice and round no edges. I could sit and bust rocks open all day, I had a rock garden when I lived in Arizona, would rely upon my Grandfather to come and tell me what they were. Father worked at a huge open pit copper mine, In Morenci AZ, lived there till I was 15. I love Washington State. Wish I hadn't worked so hard in my younger years, to go out on trails with my son. I am too old now to go on hikes.
Thanks for taking us along with you on a magnificent river trail. Really great seeing the students getting so involved with the various rocks and trying to identify them. Budding geologists everyone.
wow! awesome camera work nick! the bit w/ hayden was well done, great moment! on the trail, you wondered about the iron colored bands, red, mixed in, or in all of the rock......mumble jumble w/ other types of rock...........exotic terrenes.....etc............. well........ this was very confusing too me also, until i realized all this chaos in rock........all the tallest mountains, the deepest oceans, is just the strewn wreckage from the object (THEA?) that hit the earth, creating the MOON? These bands, strata of rock, however they name each and every one, i believe WAS FORMED SIMULTANEOUSLY MOON, then solidified, and fractured. i did occur to me folklore of PARADISE did, indeed, exist! except w/ very smooth surface, w/ PURE WATER in aquafers under ADAM and EVE's feet..............until SOPHIA sent the dark star to annihilate paradise. yep! from pdx! met you on psu campus at farmer's market, i was wearing black carhardts, w/ a guitar slung over shoulder, i said "watched you on youtube, I LOVE YOUR SHOW! are we burning the former beings of paradise in OUR AUTOMOBILES? thank you nick for helping me OPEN my eyes to SEE! .........you read it here FIRST!,........BUT DO TELL ALL?........call myself wm. angryfinger 5038970420 weloveyounick
Thank you for sharing this beautiful place! Love the various rocks and their details. Love the water sounds and watching the water flow over rocks. What a beautiful area. Thank you for taking us with you.
There have been 2 fires in the area in the past 27 years. The Rat Creek fire of 1994 brushed through this area. In 2014, the Hansel Fire swept over Ingalls Creek. Fire damage is still visible, some scars resulting from firefighters trying to contain the fire boundaries. That year over 1400 wildfires burned greater than 386,000 acres in Washington State. The Ingalls/Peshastin Creek area is still a beautiful treasure in the midst of desert and dry terrain.
Wow! Stunning! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! So dramatic and beautiful. Just makes me think about how different that all was 95Ma! You have opened my eyes! Thanks again. Peace and Good Fortune and Good Health to you and yours!
You are blessed with some beautiful wilderness in your part of the world. we would give anything to have such clean, clear, pristine water sources here in Australia. Imagine camping beside such a creek for a week...bliss, tranquility. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Very nice to have been able to come along on this wonderful hike..via utub and months after. Refreshing. Breaks open a rock, "I don't know what this is".
This truly feels like home. I freaking love this state. *At approximately the 10:00 mark when your student makes the comment about it looking like gabbro...that's exactly what I was thinking. The Mt. Stuart batholith looks strikingly similar to the Snoqaulmie batholith. Check out Bandara mountain which is approximately 10 miles east of North Bend. USFS 9030 and 9031 has amazing blue agate and the granite/diorite sits above an outcrop of limestone and andesite. There are also a couple of dacite exposures in the area along with a minor amount of serpentine. There is also rhyolite and sandstone along with metachert zoning. The geology is crazy and confusing, but always fascinating.
Thank you for taking us on the adventure. It feels so good to be out & about again. Very interesting rocks today. How old is the zeolites surrounded by Mt. Stewart batholith? 10:37 The same age, because the zeolites form as a secondary mineral in the batholith? Some of the rock seem to be high in iron minerals in the rock formation? Are those rocks a little extra heavy? On the Oregon Central Coast we find rusty lava flows, because they have so much iron in the lava. Red flows on black & covered with black lava. There are some in high sulfur, making them yellow. Seems to be special places mixed this way.
@@cyndikarp3368 Hi, Cyndi Karp. I think, from what Nick said, that the xenoliths are incorporated in the batholith (granite or granodiorite) while the magna is molten and are pieces of the crust that didn't melt. So perhaps they could be older. (BIG question mark.) I don't think they grow once incorporated into the batholith. Please, anyone, correct me if I'm wrong.
@@lizj5740 I'm sorry. I had zeolites & xenoliths mixed up. Zeolites grow in the granite. Xenoliths are rocks the granite surrounds, when softer & still hot. But, that means the xenoliths, foreign rocks could be either one. They could be younger, if from a sinking sea floor. The xenoliths could be older than the granite. So xenoliths it could be older, if the rock was broke from the older craton. Which could occur when the granite is forming pushing through craton rocks. It could be older if the rock came from an old subduction plate, laying like a ribbon. Older that when the granite formed, but accreted from older sea floor. Maybe from the NW, from the Arctic Ocean Belt or Baja BC travels of the Mt Stewart batholith
@@cyndikarp3368 Hi, Cyndi. I just thought you had misspelled "xenolith". ;-) Now I've learned a new word: zeolite. Thanks. See you around in the comments. Love from Australia.
Wish Illinois had someplace like this to roam, a few areas in very southern and northern parts, but 98% has nothing. Really cool to see bedrock with imbeaded stones that never melted in.
I was born in Illinois, raised in Indiana. Mostly we have a few hundred feet of soil deposited during the last Ice age. Makes for great corn fields! I watch Nick's videos to see perhaps the most amazing geology diversity in one region perhaps on earth!
The quarts could be related to orogeny, at the solidified granit was fractured and water building the quatz veins coming from water perculation or upflow from the subducting plate.
It was fun playing ''name that rock'' and listening to the interplay on identification (I got a few of them right). The last few minutes in the creek was wonderful - thanks, Nick! It's so nice to ''go on a hike'' without getting winded, and the students are good companions!
I loved my field classes in Astronomy, which were weekend overnighters. We had motorized equatorial mounted Celestron telescopes. We would piggyback mount our SLRs to the telescopes and get wonderful photos. This was back in the days of Kodachrome. I sure miss field trips.
I love it! Rock Licker Approved. I would love to come out and go on one of these outside adventures, unfortunately I live near Tulsa, Oklahoma. Most of the rocks out here consist of granite, rhyolite and gabbro. There's a ancient divergent boundary about a mile from where I live, the side of the outcrop "soil" has been eroded and there's some amazing geological formations. Oklahoma State University Geo students are out here all the time doing their studies. It's pretty cool watching them work.
The water looks surprisingly cold. I want to keep the flowing creek on a loop for relaxation. Thanks for all you're doing Nick. I love you and wanted you to know in case students aren't allowed to say it.
Beautiful. I think my toes got wet! When I'm with you on these narrow rocky trails, I always feel like I'm gonna stumble, as I'm a two-left feet person... plus I'm a trail maintenance sort, so I wanna rake stones out of the path, and move twigs n snags... Love, love you sharing your production equipment, big help there, and the sheer awesomeness...
I am wondering if that iron/rust rock is a submarine volcanic exhalite ? Are there sulfide metal deposits, pyrite, galena, sphalerite in the Ingalls ? Also, that hike cooled me a bit sitting here in Tucson. Cheers, Mark * * *
The largest most splendid colored huge timber rattler I have ever seen was up Engals Creek fishing in the 60's for dolly vardin, the best tasting fish ever.
BTW - That iPhone and you obviously are taking some really fine looking video. Stuff just looks great. Are you using iMovie for edits or something whizzier? Anyway, thanks again.
With regard to the red stained rocks it’s possible you underestimate the amount of hard rock interstitial water present, in particular when the hard rocks come closer to the surface and microscopic fractures begin to occur
@Nick Zenter I just was looking at the great earthquake in the pacific northwest about the movement in the north west. the question about why its moving clockwise northwest with a 2 week break episode. now im no expert but what about the san andreas vault pressuring the west part causing the east part to move more slowly and due the movement couldn't it be simply movement intervals from the san andreas vault moving on the cascadian vault line especially since the west part of the san andreas vault is moving north while the east part moves south. doesn't this explain the clockwise movement ?
Nick: Maybe you should consider making some videos about hotels and such in your region? Because especially the international audience might want to fly in and stay in places you recommend. There may be tourist traps people should avoid staying in.
*MY CAT LIKES TO WATCH BIRD AND SQUIRREL* videos on RUclips. I watch Nick Zentner PNW moving water (stream, creek, river) videos to the very end. Is there a problem here?

Thank you for sharing it is impossible to take a wheelchair on these trails and I really miss these views since I've gotten older.My first exposure to college level geology was in 1972 and I've been enjoying your lectures since about 2011. My point is- take it to heart when I say thank you because I am sincere.
I'm also movement challenged and I really appreciate the geology and virtual hikes.
I like the text in the introduction: "Met up with some friends..."
That kind of relationship is the best guarantee for a learning experience for both the teacher and the student.
Another great field trip! Fun to tag along - thanks Nick! 👌

You can see xenoliths in the granite rock in Brisbane City Hall
Looks like a nice place to pospect
The white mineral at the 14:50 mark could be magnesite since it often an alteration product of serpentinite.
when is the next feild trip??? dont care where its going . i wanna go!
and it looks like a lot of Leaverite.
I'm sorry I know we are suppose to be interested in the rocks, but those flower steal the show.

Ingalls Creek is a lovely Geologic Knife. 👍🏽
In some areas, where there is iron deposits, there could be gold. Seen that in Nevada.. actual gold and iron mixed.
@Nick Zenter I just was looking at the great earthquake in the pacific northwest about the movement in the north west. the question about why its moving clockwise northwest with a 2 week break episode. now im no expert but what about the san andreas vault pressuring the west part causing the east part to move more slowly and due the movement couldn't it be simply movement intervals from the san andreas vault moving on the cascadian vault line especially since the west part of the san andreas vault is moving north while the east part moves south. doesn't this explain the clockwise movement ?

Im a computer scientist, not a geologist. I would love to have taken some geology, especially after watching your videos.
? SO WHAT IS THE TECTONIC MECHANICS OF THIS SPECIFIC AREA ?.... Clogged subduction wedge...or Ophiolites thrust-ed up against Mt Stuart Batholith ?
You have Pine beetles too, noticed a lot of dead trees?
I'd have a gold pan in that creek!
I think they've gotten a good bit of gold out of Ingalls Creek, and other creeks nearby.

NICK HOW COLD WAS THE WATER.
Quite chilly
Are the streams strictly snow melt or spring fed??
Looks like there was a forest fire went through there and the forest has recovered.
Does that creek run like that throughout the summer months?
Not that high, its a lot of snow melt, so it will be lower in summer and early fall
When I'm up by little naches there's tons of iron staining to the point the soil is redish
