Nick, Put it back! Those two rocks have been buddies for over 5000 years and nine years ago you took them apart. Yer killing me, Smalls!!! Buahahaha! I love your shows, man! Your energy is much like my dads! He was a great teacher and I can’t watch you without choking up! Awesome! Thank you!

These videos never get old.

I knew nothing about the North West's geology before watching these videos. I know feel so much better informed. Great series for the non-scientists such as me.

Thanx ..since moving to east coast I have missed the beauty of Washington. You keep me connected♥️👏🏼👏🏼

Outstanding series Nick. Excellent editing and fascinating topics! Now I've got to fly the Yakima River Canyon.

Great video

Thanks Nick...I've always contended the Lewiston-Clarkston valley had to have been formed with an enormous amount of uplift, but my science teacher friend insists the Clearwater River carved it out. Can't wait to show him this episode of Roadside Geology...

Hello from Washington. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for this wonderful video. I lived and worked in Yakima more than 30 years ago and I enjoyed that canyon and the road thru it that year. I immediately recognized the area where the river drops into the canyon from the area north as I drove thru it a few times for work. Always wanted to fly fish that section but never had the opportunity.

"All of its energy is concentrated vertically..." I was listening to a geotechnical engineering lecture and the work of Luna Leopold and others on the behavior of creeks and rivers was discussed. According to that work, when viewed in cross section from their head-water to base-level, rivers try to achieve a logarithmic decay curve (an energy decay curve) and will either cut rock or add sediment along its course to achieve it. Once that happens, the river is in equilibrium. After that, it's only tectonic movement or weathering that will affect a change in the river's degrading or aggrading its channel.

Thanks agan.

Thanks, Nick. Hadn't seen this one. Helps explain even more after seeing the Geol 101 taping. I am betting Craig's Hill was a great lab class for this section.... :)

wow. I'm from the Llano Estacado of Texas and am fascinated with Washington geology. seems like all catastrophic geological events can be witnessed there. idk does Washington have a meteor crater?

Hi Greg. No meteor crater, but some think there's a big one beneath all of our flood basalts.

Beautiful!

Thanks for including cultural historic background. Chinook people very deservedly warrant mention.

Thanks. Might've screwed up. Maybe Yakama Nation instead of Chinook. Am trying to determine answer.

I see elliptically weathered pebbles in Craig's Hill as a high energy water flowing environment.

Were there people living on this land during the floods?

Huel was something else..salton sea...hi..hope your doing grande...

❤😊

Combination of both but water made it obvious ;-)

If we watch ALL of your videos, do we get some kind of Zentner Geology Certificate? :-)

❤️

Nice presentation , though I think the 5 million year thing is a bit of a stretch and ignores Noah's flood evidence as illustrated by Geo Prof Steve Austin on youtube Mt St Helens discourse. Thanks
