I don't know if I commented on this the first time I watched this, but this is one of the most fascinating interviews you've done. Gary and Bob are really knowledgeable and enjoy sharing it. This is so amazing that I feel I should show up with a six pack of really good beer as a thank you.
What a beautiful place. I'd love to be there with you, and I love to learn more about all the geology. I've learned a lot from watching all of Nick's videos.
We are so fortunate. Thank you Nick, Darrel and Gary for sharing your experience and knowledge. I'm glad to see Liz. I appreciate learning about accessibility as well.
Not something i would watch, but I did, and I enjoyed it, he has a lot of knowledge, baker is still beautiful but now I know a little more of what I looked at
FINALLY MY MOUNTAINS I Grew up on skied on Played on both side of the border as did my family before me!!!!THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ and included the twin sisters toooooooo I have died and gone to heaven Thank you Thank you 🙏🏻🫶🏻👵🏻
As an Oregonian we never really cared to learn about Washington. As I am almost 30 now and into prospecting I am 100% blown away by Washington geology! Oregon is great but you guys mountains ohhh my gooooodness!
Those areas have ridiculous views. I need to get up to Mt Baker. Thanks for making new videos i have watched many over the years. We live in such an incredible diverse state!
What a great episode! I can really relate to this; as I'm over in the Bozeman MT area and basically an amateur geologist/ paleo botanist, thanks to some classes I took at MSU back in the 90's...
Wow! Lookit all that Fireweed you are passing through Nick! That's the tall stalks with the purple flowers. Those tell us when summer is ending. They bloom from the bottom up. When the last little flower at the top falls off - Summer's over.
I read a lot of comments. Seems like many people are too busy or just hikes like this are too risky (older age, health issues, etc.) well I am working on an idea to bring the experience into your home. One day :) for now we are blessed to live through this channel!
I climbed all those peaks many times, but I'm only just now learning about their past and true natures, thanks to your fantastic channel, Nick. Love it!
Three gifted teachers (plus hiking machine Liz) whose skills and fascination and verbal dexterity just kept me glued to a screen immersed in scenic perfection, also gave me sadness at the inevitable end, that it could not continue longer yet. Such a vital gift this was!
Nick...... I just gave you a thumbs up...... you are courteous enough to hold those rocks up to the camera.... There's so many people watching that cannot get out of the house they're stuck in bed and you literally make it so they can get out and go somewhere in the videos..... God loves people like you and Gary Paull and the University of Washington professor Darell Cowan . Thanks for taking us with you sir.
Enjoyed those men showing their love and knowledge as geologists and a photographer. Lifelong learners about their home area. Your questions let them provide more about previous and to come learning. Thanks!!
Wow; getting my Geo-fix from the best today, maybe just a little behind on the hikes. However, that's a good thing with field trips you can do most of the work in any order... I am a slightly disabled walking vet of seventy-three years of age so you guys are my legs so to say... Thanks for doing all the climbing, don't have much wear & tear left... LOL
Nick, thank you for having Darrel on!! I went to UW and he was one of my favorite professors. I’m glad to see he is still doing well. He is very knowledgeable and well respected. Your videos are usually killer but well done 👍🏽 - Brady
Great video. That's what I always loved about college. As an undergrad and years as a grad student, then most of my life working at colleges: listening to people who know what they are talking about. And geology is a fascinating subject. There is so much to learn about rocks and mountains. It's incredible that chunks of mountains can be transported thousands of miles in millions of years. Thanks.
I wish more people would learn to love listening to people who know what they're talking about, instead of falling in love with the sound of their own dumb voices. The world would be a better place, for sure.
It still blows my mind when I see rock formations from far far away just all welded together like it was all one terrain, just so cool to hear it all broken down into exotic terrains. A huge thank you to you Nick,Darryl, Garry and to Liz ....Scott
Great guests and an epic season finale hike! For those of us unable to navigate these trails, what a wonderful chance to be taken along, and see the scene through the eyes of such knowledgeable guests. Thank you for continuing to dazzle us with your videos!
Well Professor Nick you really have out done yourself with this video! What spectacular scenery and a big thank you to Gary and Darrel for all their geological knowledge. I have to wonder if Gary doesn't have a little mountain goat blood in him lol. A Big shout out to Liz for being such a trooper. Although I'm sure she loved being in such a beautiful place. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.
Thanks to all for a wonderful time, I never get tired of it! I’m going to have to watch this a few more times before it settles into my mind. Can’t wait for the next round. See you later!
Terrific video! So much great information in the field on a great hike. I have been there and it is truly beautiful. Thanks for bringing us along! I don’t think anyone would hit the delete button!
Wow, nothing else is like hearing from the experts in these beautiful places..... Above and beyond Nick! Greatest thanks to Backcountry Gary Paull and Professor Darrel Cowan, your contribution to our understanding of these places is immeasurable. Nick and Liz, you two carry the day.
Thank you lady and gentlemen, sincerely. Your affable nature makes these quite involved subjects so easy to grasp. The videography is wonderful too, Mr. Zentner. Thanks again.
24:00 We got , here on Vancouver Island, one really old formation, 420mya, called Nitnat tuff, but that's not a limestone, but volcanic ash , but similar age.
33:00 Hi Nick, I’ve been gone for a while, but just getting the time again to delve in to your amazing videos!! NO, we won’t hit the stop button or anything like that, if we are really passionate about this great planet! You guys are so appreciated for going and doing this work and sharing your knowledge and experience with us. Thank you Darrel and Gary for sharing this great time and education with us in this video! Nick, I have to chuckle, when I travel and see the topography and geology and I think to myself, in some cases when I see it, “German chocolate cake”! You are an amazing teacher, thank you so very very much! 🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼❤️😎
Visuals are a must for a new student like me. Thank you. BC CAN was my home where I raised my children. I’m so excited to hear you explain what I lived and breathed for so many years. OKC OK here
Was just at Artist Point on Thursday and I was thinking while taking in the breathtakingly amazing vistas, I wonder what Nick et al could tell me about this area and voila you post a video from last Tuesday! Thank you for what you do!
@17:40 In reference to the Bell Pass Melange- I wondered in the previous stop, if the red unconformity toward Mt. Shuksan and a similar unconformity to the far left/@North? were of the same formation and were subsequently separated by erosion. They both appeared to have a dominant oxidized iron constituent that sticks out like a sore thumb. Then we came to the second stop with a close up of the same melange, and Darrel interestingly described its nature, mechanics and inter-relations with the adjacent formations. I love this!
I think that the orange splash on the south side of Shuksan Arm is likely hydrothermal alteration from the 2 million-year-old Lake Ann stock out of sight beneath.
Yeah, that! I so want to see someone do an animation of how these little blobs of rock from all over the globe got together in the PNW, including all the subduction from both directions, strike slip faults and intrusions. Would be so much fun, especially if slow. 😁🤓 Thanks Nick, Gary, Darrel and Liz for taking us along for this fun hike!
Sadly, his site goes too fast and doesn't seem to include a lot of terranes. Hopefully one day, but saw some pretty good ones on some previous Nick vids. Just a matter of time.....🙂
Nick, you FINALLY got to the Yellow Aster. And now our collective minds are blown into tiny little bits. Something comes to mind. Isn't this the crumple zone of clockwise rotation? And also in the Cascade volcanic arc? Is it any wonder that all kinds of bits from all kinds of terranes get barfed up to the surface? I can't imagine how you're going to reference this in your Baja-BC series. Good luck.
Oh my goodness, this video has so many gems of insights! Love seeing Darrel's copy of Misch 1966 as I keep encountering Tabor et al's references to this report, Fred Beckey's books too. Thank you Nick, Darrel, Gary, and Liz for a beautiful day. P.S. The gentle dome in front and right (north) of Mt. Baker - that one sees from Yellow Aster Butte - is called Keep Kool Butte (2 Ks).
What an amazing video. The scenery is absolutely beautiful and the wealth of knowledge and information from Darrel, Gary, and Nick. This hike and trails are a most do.
Thank you for such a wonderful video Nick. I can't say that I can follow everything that Darrel, Gary, and you are talking about, but I sure loved the scenery! More please! And I do continue to learn.
It's so important to watch and listen carefully to folks who are "experts, spending the majority of their adult lives on this topic, ask questions
Beautiful! Truly Heaven on Earth, something mankind can not recreate! Only try to preserve?
Have lived Wa in my whole life. Living in Wa never gets old.
From a fellow Wisconson-ian , thanks for the vacation.
Rock Stars, All... Thank you, Nick, Darrel, Gary, & Liz!
Absolutely stunning views and great information. Thank you so much!
Special, just so special!
So fun to see Liz!
So beautiful!! All of it. OMG.

Watching again to anchor information recently posted. Wow.

I’ve spent all of my adult life, skiing, climbing and exploring this corner of the North Cascades
I had a view of Mt Shuksan for over 15 years. That was the longest I stared at a mountain.
As an Oregonian we never really cared to learn about Washington. As I am almost 30 now and into prospecting I am 100% blown away by Washington geology! Oregon is great but you guys mountains ohhh my gooooodness!
Fantastic Video. Thank you.
Evening in paradise! Geology at its finest!
Those areas have ridiculous views. I need to get up to Mt Baker. Thanks for making new videos i have watched many over the years. We live in such an incredible diverse state!
What a great episode! I can really relate to this; as I'm over in the Bozeman MT area and basically an amateur geologist/ paleo botanist, thanks to some classes I took at MSU back in the 90's...
I first moved out to Pac Beach in 75,, the Cascades/ Olympics, are the most incredible places on the planet.
Spectacular Scenery!
Gorgeous scenery. Incredible geology. Hiking with two absolute experts who explain it all.
Wow! Lookit all that Fireweed you are passing through Nick! That's the tall stalks with the purple flowers. Those tell us when summer is ending. They bloom from the bottom up. When the last little flower at the top falls off - Summer's over.

Back to watch it again😊 being taught from the best thank you
Gary Paull= Impressive competence.
Thank you Nick. beautiful hike without leaving the house.
I climbed all those peaks many times, but I'm only just now learning about their past and true natures, thanks to your fantastic channel, Nick. Love it!
This is pure gold in terms of both geology and scenery! Thanks Nick, Gary and Darrel.
It’s so wonderful to come along on this hike with great conversation. Such a complicated story. And Liz wasn’t too camera shy.
Darrel Cowan is a gem. Thanks so much for getting him on video!
Ah love these guys! Really love all the guest geologists! So fun getting to tour this beauty w such knowledgeable fun guys!! Thanks Gary and Darrel!!
Another learning experience

Thanks, guys. Wish I could have been on the bike. Myrl
Hike, that is.
@@myrlbeck1931 You were there: it all rests on Mt Stuart.
Well your name kept popping up as if you were with us! I thoroughly enjoyed your recent interview with Nick.
I miss you, Myrl.
I retired in B'ham and hike this area all season. What a treat it must be to hike with people so knowledgable. Thank you!
Enjoyed those men showing their love and knowledge as geologists and a photographer. Lifelong learners about their home area. Your questions let them provide more about previous and to come learning. Thanks!!

So much knowledge, so many unknowns, so much beauty! So enjoyable. That WAS a treat!
It’s such a blessing to (spiritual) to go out on these field trips I can’t do anymore. Thanks Nick and company.
Beautiful hike and interesting conversation
It still blows my mind when I see rock formations from far far away just all welded together like it was all one terrain, just so cool to hear it all broken down into exotic terrains. A huge thank you to you Nick,Darryl, Garry and to Liz
....Scott
What word to describe… do not have one! Thanks a lot to the four of you!!! Awesome Episode ❣️❣️❣️
Thank all of you so much for this excellent tour, video and discussion of the geology-a real treasure
Great guests and an epic season finale hike! For those of us unable to navigate these trails, what a wonderful chance to be taken along, and see the scene through the eyes of such knowledgeable guests. Thank you for continuing to dazzle us with your videos!
This is when your job is your passion, you can tell how much these guys love geology 🪨 Thank you for sharing this passion with us. Very inspiring! ❤️
Another Top-Shelf production. Thanks Nick, Darrel and Gary!
I'm not too much on the geology, but this is beautiful country!
Thank you guys for taking us along. Just beautifull. Love the discussion even if some is over my head.
What an awesome trail and one incredible view thank you for teaching us what we are looking at
Another wowza video, Nick, with another intrepid crew!
Well Professor Nick you really have out done yourself with this video! What spectacular scenery and a big thank you to Gary and Darrel for all their geological knowledge.

Terrific video! So much great information in the field on a great hike. I have been there and it is truly beautiful. Thanks for bringing us along! I don’t think anyone would hit the delete button!
Great video and sound quality.
so glad to see and hear this discussion and scenery; thanks Darrell and Gary and Nick
Fun as always Nick! Fantastic views! Thank your friends and take Liz out to dinner for putting up with you old rock hounds! 🤣😁✌️
Thanks for giving us this treat, experts talking about what they know. + great scenery.
Wow, nothing else is like hearing from the experts in these beautiful places..... Above and beyond Nick! Greatest thanks to Backcountry Gary Paull and Professor Darrel Cowan, your contribution to our understanding of these places is immeasurable. Nick and Liz, you two carry the day.
Gorgeous scenery, and a fascinating topic.
Wow! Wonderful to join you at Mount Baker! Love learning more about the rocks and what they are how they fit together! ❤❤🏔🏔 Thank you
Always packed full of mind blowing views and discussions. I see every drive with new eyes and my roadside geology book. Fascinating!
Thank you lady and gentlemen, sincerely. Your affable nature makes these quite involved subjects so easy to grasp.
The videography is wonderful too, Mr. Zentner.
Thanks again.
Thanks …that was fun!!!
Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome Nick 👍😄
We drive up to Mt Baker Artist point every several years 😁
What fabulous scenery. You are so lucky to live in such a place.
24:00 We got , here on Vancouver Island, one really old formation, 420mya, called Nitnat tuff, but that's not a limestone, but volcanic ash , but similar age.
Another masterpiece with an All Star 🌟 🌟 🌟 cast
Doesn't get any better than this.
Absolutely fabulous. Liz is a real trooper.

@@darrelscowan1537 Thank you for the clarification, Darrel.
That was long but interesting, ALL four of you look like young folks out on a Sunday walk, good job. thank you stay safe
What a treat for the Bank Holiday Weekend over here in Wales.
Digested in two helpings.
Always with the new questions.
I love it.
Thank you.
Great review.😍
Thanks Nick, Gary, and Darrell. What an amazing area full of wonders. Looked like a bluebird day.
Yeah, that! I so want to see someone do an animation of how these little blobs of rock from all over the globe got together in the PNW, including all the subduction from both directions, strike slip faults and intrusions. Would be so much fun, especially if slow. 😁🤓
Thanks Nick, Gary, Darrel and Liz for taking us along for this fun hike!
Try Christopher Scotese's channel. He creates animations (Nick has recommended him in the past).
Sadly, his site goes too fast and doesn't seem to include a lot of terranes. Hopefully one day, but saw some pretty good ones on some previous Nick vids. Just a matter of time.....🙂

Thanks Nick ,way over my head but I need to put this place on my bucket list
