Explore the striking scenery and geology of the Columbia Gorge | Oregon Field Guide

Any time spent listening to Scott Burns is time well spent!

[@joeguerra8435]

Scott Burns is the Oregon geological go-to expert. He has such passion and energy about what he knows. You always leave more educated after hearing Dr.Burns than before you started.

[@jbmason000]

By far the best geopolitical tour I have ever seen. There are much deeper but none more encompassing of our wonderful gem. Inspire your self and follow this tour in your car and listen to each segment as you arrive at each place.

I'm headed to the Gorge from Texas next month. My 2nd visit there in 3 years.

[@RC_Farm]

Dr Burns is the Best. His stories ROCK!

[@stephenolson532]

This was the best explanation of the Columbia River gorge I've ever heard. Scott Burns you are amazing

[@KingsMom831]

Scott Burns is so much fun to listen to! Love this!

[@gregstump4450]

Fascinating! I think the gorge should be a full fledged National Park, it's absolutely amazing and beautiful. On another note, perhaps those green mysterious rounds are potholes from the floods that filled in with silt and through time developed into mounds by collecting wind borne silt on the plants that grow there....

[@teressarenslow5992]

I grew up in Cascade Locks in the '60s and '70s and I never knew so much about the place as what I learned in this short video! I would love to learn more! This guy is a great teacher!

[@donkauer6744]

WOW! That was so fun, and even more educational. I've been in the Portland area my whole life of 61 years. I've traveled the Gorge so many times. I watch Nick Zentner a lot. But this presentation with Scott Burns brought a whole new interest for me. I really like Scott's way of explaining the details in laymans terms. Bringing in the that plywood with sand visual aid was above and beyond. That literally made me sit back in my chair and say "Oh wow!".

[@californiahiker9616]

This is the first time I’m watching Scott. He reminds me a lot of Nick. We often watched Nick during the pandemic.

[@loxleybattle2591]

Awesome! Thanks for educating us ❤

[@jamesdriscoll_tmp1515]

It's nice to see some Oregon geology, because we got a bunch of it.

[@martinginsburg7222]

Please more of these great vids. Oregon Rocks!

[@YeahRightMCD]

Big geology energy. This guy is great!

[@AlluneedisB00TZ]

That was great! Educational, entertaining, and beautiful! Thank you for sharing. 🙂

[@vf12497439]

As you follow interstate 84 up the gorge east you will see dozens of wind turbines in different areas.... so beautiful. They should build a couple thousand more along the gorge.

[@mray8519]

Fascinating to hear how these remarkable geological formations occurred. Thank you both for sharing.

[@dancooper8551]

Absolutely love this video!

[@davec9244]

Good job, thank you Professor Scot Burns. Was hopping to attend your talk in Hillsboro in Feb. but it is sold out, next for sure stay safe!

[@Ferda1964]

Excellent show. Thank you.

[@ads9765]

Next time I visit that area, I want Scott at every point of interest to explain things

[@AJ67901]

Great stuff, Thanks!

[@deftuncut]

Geology rocks!

[@MojoMan007]

Did he check for fairies in the green spots?

[@budm2528]

THIS!!! This is the type of story that should dominate daily news. Stories of good from good people. Positive stories and events.

[@Randy58-zn4ez]

Great explanation of how the landscape came to be. I wonder what people who believe in the Bible think because their Bible says that the earth is 6 thousand years old and that the earth was created in six days with god resting on the 7th day in Genesis chapters 1 and 2?

[@martinginsburg7222]

You answered your question because they don't "think" they just "believe" and have "faith" as they drop some more $ in the tithing plate. I want to start my own tithing plate "business" too!

[@johndunkelburg9495]

To me, the Gorge doesn’t end until you reach the Wallula Gap east of Walla Walla and south of Pasco.

[@johndunkelburg9495]

West of Walla Walla; the edit function didn’t work for some reason.

[@matthewbolton4289]

those piles could be remnants of the floods that caused ripples that have eroded over time

[@living4adrenaline]

I bet that flood was terrifying
