I don't think I've ever seen anything quite so beautiful as those wild horses running with you guys. That was amazing.

[@BentNotBroken1970]

The shot of those wild horses was amazing. To me they represent so much of what life in the West is all about. Happy Mothers Day, and may you continue to enjoy the freedom and wildness so many of us search for.

[@EFRT]

Thank you. Yes we were so fortunate to have that experience with the wild horses. We LOVE the Wild West!!

[@freedomlopez6563]

Well said! Thank you

Watching your older videos for the 2nd time. Love your content. When I’m having a bad day or just feeling down, the gorgeous scenery and your kind and warm demeanor really lift my spirits. Thank you!

[@roberthorn2685]

Why Epic Family Road trip doesn't have over a million subs just floors me. Just beautiful content mixed with an amazing family. To see a family this close in today's world is both refreshing and an inspiration. I sit here living vicariously though every mile you guys travel. Be safe 🙏

The pillars look just like the giant’s causeway in Ireland, absolutely beautiful.

[@jameswalsh6678]

I'm from Belfast. My thoughts exactly. I didn't know Finn McCool made it all the way to Utah☘️😂😂

[@cbrown17982010]

Those hexagonal columns are basalt columns, and are formed due to how they cool which is rapid compared to the surrounding rocks and surface area causing them to cool in the shape you see before you 14:08. Awesome videos guys!🤙

[@evilcam]

Indeed, you got it. Those are basalt intrusions, which are pretty well documented on the North Rim, where mafic magma broke through the sedimentary rock layers, and deposited like a lava lake or lave stream. The columnar thing is usually associated with slower cooling, as it typically appears when the basalt is buried, as surface, fast cooling basalt looks like the Hawaiian volcano deposits, and lack the column structure. It's sort of like a goldilocks scenario, where if the lava/magma is deep enough (and thus cools slowly enough) h, it also does not show columns, but as a gabbro shows all the crystallized minerals in large aphenetic chunks, while the fast cooling surface lava has no large crystal chunks as it cools faster than large crystals can form. The columns show the same lack of mineral crystals, but still had to cool slower than the surface exposed lava, as that column structure thing only happens when the temp is 'just right'. We see a lot of that basalt column thing, from the Grand Canyon, to the Grand Coulee and Columbia River Basalt columns in WA and Oregon, to the Giant's Causeway in Ireland and the UK. It's all over the world, and it seems to have all been created in very similar circumstances. Lava erupts, deposits as a thick layer, something else buries it quickly and it eventually portions cools into those columns. Then, the surface material is eroded away until you can see the columns we see now. Interesting stuff.

[@yorkchris10]

Looks like black Kryptonite. I used to study metallurgical phase diagrams and how you can make certain crystals by freezing alloy at certain temperature.

[@CampingRuss]

It was great seeing the bottom of the canyon in your video as I grew up on that river Being a river running down there for about 25 years. that helicopter was taking people in and out from the river trip there’s a ranch that’s on top of the canyon. Also there is a ton of volcanoes that formed certain rapids like lava falls down the canyon if you ever get a chance do a raft trip down the river one of the best vacations you will have. Ok 👌🏼🔥🤠🔥Camping Russ out

[@amymoore9343]

The hexagonal shaped rock pillars are very similar to the ones at the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland.

The hexagons are basalt. If you drove north on highway 97 to Prince George, between Quesnel and PG on the right side of the highway there's basalt columns there too!

[@EFRT]

Cool, next time we’re up there we’ll definitely check it out. Thanks for the tip.

Ok burying Lando was excellent!😜🤘

[@nheffel2]

The rocks you were looking at in the Canyon are, Basaltic Columnar Lava. They form in lava flows of Basalt. You will see them in several places around the Western USA.

[@Jon_Ringo]

look up Giants Causeway in Ireland. Got to see it in person and its amazing!

[@mmgoodwings3981]

Beautiful!! Thanks

[@ntsms69]

14:00. Check out the 'Giants Causeway' in the North East coast of Northern Ireland. Very similar rock formation. My guess is it is solidification/cooling of 'Basalt'. We see much of this also in the North UK (in Northern England and Scotland), where there is deposits/outcrops of basalt. Great vlog.

[@meganross4274]

Your choice of music with the canyon photos is very powerful. ❤️

[@jeffreyclark7154]

The music montage with the shots of the canyon around 10 min in was amazing. Well done

[@troyboyd3100]

That is a cooling feature of lava, called "columnar jointing". As lava cools it contracts and cracks start to form. As the lava cools from the top down, the cracks extend downward through the lava flow.

Hi Guy's absolutely love your video's we live in the centre of Europe. In the Czech Republic and whilst we have many beautiful places to visit. When I watch your video's I can see that we are just playing at it in comparison. You have such stunning locations and your Camera work is Top level. All the best and keep up the good work and stay safe..

[@uweschroeder]

The columns form from hot lava that suddenly cools in a very specific manner. Usually they run up against a massive "cool" wall of some other material or they form under/in water. They are often hexagonal because that's essentially how those columns "crack", but other shapes are possible. If you've been to Devils Postpile near Mammoth, CA, that's one of the more impressive opportunities to view these kind of formations close up (you can see them from below and you can hike up on them). Cool stuff. Probably boring for a geologist but quite stunning to the rest of us.

[@EFRT]

Awesome, thanks for the info. Have a wonderful day.

[@dshim99]

That cliff of columns is like a reverse of Devil's Postpile in CA. I remember learning as a kid visiting there that when lava cools and condenses, the angles of a hexagonal shape end up being the most efficient way to separate and relieve stress... probably similar to dry lake beds?
