I was 8 (born in 67)when my dad took us on a road trip from Wenatchee up and thru those mountains to the west side of the state. I was gob smacked!! It was almost unreal how majestic and intimidating those mountains were in my young eyes. Will never forget that trip.

Have been to mountain ranges around the world. But nothing is better than the majestic Cascades in my home state of Washington. Thanks guys! Great view today👍

It was great hearing Myrl's name. I helped him drill some of those holes back in the 80's. Great times in the WWU geology department. Still in touch with Ned, I'll send him this video. Thxs!

Fun fact: Okanoganite, a rare-earth containing borofluorosilicate, occurs in one of the phases of the Golden Horn Batholith. It was named after Okanogan County.

Hi Nick and Gary, another area to explore and interpret would be, between Mt Shucksan and Baker. The signage up at Artist point, shows where Fijian mountains migrated to that area. We were pretty blown away by this, and would appreciate your expert interpretation! Many thanks, Julie and family

Minnesotan here. I’m embarrassed to say I am very unfamiliar with the Cascades or the Scablands. Thank you for bringing your viewers to this surplus of beauty and adding the geology talk. Love Gary’s personality. I wouldn’t have liked the road going in, either. Wow! Is this a geology video or tourism video? Haha ❤

Just another Friday morning to watch a fabulous video from Nick and Gary. Absolutely stunning mountain views and the geology talk is not too bad either. Hey Nick I see that Dr. Rob Thomas now has his own KZbin channel called "Montana Geology with The Rock Doctor". So glad to see another channel focusing on geology with another long time geologist. Looks promising so far with only his first few videos. I remember Rob from the Rocky Mountains episode of the Crazy Eocene A-Z series. Hope he gets some of your viewers to subscribe to his channel. All the best to you (and Gary)!

My favorite climbing playground. I went up there with Fred Beckey and he made it up SEWS in his late 80’s. I have climbed all of those many times and a traverse of them all in a day.climbed Black peak , kangerroo , Silverstar a couple of times, skied down Silverstar. Love that place

We live in the Methow Valley and this is our backyard:) Have been up to the cirque right below Cutthroat and the other peak. Just gorgeous:) Been up Early Winter's pass and so many other amazing hikes. We also road our e bikes up Hwy 20 when it is closed to the pass...no cars...amazing. Thanks for the geology lesson. Love the idea of a long ago super volcano forming all of this and plates smashing into each other. Too bad, we didn't have a speed up of what actually happened.

@frankr22462 ай бұрын
The Cooper Mountain Batholith is almost as large as the Golden Horn. It would be interesting to study its origin as a possible supervolcano, as well. Tephra from its overlying volcano would be further south, and thus also possible candidates for the Chumstick tuffs.

There is a nice tuff deposit just North of Rob's mine at Liberty. It's on a claim that is (was) owned by Ed Levec. He exposed it 20 yrs ago making a 30 ft deep cut to expose ancient stream bed. I've wondered where the tuff comes from; long-gone super volcano sounds plausible. Thanks for an exceptional episode.

Speaking of tephra layers in the Chumstick (area); last year I was riding my motorcycle on Chikamin Road (62100), near Minnow Ridge in the Chiwawa River drainage. I noticed deep tephra layers in the cut bank of the road. I assumed that tephra came from a Glacier Peak eruption. Yes/no/maybe?

What an awesome beautiful day you had. I always gain appreciation for living in Western Washington by Nick's gestures of how very wonderful our natural world we have here on the west side of the Cascades. Indeed, one of the best places on our planet. I am liking how your observations are tying-in to the 'Baha series'! Kind regards from Stanwood!

A diagram would be helpful - one showing the geometry of the "sills" and their vertical feeder conduits envisioned for the Golden Horn batholith, now tilted. Was it a cumulate, layered intrusion like at Stillwater mine or Isle of Rum or Laramie Range? Evidence for fractionating melts? Any wallrock xenoliths? How deep was it emplaced - middle crust (15-20 km) or deeper? How do geometries of the two neighboring intrusions - Golden Horn and Black Peak - differ?

It might get a bit confusing to include the cascade volcano story with the batholith story other than to say "before there were cascade volcanos, there were these two enormous bodies of magma called batholiths..." Especially when you consider Oligocene volcanos in Washington (are there Oligocene volcanos north of Snoqualmie Pass?) probably got pushed around by CW rotation relative to the later Quaternary volcanos like Glacier and Baker. The North Cascades are confusing enough as it is...

@Steviepinhead2 ай бұрын
My understanding is that the higher Cascades Peaks would have been projecting above the ice, but only as rock islands or nunataks. Some of the surrounding ice would have been the Cordilleran ice sheet, but the much more extensive mountain glaciers would have also been involved.
