United States
Registrace 15. 02. 2012
Mount Rainier is a patchwork of vistas: deep green forests, tumbling rivers, flower dotted meadows, ice-blue glaciers, a snow-shrouded volcano... discover what makes Mount Rainier National Park one of our nation's crown jewels.
Geology of Mount Rainier
Mount Rainier, an icon of the Pacific Northwest, is surrounded by a dramatic landscape of volcanic ridges and glacier-carved valleys. Look closer, and this familiar landscape contains the origin story of this area. It has been covered in swamps and ancient seas, flowing lava, explosive ash, and thick sheets of ice. Mountains rose and eroded away.

Mountain Memories: Sunrise Power 1930
zhlédnutí 568Před rokem
Sunrise is well-known for its spectacular vistas and during its development, early park designers worked to ensure that these vistas would be left unimpaired. Care was taken during the construction of the road to minimize road scars and power lines were buried under the road. This footage was most likely filmed around 1930 after the road was graded in 1929 and before it was paved in 1931. Mount...

Whoever put the captions in is legendary
i saw my first one at a secluded lake in yosemite recently 😊 super cute it alerted its buddies and bolted, only got a picture of its butt escaping lol
Lately a few of these keep returning to my backyard feeders here in Tacoma. 😊
This is a great video!
I live in Atlanta. I had the opportunity to fly into Seattle a few times and seeing Rainier was eye opening for me. I, quite literally, had never seen anything like it. To hear that the Himalayas put the Rockies to shame blows my mind.
And the Indian Plate is still colliding with the Eurasian Plate, so the Himalayas have millions of years worth of growth left to go. Of course they're constantly eroding as well, but that remains impressive.
are you a computer? Rainer is not part of the rockies.....
@@spaceshipdms nope, but I'm from Atlanta. Everything taller than a hill in America is the Rockies to us.
Kachina relatives aww so cute😭
It's refreshing how rational everyone sounds in this production. Keep up the good work.
Thank you. My questions are. How quickly is the snow line moving, and how high is rain falling?
So, let it blow!! If people were stupid enough to move there,it is there problem, not ours!!
THAT'S THE CUTEST ANIMAL EVER!!!!😂😂😂😅😅😅❤❤❤❤❤ BUT NOT AS CUTE AS MY PET KITTEN WHOS BLACK AND IS CUTE AND MEOW THE CUTEST AND IS NAMED MAX MY KITTEN'S MEOWS ARE MUCH CUTER THEN THAT PIKAS EEPS.

I wonder just how much sensitive hearing these lil' adorable guys have.
And to think these are the most genetically similar living beings to passenger pigeons.

A mighty battle roar indeed!
To protect the absolute beautiful Nature has to be the most important Tasks, worldwide!!! It is also important to reduce the overpopulation. We have a small planet and all value Nature places are shrink worldwide! It is so tragic to see that the world is so badly treatet through the human.

Best subtitles.
Hearing the cars in the background though. ☹ I see they get habituated to it and live with it, but it's still sad.
I can’t believe these guys aren’t more popular.
i wanna put it in my pocket and carry it around with me
Eee! ᴱᵉᵉˀ Eee! ᴱᵉᵉˀ Eee! ᴱᵉᵉᵎ Eee! ᴱᵉᵉᵎ

aww that pika-pika is cute!
How do I book todo the wonderland loop?
Majestic. Look at that form.
Delightful
People might like to see photos of when there are unusual looking clouds around the summit. These clouds form because the weather way up there is so different from what's way below. Some of the clouds look like enormous flying saucers.
Hi
Fluffy little potato
"Glaciers constrained [subsequent] lava flows to the tops of ridgelines." I had never appreciated that dynamic before. Thank you.
Cool thanks mate. Saved
It's crazy to think that when I was growing up just in the 90's we learned that Mt Rainier is an "extinct" volcano. But now that dialogue has drastically changed. Now we have lahar sirens in the Puyallup River valley. It's quite humbling that in a geological timeline Mt Rainier has been very active.
I was in school in the 90’s too, and I have know idea where you heard “extinct”, that’s total BS. No way that’s what was taught.
Mt Rainier “Extinct” that was never taught in school. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
