Heavy breathing for Nick is gasping and wheezing (and rest stops) for me. And my knees would never allow me to make this hike without my walking stick. Gorgeous country! And the ridge the Zentners are walking on is razor-sharp - how did that come about?
What a wonderful view of that beautiful valley. That's where I stayed at the KOA the first few days I was in WA when Randy and I had some things to do. Don't worry about your huffing and puffing. It's only about 1/3 of what I was doing to get to Lion Rock! :)
Thank you Liz for allowing us to come along on your personal hike. It's your personal time and time with your husband so this is very generous and so appreciated.
Thank you Nick and Liz! It's finally spring and so beautiful. The moraines are new information to me! Excellent to see from there. And please restate as much as you can because I don't catch it all. What an awesome day. ❤️🤟
Thanks nick. Perfect timing. I’m going to be there for Godson’s wedding in June. I remember the tuff hunt but didn’t realize it was here. Hopefully, me and some of the party will be able to hike it.
Thank you for sharing the beauty of our Northwest Mountain trails and greenery - I can't hike like that anymore and it was so beautiful along the trail you hiked and I miss being able to go along that kind of a hike and it was so wonderful to hike along with you in this way. I miss so much about my home state - I live in Ohio now so watching your video's makes me feel at home and continue to learn about my home state as well.
Beautiful! Oh my that trail looks narrow! and the sides are steep going down! I was hoping you would tell us about the big Granite rock formations sticking up there in the video before you and Liz started back down the mountain. Lots of heavy breathing today Nick! I am sure it was a work out! Thank you again! So close I could almost smell the air!
And another great geohike! Hope the fam enjoyed it too! Funny thing--I was looking at some vids on East Coast geology, and seems they had some crazy Eocene going on, too! Maybe that slab break had all sorts of odd continental reactions! Thanks again, Zentner family!
Thank Liz for putting up with the rest of us on the hike. I am really getting to understand geology a lot better. I think the maps and the hikes help to see what you are talking about. Be well .
I love your work Nick. It motivated me to check out the geology of the mountains i will visit during my vacation in a few weeks in the European Alps. I discovered, that we got an interesting spot between Mountains with different stories behind them. (At the border of Flyschzone and Northern Limestone Alps)
We loved this one Nick. It’s so beautiful there!! I had to put my hands over my eyes on the narrow part though. It gives me the heebee jeebees. Thanks to Liz for sharing you with us.😊
We have a place up the Chumstick a few miles and the geology has always intrigued me. Thank you for doing these, really like learning about the area and knowing how varied and rich the geology is. Viva Baja, right:-)
Lovely hike, Nick - thanks! Would you please give a quick close-up of the flowers so this would-be botanist can work on an ID? Thanks. I realize flowers aren't what this is about.
Beautiful view of Leavenworth,WA .Great elevation here professor. Kinda knocks the wind out of you, and me too if I was really there. I'm surprised you let us see that you lost your footing. I would have edited it out of the video! Don't worry, the walk down is much easier!
Some of your pirouettes at around 14.42 almost had me suffering from motion sickness. thanks for the video and the “trip”. Wondered when it would happen
What a ridiculously beautiful surrounding for a town. Leavenworth (perhaps more than any other town in America) looks like it could be in the Alps of Europe. It's pricey, and the winters are long and cold, but damn, just in terms of picturesque looks, it's off the charts.
Have you been along Rattlesnake Creek near Nile, WA? The canyon above the creek is amazing but I can't find anything about the caves or formations online
What a perfectly gorgeous day! Wondering if any ice rafted erratics came ro rest on Steve Porter's Icicle Creek Glacier? I wonder how up the valley the Icicle Glacier had retreated by Missoula flood times.
Some comments: Smoke at this time of year (late May) is almost entirely due to orchardists burning orchard debris. Nick is on Ski Hill. There are no moraines on Ski HIll. That is because Ski Hill faces east and south fully exposed to the sun. The ice always melts before it could get to Ski Hill. Across the valley on the other side of Leavenworth is Mtn Home. The most prominent glacial moraine there is dated at 90,000 years (BP). Rattlesnake Hill, behind Cascade High School is a terminal moraine dated at 19,000 years BP. There is a pile of granite boulders behind city hall and the library dated at 15,000 year BP. One interesting question is this: when the glacier covered Leavenworth (and reached as far as the bridge at Peshastin once upon a time) the glacier would have necessarily blocked the mouth of Tumwater Canyon interfering with the flow of the Wenatchee River. Did the river get dammed to any degree forcing the river to run to the north up Ski Hill drive area and then around the toe of the glacier - or did it always manage to find a route beneath the glacier?
This is great! I absolutely love learning the geology of Leavenworth and history too. Did you say those large mountain in back are 90 million years old?
Hey Nick my wife and I did that same loop yesterday. I am. It a big fan oh heights and took that open ridge line part a little slower than you did. As we hiked it, I was wondering what geology there was to learn about the area.
Sandstone there, sandstone here, sandstone every where. Amazing the complexity of the Weaver Plain 50 million years ago. Although without it, no coal here on the Green River!
11:45 I didn't know Bugles we're a Midwest thing. They were one of those snacks my grandpa always had around. Aside from his time in the Army during the war, he lived mostly in California.
Nick thank you for returning here.....where else can you find a 90-95 million year old hitch hiker, alpine glaciers that got ticketed for speeding and illegal dumping, and a German Cemetery...all within a stones throw of each other?I'm surprised that there are not a half dozen " field extension offices " for some university geology departments in Leavenworth.
Random CZcams recommendation turns out to be a place I once visited, years ago. First run of the year down the Icicle towards the Wenatchee, my that water was cold.
I wonder how much energy it took to melt the ice sheets ie how much extra energy came to the world and what was it source and what is the annual energy from the sun?
does watching Nick burn any calories, if so, I burned a lot! Who said, "no pain no gain", I had no pain but gained lots of knowledge! thank you ALL stay safe
Nick, could you do a video, maybe with Jerome, on how moraines form? Does the debris just fall out the face of the glacier or does it get plowed into a pile much like a bulldozer would do? Can you tell the height of the glacier from the height of the moraine? Beautiful spot! Thanks!
im betting there would have been periotic floods just as they have had recently in Canada with the defrosting even just one week ago in the northern territories
😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 you are JUST miles from me. I can't wait to see what you've found there! Page? That was my Great Grandma's last name. I'm dying to know if you might end up at Glacier Peak this season....
Beautiful hike! I have to do that someday. Why can't they track any smoke immediately from satellites/drones and then immediately respond? Ok, that's kind of rhetorical but it seems like we could be capable? Fire season uff dah!
Do you get your gas for Free? You sure been traveling alot lately. You need a motorcycle like Itchy Boots! Of course you could not carry samples back or all the maps you bring along! Ha Ha Great views from up here, how high up were you? Great stuff!
Be careful on those trails pounded flat and smooth by the mountain bikes - my wife slipped and fell, breaking her shoulder, on a trail just like that one on the back of Mary's Peak.
Thank you Liz for allowing Nick to bring us along. Thanks Nick, for sharing out beautiful state and its wonderful geology.
Yes! Kudos to Liz, too! :)
Mom -- he's fine, he's not going to fall off, the camera makes the edge look closer than it really is.
Mom go away
Heavy breathing for Nick is gasping and wheezing (and rest stops) for me. And my knees would never allow me to make this hike without my walking stick. Gorgeous country! And the ridge the Zentners are walking on is razor-sharp - how did that come about?
ive never been to leavenworth and i knew it was nice but i never knew it was this pretty
Hey hteees back. Love this walk on the chumstick and reminder of Erin and Jerome. cool. Thanks Nick
Thank you! Wonderful as always!
What a wonderful view of that beautiful valley. That's where I stayed at the KOA the first few days I was in WA when Randy and I had some things to do. Don't worry about your huffing and puffing. It's only about 1/3 of what I was doing to get to Lion Rock! :)

I watched your trek... I have walking issues and felt transported from my home to that ridge... loved it...
It's cool to think about, one group is researching how this area formed, and the other group is researching how it's being eroded.
You deserve one of those good Leavenworth beers when you get to the bottom!
Thanks nick. Perfect timing. I’m going to be there for Godson’s wedding in June. I remember the tuff hunt but didn’t realize it was here. Hopefully, me and some of the party will be able to hike it.
Some awesome views of one of my favorite places to play. I've often wondered about the geology of Leavenworth area. Thanks for the geological context!
Thank you for sharing the beauty of our Northwest Mountain trails and greenery - I can't hike like that anymore and it was so beautiful along the trail you hiked and I miss being able to go along that kind of a hike and it was so wonderful to hike along with you in this way. I miss so much about my home state - I live in Ohio now so watching your video's makes me feel at home and continue to learn about my home state as well.
Wonderful. So great to really see what you were talking about in the crazy Eocene.
Very calming end too. Gorgeous landscape.
Beautiful! Oh my that trail looks narrow! and the sides are steep going down! I was hoping you would tell us about the big Granite rock formations sticking up there in the video before you and Liz started back down the mountain. Lots of heavy breathing today Nick! I am sure it was a work out! Thank you again! So close I could almost smell the air!
Beautiful day for a hike. Thanks.
Thank you for taking us along on your hikes Nick. I sure miss the picturesque scenery of the Evergreen State.
And another great geohike! Hope the fam enjoyed it too! Funny thing--I was looking at some vids on East Coast geology, and seems they had some crazy Eocene going on, too! Maybe that slab break had all sorts of odd continental reactions!
Thanks again, Zentner family!
Thank Liz for putting up with the rest of us on the hike.
I am really getting to understand geology a lot better.
I think the maps and the hikes help to see what you are talking about.
Be well .
Beautiful day, spectacular hike! Thanks for taking us along!
The beauty obviously is breathtaking. Thank you professor Nick!

Another great walk, Nick. Thanks.
We loved this one Nick. It’s so beautiful there!! I had to put my hands over my eyes on the narrow part though. It gives me the heebee jeebees. Thanks to Liz for sharing you with us.😊
Very nice scenery with a new insight on the hidden fault line and different rock types on either side.
What a beautiful area. Thanks for sharing.
I highly recommend hiking up Icicle Creek up to Nada and Snow Lakes basin. A gorgeous hike, and strenuous.
What a gorgeous view to start this vid. You’re making me jealous with the views on your hikes.
Plus PBnJ and Bugles? Savage!
Beautiful walk and great information as always!
My life is enriched by your work, so keep breathing Nick! As loudly as you want
We have a place up the Chumstick a few miles and the geology has always intrigued me. Thank you for doing these, really like learning about the area and knowing how varied and rich the geology is. Viva Baja, right:-)
makes me feel like I'm right behind you on that trail....thank you for bringing me along....
You’ve shown some spectacular looking sites but WOW!
It's deja vu all over again. I've never hiked in the Leavenworth area, but so many details of this trail are so familiar!
Such pretty country. Thank you.
Wow---- again and again, nick!! And-- luz with you! thank you, wonder, yet again 🤗🤗🤗🥰...
Lovely hike, Nick - thanks! Would you please give a quick close-up of the flowers so this would-be botanist can work on an ID? Thanks. I realize flowers aren't what this is about.
Beautiful hike hope you didn’t hurt yourself in the fall. Thank you Professor and Liz
Thank you Professor Zentner
Thank you for beauty and education. Happy trails.
Wow! What beautiful country!
I'm regularly on those trails on my mountain bike (surprised you didn't see any). Fun to hear your thoughts on the area.
Wonderful video, I know it took a lot of efforted to make this one. Thanks Nick for takin me along.
Thank You Nick.
Beautiful view of Leavenworth,WA .Great elevation here professor. Kinda knocks the wind out of you, and me too if I was
really there. I'm surprised you let us see that you lost your footing. I would have edited it out of the video! Don't worry, the
walk down is much easier!
Off topic, but excellent camera work Nick, I cannot help but feel that biking this trail would feel like the been knees. 10/10😀
Some of your pirouettes at around 14.42 almost had me suffering from motion sickness. thanks for the video and the “trip”. Wondered when it would happen
Lovely view of thus valley!
DOWN goes Zentner! DOWN goes Zentner! At least it wasn't all the way down, we'd miss you quite a bit
Your Cosell game is strong!
Watch those knees damn it.
What a ridiculously beautiful surrounding for a town. Leavenworth (perhaps more than any other town in America) looks like it could be in the Alps of Europe. It's pricey, and the winters are long and cold, but damn, just in terms of picturesque looks, it's off the charts.
Last winter I Eocene all your live streams.
beautiful view!
This hike is called Ski Hill Loop. It is about 5.5 miles with about 1200 feet of elevation gain. There are also easier loops below this one.
I did the Olympics Lake Constance trail out of Dosewallops back in the 90s, wow what a scramble it was.
Have you been along Rattlesnake Creek near Nile, WA? The canyon above the creek is amazing but I can't find anything about the caves or formations online

As we hiked it, I was wondering what geology there was to learn about the area.
The scenery WOW
thanx nick; what is the anatomy of the ridge your trail ison? the big roundish rock at 13:30 does not look like sandstone!
Sandstone there, sandstone here, sandstone every where. Amazing the complexity of the Weaver Plain 50 million years ago. Although without it, no coal here on the Green River!
Liz picks the most scenic trails! Beautiful country.
It's beginning to look so familiar!
11:45 I didn't know Bugles we're a Midwest thing. They were one of those snacks my grandpa always had around. Aside from his time in the Army during the war, he lived mostly in California.
What trail is that? That hike looks wonderful.
Thank you!

Bounced up like a boss,though.

Hey. I can see my house below the orchard! Would have been great to meet you!
Nick, could you do a video, maybe with Jerome, on how moraines form? Does the debris just fall out the face of the glacier or does it get plowed into a pile much like a bulldozer would do? Can you tell the height of the glacier from the height of the moraine? Beautiful spot! Thanks!
I get dizzy climbing on a kitchen chair but those views are awesome and would be worth the dizziness :D
I was @ Blewett (Culver Gulch) yesterday, way up!
It was a very nice day, we deserve them occasionally.
:)
im betting there would have been periotic floods just as they have had recently in Canada with the defrosting even just one week ago in the northern territories
😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 you are JUST miles from me. I can't wait to see what you've found there!
Page? That was my Great Grandma's last name.
I'm dying to know if you might end up at Glacier Peak this season....
Beautiful hike! I have to do that someday. Why can't they track any smoke immediately from satellites/drones and then immediately respond? Ok, that's kind of rhetorical but it seems like we could be capable? Fire season uff dah!
I live in Florida and those views are ridiculous. Thanks Nick.
At 15:00, I suddenly got dizzy. That path was not a path! The view was gorgeous though.
Would be an exciting sledding hill.
If you didn't do the "Stormtrooper on speeder bike into the side of a tree on Endor".
Were you looking for morels while you're out there? Prime season.
BEHIND EVERY GOOD WOMAN IS A WINDED PROFESSOR.
behind every winded professor is a bakery .....😇
A lake basin. Very clear.
What's a crik? Same as a creek?
I envy you....really... you've got it all.
Do you get your gas for Free? You sure been traveling alot lately. You need a motorcycle like Itchy Boots! Of course you could not carry samples back or all the maps you bring along! Ha Ha
Great views from up here, how high up were you? Great stuff!
I thought I recognised that ridge 04:00 ...
Be careful on those trails pounded flat and smooth by the mountain bikes - my wife slipped and fell, breaking her shoulder, on a trail just like that one on the back of Mary's Peak.
Nick On The Rocks16:10
I'd have been drooling as well as panting.
You're doing fine sir.
Ps--- clouds are lovely, too
Hi
🌹❤️✌🏾
Gravity's a downer.
11:47 I'm not saying Peanut Butter & Jelly is the food of the gods but It very well might be!
