  • Journey with Nick Zentner high above the city of Wenatchee, Washington, where a group of spires made of a unique type of 44-million-year-old rock tell the story of extreme volcanic activity and ancient vents of magma older than the Cascade volcanoes.

    Thank you PBS for sponsering Nick to help educate us all. In my mind PBS represents the pinnicle of educational potential that our global communications network has provided.

    It's nice to see some new "Nick on the Rocks"! Still love to watch the older ones from Oregon's PBS channel.

    thanks nick - as a multi decade resident and hiker it's fascinating to learn more about the geological history.

      Is a "lava" dome, the part of an intrusive magma body that reached the surface to form a dome like structure?? The "spires" formed underground and rhyolitic in composition. Therefore, they would not be part of the welded rhyolitic tuff.

    Beautiful. We live near the edge of the Malaga slide, and I get to see this beautiful vista from my bedroom window every day! Nick, you should do a video on the Malaga slide and all the lakes up here and the seeps along the Malaga Alcoa highway. I’ve looked for info on how that all works and haven’t found a lot.

    Thank you for making these videos. Have you been to Chelan Falls? If you take the old Chelan Butte road to Chelan Falls there are all kinds of similar things to this. Would you be willing to do a video on it. The views going to Chelan Falls are absolutely beautiful and some of the rock formations are so cool. My husband and I have taken a few drives out there the last 3-4 days because it is breathtaking

    I Love the drone and graphics work. Thank You. I'd love to see graphics, for the West side, from twenty thousand years ago, to now, including the freshwater lake, draining out to Ocean Shores.

    Fantastic!! I've enjoyed hiking there and this is a revelation. The photography is beautiful; nothing compares to spring in the foothills.

    Fun! But it would be nice to see citations to the research papers down in the More...

    Really like these, but let's say that Tom Foster wasn't the one directing it 🤭
