Very much unlike 80% of the blather we're bombarded with, THIS is what You Tube was made for. Thanks for taking the colder aspect on this hike (as opposed to me watching from bed w/a mug o tea in hand down east considerably from NH) Awesome going man ! Geological facts especially. Where to next ? Looking forward to it. And yes, even at my age I find talking through burbs still hilarious. Keep the footage coming ! ☮ Crampons for the steeper stuff please
Couple of other outstanding volcanic features in NH are the Ossipee Range south of the White Mtns., which is the ring dyke remnant of a blown stratovolcano, and Cape Horn just south of Groveton, which is a remnant dyke that intruded a caldera edge. Most of these volcanic features occurred during the break up of Pangea and the opening of the Atlantic Ocean about 200 million years ago. Similar features are found in West Africa. An amazing recent book goes through the extraordinary geology of the White Mountains: The Geology of New Hampshire's White Mountains by Dykstra Eusten and others.
I thought this was going to be about the Ossipee Range, too, but now there’s more territory for me to explore! Glacial erratics are pretty common throughout the area, but NH has the largest one (arguably) In North America. The Madison Boulder
@@scottamu7816 I've never gone to the Madison Boulder, but have seen the roadside sign for it. Down in Lyndeborough, NH there are kettle holes you can hike too that are pretty neat to see. Cape Horn, if you go, is a trail less peak, but you can get to it off Lost Nation Road. It's state land too, so open to the public.
I went on Google maps on the topographic setting and looked at Mt Chocorua in New Hampshire, and then compared it to Mt Saint Helen. I was surprised to see how similar they look. If I were a geologist, I would have to really look into the comparisons. My layman's theory is that what happened to Mt Saint Helen is the same thing that created the geological structure of the Chocorua ridge.
Did you happen to come across the Indian Chief rock next to impressive waterfall? How about the Viking ruins too... oh, When driving south on rte 49, few minutes after heading out of WVNH, look up when going round a bend curved to left, you can see the old volcanic flow... it’s pretty cool, and there’s a pull off on right with a trail to the mad river with a hidden picnic table. The underground caves are amazing too, but don’t go searching unless you’re an experienced spelunker and with a group etc... BTW... excellent video 👍
It's very cool for you to share this with us. I too get an important boost from being out in the woods, exploring. I'm about 6 hours away from this, and thanks to your video, i might just have to see it for myself. Thank you!
Very cool! I grew up in Deerfield and used to hike up there every weekend for a span. That place is like home to me. I would hike it at night sometimes without any navigation tools. Going up there on a 4th o July weekend is magical, fireworks everywhere.
As an amateur geologist, you describe this well. Thanks for taking us on your adventure. A high school classmate used to be a ranger stationed at the fire tower on South Mountain. You can see the Prudential Tower in Boston on a really clear day! Search out the boulder field with the house sized glacial erratics
Hi!! What a ' Terrible' Surprise for me that your channel and this video showed up in my feed !! And now checked to see what other content you post. Subbed!!!👍👍😁🙋🏻♀️ Native Granitehead and MainerinExile living in Iowa. I sure enjoyed sharing this informative, and Scenic trek with you!! Sure miss adventuring N.H./ Maine! Thanks so much!! 🎄💚🎉
Love it! I work here during the summers. Some of those sticks and logs on the side of the trail were moved off of the trail by me. Love learning the history of my favorite NH state park! Also, it's funny what you say about it being like a radioactive exclusion zone. I feel like all of southern NH and northern MA winter hiking feels like chernobyl. It's such a cool feeling to be out there when it's quiet and overcast.
That pond is not frozen over. You can see the water clearly between thin sheets of ice. Never go on the ice even in January and February because you don't know if there are natural springs warming areas of it under the snow. A clearing like Round Pond can look like a field when it's covered in snow. Anyway, great video! Thank you for taking us all along!
I’ve already been across three ponds a little further north and two coves on Winnepesaukee. As well as riding my bike down a few bogs. People get themselves in trouble when they try to use a Calendar to decide whether or not it’s safe to go on the water, it depends on the weather
@JasonVeisberg how thick is the ice? Friends of mine and their dog in Oxford County Maine were crossing over the snow-covered pond near their home like they had done for years on end without any trouble because during that time of year, It's Always thick with ice. All three went through the ice and her husband died, she came out of the ice unconscious and almost died, and the dog lived. You can continue going on the ice. No one can stop you. Not even a calendar.
7:30 (: 😂 I study rocks and boulders Glad I found you. The shot where you could see the fire tower, fantastic. I loved the rounded smooth, onion peeling, granite bedrock. How awesome.
I see no evidence for a volcano. What I see appears exactly as a mini planet impact would look if the guts spilled out and the mantle stuck in a general circle, indicating a perpendicular impact. The thickest area of build up would be at the edge of the circle where the mantle wall would build up most. Your LiDAR image reveals the obvious plop from above like an egg splattered. The rounded smooth peeling granite was all delivered at once and therefore the entire mountain should mostly be solid granite and uninterrupted. Meaning the rock exhibits continuity of flow. There should be no layering as expected from repeat flows of a volcano. Drilling deep core samples everywhere on the mountain and within the circle should reveal a distinct transition under all of the planetary material to actual bedrock. 0:07 Visually it appears quite obvious to me it was one event that flowed all of that rock and that it fell from above. Did you notice any downhill flow of rock? Great video Subscribed
@@doctorofartGranite is an intrusive igneous rock. It does not flow out of a volcano. It is formed deep underground and cools slowly creating a large crystalline structure within the rock's matrix. Extrusive igneous rocks like basalt and rhyolite are associated with volcanic eruptions at the surface and cool quickly and so have much smaller crystalline structures.
I live in Raymond, just to the south of Pawtuckaway. Lmk if you are ever looking for people to hike with. I love getting out in the winter time. Awesome video, yeah lots of interesting rocks and terrain there. Nice views from the peaks.
Yeah I think Ossipees also exist due to the same geological process. Haven’t been there yet but I should go at some point. Pawtuckaway was so much fun! Lovely place to live, enjoy.
Looking at google maps with terrain selected, most the features of this place as well as NH in general show streamlining from a massive flood traveling from northwest to southeast.
This appears to be an intrusive, granitic, plutonic emplacement that has eroded for at least tens of millions of years. Looking at the New Hampshire geology suggests that this is part of a greater suture zone that now includes the White and Green mountains, from multiple continental impacts. Really cool to see the video verification!
There are lots of other interesting sites in Pawtuckaway. Many of them are easy to miss but they´re worth searching for. Your trek brought you very close to the boulder fields, a favorite of rock climbers, devils den, which is more of a hollow on the side of the mountian, and the ¨balancing boulder¨, which is my favorite. Be on the lookout for timber rattlesnakes. They are extremely rare, but the whole of the park is within their summer ´range´. They are almost all black in coloration and are a protected species in this state.
Nice, I've been watching the meteor showers at night haha. "Malfunction" dont forget the vitamin d3 supplements. The ones sourced from lichen are my favorites during this time of year. Keep exploring! I'm in Maine so I know the feeling
Nice hike. I love starting at boulder pond and biking it over middle and back over north. I like to stay away from the main camp area and see fewer people.
Seen this for over 30 yrs in a book I have with old satellite images, then online after that. Can "see it" from Greenland looking across the bay towards the west.
I’ve been going to Round Pond for years to fish and swim, one of my favorite spots around. I’d be careful in the winter though because I found an open spot when the rest of the ice was very thick, indicating that there might be a spring in there preventing the ice from forming. There could possibly be other areas where the ice isn’t safe.
10 to 1 bet that there is nothing wrong with you. In fact, I would win any bet if I put money on your curiosity and perseverance towards knowing stuff!!
I was told that wherever you find large quantities of granite, there were volcanoes 🌋. When you find a ring, bingo! Of course, the granite in NE was scraped and moved around by glaciers later.
Nice choice of subject! The Ossipee Mountains are popularly known as the “most perfect” ring dyke in the world. Obviously this is a subjective evaluation but still very interesting geology.
Once I found myself on top of Mt. Whittier looking south and was in awe of the perfect bowl these mountains form. Mt Shaw, Black Snout and an outcrop which I forget the name of can be accessed off Rt. 171 that runs east/west between the Ossipees and Lake Winni. Gorgeous place. Castle in the Clouds also located here.
The Ossipee Mountains are the remains of a 125 million year-old volcanic ring dike,[1] the remnant of a Cretaceous stratovolcano of the later White Mountain igneous province. The complex is circular in plain view and has a diameter of 14 km.[2] The ring-dike complex is easily identified on satellite images, with its southeast edge located about 5 miles (8 km) northwest of the town center NH
A little NH mountain trivia. The highest peak in the Ossipee range is Mt Shaw with an elevation of 2,990 ft. It is estimated that the original height of the Ossipee's, before the last ice age, was approximately 11,000 feet high. Similar to the west coast strato volcanoes like Mt Hood. How cool is that?
Pawtuckaway is in southeast NH. It's about half an hour from the ocean. The ocean keeps the coast pretty warm during the winters, so while the mountains up north had 3 feet of snow by late November, it's still barren down here in the southeast.
So far I've seen granite plutons and glacial erratics- no lava. Am I missing something? Do the plutons count? I guess they are magma extrusions but volcanic? I dunno.
150 million years of erosion.... you are seeing bedrock now, the old bones of the intrusion.... likely not of the nature we saw in say Mt St Helens..... this was mass pushing up and not exploding.
@@robadair so, one big igneous intrusion, folded upward, cooled, and ground down by time and glaciers.... thus crystal pockets....no crystal pockets in lava.
You skipped Rocky Ridge, so you didn't do the whole circle. You can bushwhack up Rocky Ridge and there is one nice view spot up there as well as there being some herd paths.
Here's my notes, from Nov 2019: This place is bonkers. Woronoco and Split Rock were pretty reasonable. Mostly tight, up and down, low speed tech. The hardest part was trying to follow the trails through the dense leaves. Shaw is a brutal climb. The lower piece of South Ridge I hit was a loose, very steep switchback. Round Pond Road & Round Pond were surprisingly enjoyable for access paths.
That is a great hike I wish more people in Manchester, NH and the surrounding area knew about. There are two interesting old graveyards in it from families that lived inside the rim and a WW2 plane crash site with a marker as well. There are some decent mountain biking trails inside the rim too.
Could this be a possible impact crater? From a remenant about 13,000 years ago that perhaps have melted the ice and caused major extinction level flooding?,
If you are into geology, this is not a terrible idea. That you threw in there might be a three eyed, radioactive dog caused us to wonder if your not Travis from Diamond City Radio, Boston (Fallout 4)😂.

New Hampshire was incredibly volcanic at one time with volcanoes that rivaled Yellowstone from end to end
Same with Maine. Maine had one (if not THE) of the biggest supervolcanoes ever on the planet. It's weird to think about.
There’s volcanic rock in the Blue Ridge Mountains in PA too.
At 8:45 the rock looks like a huge mountain lion’s head.
Are there any hot springs in the area?
Fascinating! Look for the PDF White Mountain Magma Series by Nelson Eby. That paper has several informative pages and diagrams about the location.

Pretty cool. I live next door in Maine, do a lot of hiking and exploring and have never heard of the place.
How long does it take to walk that loop?
3:23 “radioactive exclusion zone with a 3 eyed dog”. That’s quite an imagination.. Did someone eat a gummy before this hike?

There's another one of those called the Sandwich Dome north of Meredith and Center Harbor. I think it is in Ossipee/Sandwich.
This really looks like a meteor impact crater site. What is diameter?
I came to say the same thing. Looks more like an ancient impact crater than a volcano.
Look near Montreal. Mt St Hilaire and Mt Yamaska stand out as nice circles too.
There is also an extinct volcano in Vermont.
Pawtuckaway is a great little park. Also please include more loud burp warnings 😂😂
would love to know the geology of how this place formed.
good stuff im here in maine a lot of weird shit to explore here as well

Looks more like an impact crator to me.
is that what they call the Ossipee caldera ?
The Ossipee formation is about 1 hour north
Or possibly an asteroid crater ?

It’s a ancient meteor strike if you look up that sight with all the strikes there’s one in nh and this could be it
There is a strange raised ring north of Isle Royal under water in lake Superior.
not a ring dike though....something else
Hi! I like your video. Thanks for sharing +1 Sub

Pretty cool ha?
supposedly the ossipee range is much the same, maybe the same intrusion period? Maybe all the whites?
