While Exploring a Waterfall, I Noticed something Unusual

- Following a 50 mile long spine of rock into a remote forest led me to discovering one of the most interesting waterfalls I have ever seen during a rare flood - stage.
Of course, I had to go inside of it.
And nearby, some unusual symmetrical geology in the riverbank and potential evidence of ancient human habitation. What do you think used to be here?
Had a lot of fun flying the drone here. Thanks for watching. - POV

I've been travelling for six decades and have rarely seen land-based hydrodynamics as crazy as these. Thanks
Ya really interesting. I was lucky to visit it during a rare moment of high water. Cheers
@@the_pov_channel Absolutely awesome vid! I felt like I was there too. I absolutely love waterfalls but have never been near something like this and this powerful. Really love the combination of videoing up close, you on the edge of something and then from above, etc all edited together virtually seamlessly, absolutely rivoting and mesmerising...look forward to more adventures/explorations!
Where else would they be based but land?
Wow so amazingly beautiful. I bet it felt amazing there
Beautiful waterfall...but why there's so much foam on the water?
I’m one of those 66 year olds who just loves watching your videos! Thanks for taking us with you! You are an example to all young people of what is important in this life, and as such you will excel!
I love hiking and so forth. Got food poisoning, destroyed my joints, love these videos. 65 soon!
Well said
Right there with you, I am 67 and use videos as such, as my new way of travel, hiking and…ect.
Thank you for the excellent trip.
I’m 67 and love these videos! I wish I would have done more of the things that I enjoy watching this young man do! Thankful he takes us along.
Thanks for picking up that beer bottle left by some clueless idiot.
Many years ago, I was camping with some friends & our dogs in a semi-remote area of the southern Sierras. We hiked from our camp to a little waterall to swim. One of the dogs stepped on a piece of broken glass & got a bad cut on his leg. A real bleeder. We had a helluva time getting him out of there & into a jeep to drive to the nearest small town (Murphys). We took turns holding his leg over the wound so he wouldn't bleed out & made it to a vet. He ended up being okay but it was really traumatic & left me with a lifelong fear of broken glass & a strong dislike for the people who leave it behind.
Please be careful.
"Pack it in, pack it out"!
@@TheAnarchitek FIND IT THERE PACK IT OUT TOO(TRASH ONLY)!!
@@steffybael1245 I have no respect for idiots who willingly tote cases of beer into the back country, but leave empties behind, so, "Pack it in, pack it out"!
@@steffybael1245 Think of the confusion archaeologists of 3,000 years from now will experience, trying to parse a culture that built crude rock huts, but was able to make glass, beer, and some kind of sealing cap.. Assuming the glass survives, like dinosaur bones, filled with silt, encased in a mud clod, and left alone for thousands of years.
That rock formation at @4:15 looks like a skull.
I just wanted to write that.💀 :)
wow!
Indeed it does. There are several other face images in this video.
That's what I was seeing too
I saw that
Your camera work is spectacular you take it in so many different places that we can never be. The Drone is also cleverly managed. I am 85 years old and have done lots of packing and discovering but nothing like what you do we never had Google Earth or GPS or drones or cameras that you're making such great use of all those tools. Thank you so much
Agree 👍🏻
Exactly I wish we had that stuff when we were little kids we missed out
Just been feeling sorry for myself about getting old and missing the long hikes, then this popped up! Thanks for taking this 83-year-old along. It relieved some of my anguish.
Chuck, my friend, we all have moments like that. We think about the old days when we did this, that or the other thing. Then wind up depressing ourselves in the process that we can't do it anymore for one reason or another. I imagine you've lived a brilliant & wonderful life with those long hikes! You've likely seen a thousand different things that I couldn't even imagine with my mere 46 years of life. I envy you for that & feel down on myself that I ruined my body while I was young with hard physical labor jobs.
I never had the opportunity to take time out like that, because I started my family young & wasn't able to imagine a better way of making ends meet than to abuse my body. I've literally had only two vacations in my entire life; Neither were solely by myself or for myself. I will never have the experiences you have.
Like you though, I find some solace in channels like this one or any one of a dozen others I can think of off hand that take me to places I could never go, discover lost items that amaze or excite both the channel's host as well as you as the viewer; There are even channels that specialize in finding people's lost loved ones. Whether they be individuals still abandoned on some battlefield from three quarters of a century ago or persons that met their end by driving a vehicle into a body of water either by intent or accident.
It is truly living vicariously through other's experiences - but it isn't so bad. To be sure, I'd far rather see these sights with my own eyes, make these discoveries or render those services with my own actions. This, right here, is the next best thing & it allows me to do it without being immersed in agonizing pain. Meanwhile I can always turn it off to do the things I can conceivably still do.
Stay mad boomer. I’m enjoying the hikes while I’m young. I’ll go on even more just to spite you. Thanks for ruining the world.
I feel ya Chuck. He gets thanks from this quadriplegic former hiker living vicariously through the videos. This one reminds me of a hike I took in Tahquitz Canyon outside Palm Springs just weeks before losing the ability to walk. Life is bittersweet.
Nice to see a series of natural waterfalls like this that haven't been molested by humans and incorporated into a park or something. Another great video, thanks for showing us this place!
Yes, Amen
Amen! My sister took me to see a half dozen waterfalls in Minnesota at the start of July here but they were surrounded with tourist infrastructure & some even had footbridges going over top of them. It completely robbed the landscape of it's mystique & natural feel. It just felt so ... "plastic." One of the so called waterfalls was actually an old style of dam. Neither she or the other tourists even seemed to notice the really old cut stone or how it was framed in these cut stones on either side of the body of water. Sure, they were weathered & covered in lichen, moss & overgrowth but still even a cursory look around revealed the truth. I gave up on smartphones almost ten years ago now because they ruin your perspectives & are an unhealthy influence on your life. (True, they have some handy utilities, but it's not worth it.) While I was there, once again, I was reminded of that choice I made. People were too busy looking through the little screen on their phones at the water coming over the dam to really look around themselves.
Love your faithful companion and love to virtually accompany you two on your adventures.
I am mesmerized by those falls.. The flowing water is insane but also unbelievably calming. This video is great to have when you’re having an off day. Thank you for taking us along and thank you for sharing.
You and Desert Drifter always seem to upload on the same days. It's a nice combo to watch at work.
thePOVchannel, Desert Drifter, The Trek Planner, Enigma Clandestino.
Who else does the whole desert/ruins thing?
I do.
@@sciencegremlin8307 my exact lineup hahaha
They loot Native ruins, I wouldn't support those disrespectful dudes. It's disgusting 🤢
@@thatdude3977 Have you ever watched a video of either of them? When they come across ruins they explicitly tell people only to look and not touch or take anything. They are constantly disappointed that the ruins they come across are tampered with.
Please go back every so often and see how fast/slow it changes.
I'm watching on a large screen and it's very coil. Thanks!
Once again you have taken us on a journey that shows us how unimaginable nature and natural surroundings can surprise us and make us feel how truly blessed and beautiful the planet we call home is. Great video and keep giving us your pov😊👏
There's a waterfall near Tucson that then flows underground - very scary box canyon.
Where? I live in Oro valley.
Wooo. The pareidolia stimulated by that rock image at 1:54 is extreme. Eyes, nose, mouth. Eye holes on the same level, triangular nose. Wonder what the ancient ones thought? Did they raise their hands to heaven? Sacrifice offerings to the mighty whirlpool? A treat of a trip, thanks.
The amount of power in those waterfalls is insane!!! To look are the carved rocks and know that water cut those away over time!
These videos take me back to my younger years when I spent tons of time exploring like you. Thanks for bringing the joy you do just by sharing your adventures!
That water looks a bit sketchy to me. Especially all that foam. Makes me wonder what's causing it? I love your videos. Keep 'em coming!
WOW❤Stunning!
Someone's already mentioned the skull at 4:15.
That's just the first of many effigies and art that you captured! That place is special, and looks to have been an important spiritual/gathering place.
The energy must have been palpable for you🤩
Great locale!
I agree with you.
Spectacular footage of waterfall, stream, and unusual rock and landscape. Was wondering why the water so brown? So cool that in what can seem a crowded world such wonderful places in the outback. Thanks for sharing your world of exploration and wonder!
Great videography...your channel is becoming a "can't miss " watch!
10:28 Wow. Look at all of those smoothly rounded edges and corners worn down by flowing water over millions of years. Some places look like holes have been cut by long gone, inexplicable, perfectly circular whirlpool activity. Interesting.
This was so cool. I'm more than a bit obsessed with waterfalls, and this was next level. Thanks for giving me something to smile about!
Great video, love the waterfall.
IN the UK we have a waterfall that come out of the side of a cliff face. The area is called Malam Cove and it was a huge cave in the ice age. Also not far away we have the worlds most dangerous stretch of water in the world The Strid, has claimed so many lives and still takes them.
Absolutely gorgeous!!! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing waterfall and beautiful nature!!!
❤️🎉💯👌
Absolutely beautiful. I would love to camp and swim there, though it might be dangerous as the water might pull you to underwater streams and caves.
Your dog’s tailless bunny-butt makes me happy lol 🥰
The waterfalls is your best so far. What a set! Amazing video. The waterfall!
That is so cool! It reminds me of a waterfall in Wyoming, where you can wade through the falling water and find a small cave behind the waterfall. But the one in the video is far cooler!
Beautiful spring runoff would love to see this in the September when it dries
i'm 68 and love yur videos, interesting and compelling, also yur dog is adorable and seems to be the leader
Imagine the caves, gullies, etc that water will make in the next few hundred thousand years.. Nature is INCREDIBLE. After seeing this I have subscribed, thanks.
What a dynamic and mesmerizing video! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Nolan! Another awesome video. Rushing water, cascades, and waterfalls-very refreshing! My ears are ringing but they always do, just more so... but I listen to everything with headphones and I didn't bother turning it down. I know how loud that sound actually is! ✌
I remember when the water filled up all the way up to the rocks.
But then the Dam caved in and it's never been the same.
Nolan, thank you very much for getting out there and documenting this feature. I saw a few faces in time. I'll try and edit something together to highlight. Peace and love to you all.
Thank you for giving us the pleasure of experiencing all this natural beauty with you. Your amazing find is a generous gift.💕
The quarry like formations around that waterfall are amazing. It must have taken 200,000 years plus to get that sedimentary rock to look like that. The water has iron oxide in it to making it look rather reddish brown. There has been a much larger volume of water going through here in the past hence those huge pothole formations!.
So many straight angles and seams. Interesting. And a "skull" formation too. Very interesting.
Beautiful place. It looks like that river used to have a bigger flow at some point in the past. Cool stuff. Thanks, Nolan.
Very unique rock structures. The falls are so loud that it makes you wonder what could be underneath the falls. A cover so to speak . Good find
At Rockwood Conservation Area which is West of Toronto Ontario there are big potholes. The largest pothole in this region occurs near Richardson Creek on the southeastern part of the University of Waterloo property. This huge pothole is called “Devil’s Well”. It is more than 13 metres deep and 6 metres wide. You could fit two city buses side-by-side at the bottom!
Wow!!!!! This is incredible! Please be careful and thank you so much for sharing. I was shocked you went in! I would be terrified. 😮
Anybody else think the rock formation on the left at 4:20 looked like a skull with the water pouring into its mouth? What a place!
WOW! That was some beautiful footage. I was surprised how powerful that waterfall was too. Just everything about it had me in awe Thank you for sharing this adventure.
Ok. My mind is officially blown. We can see how the awesome power of moving water creates these incredible landscapes & formations.
Can you determine the source? How long is this stretch of water & what do you call it? A river, a creek?
I know I'll watch this many more times. Thanks for taking us along.
its insane that in billions of years, a planet with scenery like this exists
Awesome landscape. Well done recording these remote places for many people to enjoy.
Spectacular landscape! Brilliant videography! Thanks!
SPECTACULAR videography. Extremely well edited. I just subscribed.
Crystal in Canada 🇨🇦
Where the Riviere Rouge comes crashing down it's gorge from the edge of the pink granite Canadian Shield and makes it's way to the wide, placid Ottawa river you can find these perfectly circular pools. The river is spewing and hurling away and yet you can soak in these tranquil and warm and very deep pools. Then lie naked on the silky polished granite rocks and dry off.
That light grey rock formation looks like a skull. Cooling off on a hot day.
Your videos are visually stunning. Thank you for taking us on a journey to ‘experience’ something that we wouldn’t normally get to. It’s quite meditative. And how good it is to be reminded of the raw beauty of our planet and be taken for a little while from all the negativity and distractions vying for our attention. New sub here.
Where is this? I'm what I call a spanophile, a lover of natural rock spans, and those natural bridges in the waterfall that you're showing really drew my attention. Thanks,
Those potholes tell you that there was a lot more water running through there at one point or another.
Great hike thanks for taking us along with you.
Thank You. I love the sound of the water. Your drone skills add so much perspective and visual content to your videos. What a fascinating place. Can you share the map coordinates of the long rock spine feature and so that we can view this on Google Maps?
All those deep pockets and ledges are carved from flash floods. It's really cool to witness the power of nature, from a safe distance of harms way. 😊 Thanks for this great adventure.
Ten precaución y cuida a tu compañero y siempre trae con que defender a ti y a tu compañero
Really interesting seeing the water channel from above on the drone footage. At the beginning of the video, that rock to the left of the waterfall looks like a skull😉 Thanks for sharing these spectacular waterfalls with us.
I love how your dog realizes he’s in the shot and quickly moves out of the view.
i love the editing and video style very raw , like even seeing you in the drone shots are cool asf makes it seem more real and authentic
What a wonderful find and thank you for sharing it!!! Amazing footage!
Wow loved the location! But the sound of that waterfall was very loud and overstimulating 😅
I skipped most of the video bc of this
Turn the volume down! 🙄
I think they’re boil holes or gnamma. Caused by several small rocks or a single larger rock being moved around by water eventually carving away a hole over Thousands/millions of years given lots of different factors.. Fantastic content sir! Thanks to you and the pup!
So nice to see the natural beauty of the falls without trash laying around.
I bet that place gets absolutely insane after it rains upstream, or even more during snowmelt.
I am mesmerized at this BEAUTIFUL SCENERY!!!❤❤💜🤍🤍🤍🩷🩵🩵👀👀👀👀
Me and the dog are whining anxiously on the ledge but you can’t hear us over the roar of the waterfall. 😂
That would bump you up a nice a slide down that waterfall! Epic video! Good drone video too! Thanks 🇱🇷
This is the best thing I’ve ever seen. I just wish I was there with you, love your work 😅
Thank you for taking me along! Loved it!
Just imagine... it used to be a lot deeper/more powerful
All that water action puts me into a trance of sorts, I could watch for hours! Thank you for the treat.
It's a great video but I would not recommend swimming in this kind of rivers, the current is very unpredictable and there is unseen cavities in the riverbed and possibility to get sucked in a hidden tunnel.
Be careful out there 👍
Oh My, I can smell the water, and feel it on my face. Thankyou for making it real!
Glacial structures created as the ice sheets receded. Whirl pools with rocks in them dug out these circular pot holes. These ice sheets were miles thick and the falls coming out of them must have been huge.
This is sort of like the subway of escalante staircase I have seen pictures of. This just goes in and on. Beautiful!
This waterfall is amazing! Thank you, for sharing.
I've seen people caving who stepped in holes like that and their whole body quickly fell in. They were grabbed by the hand, arm, or line at the last second. And of course the water was extremely cold. Whenever I see that I assume that hole has been eroded for probably millions of years and might go all the way to the core by now.
When you first walked up on the waterfall @1:47 it looked to me like a giant skull. I know, i’m weird 🥸
i see it
Ha! Your video couldn’t be more timely. It is 35C and your superb video is so refreshing! I could just feel that brisk, cold force. Thank you. Do continue Sir.
Just spectacular! Like a roller coaster of water 💧
New here! I'm so glad I decided to click on your video. Thank you for taking us on your journey that many of us won't experience.
Imagine being a kayaker and getting sucked into one of those holes during the rainy season. Horrific.
A small gold pan, crevicing tool and spoon/scoop would be nessesary on a creek hike like that!
Totally Awesome falls, looks like a skull from the front.
So cool underneath in the grottos. ❤️
At 10:30 in, there are some huge rock slabs with 90°angled sides…this area could be a pre-flood ruin…the long ridge stretching for miles…maybe a wall or part of an irrigation system.
Those circular features are ‘drilled’ by fast moving water. The amazing one is the small one at the 1:47 mark at your feet as you are approaching the falls. That is well above the others. Great place! Got to be Utah…
I loved this waterfall and your filming. Thank you.
Ahhh yess , ive been to this waterfall. That place is even more cooler upstream. But it runs dry towards at the end of spring , till the next spring. But just walking thru it dry is just as cool to see.
Where is this?
Try coming to the State of Victoria to visit the Disappearing Falls. They come over the cliff and land into a bed of large gravel. From there nothing flows out! (The water disappears underground somewhere!). Quite a sight!
Amazing waterfalls!!
At 3:18 it looks like the inside of a building. The wall has definite, symmetrical design. Look up meltology!
Strong impression for powerful waterfall
Young man, may you make millions selling this as stock footage for sci-fi movies!
WOW Awesome waterfalls. Awesome videoing and drone work. this video was extremely enjoyale to watch.
10 stars for this one. I worry sometimes for your dog (and you) possibly falling over an edge. Safe hiking to you 2.
Check out vids on Bolton Strid river in Yorkshire. I wonder if what you found has hidden underwater chambers too.
Another great video! Thanks for taking us along😊
The water is super brown there I noticed.
Utterly incredible, stunning, amazing, beautiful, wow!!
Loved this hike. Waterfall amazing
Thoroughly captivating waterflow!!! ♥👍
The color palette in the water was amazing to watch, the swirling beauty, thank you for showing us that 🙏
