I Found a Rare Geologic Feature on Top of The Sharks Fin

Today we climb the Fin in Sedona, Arizona, to see some unique geologic formations and an amazing summit. This adventure was challenging but well worth the journey. Thanks to Walt for beta to find the way.

Great video, Luke! I admire and applaud your adventurous spirit and your zest for learning more about the natural world. Some of the best and most special places require effort and sacrifice, like thrashing through manzanita and junipers and scaling spicy Class IV terrain. Thanks for contacting me and letting me provide a little info on the spectacular elongate concretions. Hope we can get together outside sometime soon and do a video. Keep exploring and stay curious.

That has to be your most technical climb yet. Amazing views!
Thanks for taking us along.

Thanks to dad and Tony!

Very cool climb Luke! I’ve always seen that feature. I hike a lot off trail in that area. Thank you so much for sharing it with me!

[nickdeagle]

This is great. You are so kind to share your video and trip with the world. I hope you become a geologist and educator as you have a natural talent.

What an incredible array of textures, structures and colours! I loved all of it! I enjoyed having the geology aspect explained too. Many thanks for the fantastic journey!

WHAT A CLIMB! Those rock formations were fascinating - the geological explanation for the iron oxide formations is interesting but does not diminish the magical, awesome beauty of all those dark shapes - just mind blowing!!

Fascinating geology, thanks for bringing us along, what a great film.

Another great video, Luke! Congratulations on your summit! A shout out to Shawn Willsey - his Geology 101 YT videos do a great job of explaining geology basics and his Random Roadcuts stop to look at exposed rocks and try to find evidence to explain the geologic events that occurred . He has many other interesting videos too.

Neat video, very informative. Desert Drifter showed the Mochi marbles but didn’t explain them. God Bless

[craigslyst]

Cool tubular iron sparkly rocks amost look like petrified tree roots, nice video!

[HeidiWohlbier]

Boy oh boy that was great. Outstanding. Like the rock formations, photography and the background music. Looked like a tough hike but well worth it. Thanks again

This was so much fun, I am going to go out and see if the approach from the east end is possible and if it might not involve so much brush crunching, thank you!

[Lougallops]

This one brought tears to why eyes. Thank You.
