Favorite Geological Feature You've Visited

YellowSnow

Piggy backing off of @Doog_de_Jour 's off season, humble brag thread. For this week, I am thinking favorite geological feature...

I saw this a few years back. Was expecting to be underwhelmed. I was not. Uluru will blow your mind. Highly recommend if you ever get to the land down under.

The view from Glacier Point is pretty breathtaking





Taking the Jungfraujoch train up into the mountain is pretty cool too





And hiking up to the Schwarzsee at the base of the Matterhorn

It's fascinated me since I was a kid.

Zermatt is awesome. Did a similar hike to yours back in HS in the mid 90s.

I visited the barn from the movie "The Ring" out in Monroe

Not sure if this is the 'best'. But it mostly certainly the only one where I said to Mrs. Throbber, "Let's get the fuck out of here. This two foot wide trail between me and certain death is not a good time".

Mt. Saint Helens. While I think the mountain/park is worth a visit in its own right, seeing the surrounding areas that are still scarred by the eruption reminds you the power of Mother Nature:

The nearby Two Chins Peak is also worth checking out.

No doubt. Not too far south from there is an interesting toxic waste dump known as Nye Sass as well. Wouldn't get too close but it's worth a look.

The scum on the water is a nice touch. They've been discussing what to do with the lake since the 80's

I can't find the whole original footage from this Crockett guy. My little kid brain will never forget seeing that when it originally aired.

I drove down there once in college looking to do a brewery tour. They were closed for good. Oly was some good, Tuff logging camp liberal beer.
