What I Found in the Grand Canyon is Baffling

While exploring the Grand Canyon I came upon ancient ruins from a prehistoric civilization that once thrived in this rugged place. I backpack into this remote natural wonder to explore some of the stories hidden within these massive walls. Intriguing discoveries still need to be made for us to fully understand this place. #ancientdiscoveries #grandcanyon #ancienthistory #exploration #adventure

Hey everyone, thank you for watching! A couple quick comments.

[Diogenes]

I'm in my 60's & I'm completely blown-away by the high-quality of videos being shown on youtube, so-much-better than the standard programs that you'd find on television today, this one here is Top-Notch Material, keep up the great work !!!

I'm 92 years old and paralyzed from the ankles up. Thank you for posting these terrific videos so that I may live vicariously through you! Typed this with my toes btw

The story telling in this was top notch. Who would’ve thought YouTube and hiking would be such a good combination

[reneewright]

I'm Native AMERICAN I thank you so much for sharing, I am 60 now, and even tho I feel in good enough shape to go there, I believe it's something I couldn't add to my bucket list, although, I am intrigued with your way of your many times of going there and how you imagine their way of life, I truly THANK YOU for taking me with you on this BEAUTIFUL VIDEO JOURNEY 😍 God Bless You & Your Crew, Keep You Safe and In Good Health.
AMEN

I’m not sure what you’ve changed but the cinematography in your videos has improved dramatically. Those shots of you with the river as a backdrop are just incredible. Keep them coming! Great job

[garytull]

The finger marks and prints give a very real human touch to these ruins. The desire to know more about these people is never-ending. Looking forward to the longer video, thank you.

Love this thank you. Ive lived in Alaska for 51 years now. My father was a big game Biologist and retired as the Executive Director of Fish and Game. So i grew up in the 70's and our summer camp was way up in the dull sheep vountry counting sheep with dad. What a life! What an adventure EVERY year. I love this stuff as did he. Matter of fact when we first moved to Alaska in June of 72 we lived just below Moose Bluff outside of Fairbanks. Dad would always say...there has got yo be something here....well sure enough...about 25 or so years ago there were scrapers and other artifacts discovered just off the trail we would ski in the winter! Something esoe huh!!! I so miss my dad and am so very greatful of all he dhowed and taught us. Love you Dad...you ARE the best!

When you showed the night skies it reminded me of the beautiful clear night skies, I saw back in the mid to late 80's in the high desert area of 29 Palms in the high desert of the Mohave desert, only they were so much more spectacular back then. I was in the middle of a huge Marine Corp training area with zero light pollution and when I would get off of radio watch in the middle of the night when it was clear I would sit out there instead of getting the sleep I needed to get and just look up at the bands of stars that was nothing like I had ever seen before, beauty in its purest form. Seeing it with your own eyes is the only way to properly enjoy it, I can't put it into words, I don't think anyone can. Maybe earlier peoples saw seeing something like what I saw as a religious sign that made them do what they did back then, it's likely been talked about many times before.

Deja vu (all over again!). In 1980 (I was then 37 yo) 23 strangers in 4 rubber rafts, took a 12-day Outward Bound rafting trip from Lee's Ferry. We stopped and climbed up to visit the granaries. Three of us (me included) had almost terminal acrophobia but somehow managed to inch along the cliff faces to arrive safely. After decompressing from our innate fears, we could enjoy that scene's beauty. Contemplating the lives of those first settlers was a humbling moment. Your lovely video brings back unforgettable moments. Thanx.

I`m 70 and hill walk in Scotland. I would`nt dare walk where you do, but I admire you for your stamina and determination in your explorations of ancient sites and structures. The scenery and views of the Grand Canyon are awesome. Thank you for sharing your adventures, and may you continue to do so.

I confess I really enjoy longer videos. I can't get enough of these beautiful

I lived in Arizona for 3 years up in Flagstaff. I worked with Indigenous tribes up near the Navajo Reservation and in the Grand Canyon. They told me that many of these places were abandoned around that time (1100-1200 AD) due to the volcanic unrest just north of Flagstaff around that time. Whole villages were abandoned because of it including at Walnut Canyon. Perhaps this eruption disrupted the climate for a time as far north as the canyon. Additionally some ancestral tribes left Arizona and founded tribes in New Mexico due to spiritual reasons. Not all left and some returned but it let to the splitting apart and creation of many new tribes including the Zuni. Very interesting area! Miss it!

Love how this entire video feels like the beginning of a suspenseful crime or sci-fi thriller, yet is so much more valuable.

I'm a 99 year old brain in a jar and I just want to thank you for making these videos since I can't exactly go around hiking and camping myself. god bless ❤❤💯

I Absolutely LOVE the GC! My best friend and I hiked the Rim2Rim, South to North back in 1999. We took it easy, more so, to take the time to explore side canyons and such. We started planning the trip two years before, learning all we could concerning needs, foods, water consumption, dangers, wildlife, etc. We would practice hikes going up and down mountain terrain along the Wasatch Front, as we lived in the SLC area.
I've always felt a connection to the GC but our hike into the bowels blew our mind. My friend had a degree in Geology and I am a Registered Nurse with experience in both emergency and surgery.

I can't stress enough how being prepared and knowledge going into the GC is tantamount. It is not a hike for the unprepared. Yet, every year, people need to be rescued or their body recovered. The GC is unforgiving. But it is also the most amazing place.
I am 71yrs old now, and due to health reasons, I am restricted in my movements. I've told both my children to cremate my remains and have them spread in the GC.

Thank you for including us in your adventures. This is new life for many with illness and infirmities that cannot travel to these places. Magical

My mother hiked into The Grand Canyon as an adventurous young woman in the 1950's but twisted her ankle severely yet still had to hike out!! I sometimes think how dangerous that actually must've been, and I'm lucky to have been born 😂😂😂 beautiful and fascinating video ❤
