- When I first learned of this place, I became obsessed. It is the most mysterious and impossible to reach place in the American West.
So, I set out backpacking to learn more about the people and things who once lived here.
What I found, might change the way you think about American History.
Make sure to subscribe for the following episodes, and a deeper dive into this incredible place.

Google Earth 🤝 amazing discoveries
Indeed. Thanks Googs 😘
Hii Google really like you, and man the channel of this guy is really incredible one day i wish to visit this places too
It feels surreal to have one person posting comments posing as Google.
stop spying people please
Google can you fix the ad blocking on youtube? if someone chooses to block an advertisement, it doesn't get blocked. Thank you
almost gave me a heart attack falling off that ledge😭
Mission accomplished
i got the tummy feeling when your in rollercoaster 😅😅. i did not expect him to just jump
I live in Colorado and around 1979 I was in high school I saw a black and white reel to reel film in geology class that showed what Glen Canyon was like before it was filled. That video exists somewhere. It was amazing and broke my heart. It is one of the most memorable things I’ve ever seen.
Yeah... I remember when I put down the chapter in "Desert solitaire" by Ed Abbey. Its strange feeling such profound loss for something you never knew and isn't a living person. But, It was a living place.
Please keep telling your story! I think you have to be willing to cry a lot to even look at it for what it is. The heartbreak is real.
That is so interesting! Would love to see that film.
@@the_pov_channel i read that book years ago as a kid. Fantastic book. Nobody these days knows about it. You should make a video about it. I haven't seen anyone other than my dad speak about it.
@@the_pov_channel There's a word for this "Hiraeth" It's not really translatable.....but it's a homesickness, or mournful longing for a place or home that is gone, no longer exists, existed only in antiquity, or perhaps never at all. A pull or mourning, or longing. It's a Welsh word.
This channel is a hidden gem . I love adventures and nature and this is such a great channel for me
I'm right there with you I love this kid!
Same
I'm always amazed at how fearless your dog is. I always wonder what puppy thinks of your adventures.
Puppy loves that!
Too close to the edge for my comfort
He loves them more than I do.
@@thegallantsaint2034
Me too..
I know I’m holding my breathe every time he films looking over the edge or when his loyal companion is right up against the edge also.
😬😬😬
I think it’s my fears for heights.
Love the channel too.
@@thegallantsaint2034 Bingo, I'm sure I'll never see a horrible plunge yet I'm still anxious about it. It actually distracts me when the pooch is looking back at the drone with a 1000 drop a couple feet away.
One of my most treasured possessions is a book from 1963 “the place no one knew” by Eliot Porter and published by the sierra club. Library of Congress catalogue number- 66-15340. It won the Carey-Thomas award in 1964. The photos are amazing . I hope you can find a copy somewhere even to just look at the photos. We have heard rumors here in AZ that possibly Glen Canyon dam would be removed . As it should be. Thanks for sharing your adventures
Thank you for sharing this, I'm going to find it. Onward...
so cool
also on the internet archive!
Amazon has a used copy right now…
I found a copy after seeing it mentioned here so many times. It wasnt cheap but I ordered it. quite excited about it. Thank you for the suggestion
Wow! I have no words for this existential experience you've shared with us🙏. Thank you and your pup whose calming presence is just as beautiful as the views!🫶
I feel the same as you about glen canyon ❤ thank you for making such an awesome video. One of the best channels on you tube currently!
i grew up in the everglades and now live in the midwest- i have never seen landscapes like this in person before. your channel makes me want to do a southwest national park tour!
Highly recommend the national parks out here. Theres too many to see and all are beautiful in their own way.
I took a screenshot at 4:54 and shared it on my Facebook and told it everyone to go to the POV channel!... This isn't just sightseeing This is a form of environmental activism with the impact of an atom bomb. This is technology enlightening the world to what's going on right in our backyard. This young man is a hero.
well said
Amen!
Man, as per usual, you deliver a video of the highest quality. Man, that dog brightens the video every time he photo bombs the shot. We all could use some more adventure doge in our lives.
Bruce Berger has a great book called "There Was A River", mostly a compilation. He rafted down it in '62, and ended up stumbling onto the set of "The Greatest Story Ever Told". Turns out the River Jordan scene was filmed on the Colorado! On page 38, he tells a friend's (named Remo) story of going down the river and being able to float into a feature called "Music Temple". They reached a cleft that was 75 feet above water when Berger explored the temple in '62. When Remo explored it, the cleft was reachable by water. He and his group found a ledge barely protected by an overhang, full of artifacts from the Basketmaker III culture. A year later, the cleft was 10 feet underwater.
The whole section about Glen Canyon is ~60 pages and fascinating. Check it out sometime!
This is freaking sick. I cannot believe how vast it is and how deep these canyons are. That overhead shot really shows off the geology its amazing.
I appreciate our modern electric world but hopefully as new energy production is established some damns can be removed and their original state restored
The Escalante River was always my favorite at Lake Powell. It would take you weeks to follow it all the way to the town of Escalante. These days, the water only goes up 1/2 mile before the river dries up. The river used to actually flow into the lake. It it extremely remote and almost impossible to traverse.
Gorgeous work, beautiful place - I had no idea~ Thanks for taking us along
Glad I could share something with you
I think Ed would be proud of your work.
"You can't see anything from a car; you've got to get out of the goddamn contraption and walk, better yet crawl, on hands and knees, over the sandstone and through the thornbrush and cactus. When traces of blood begin to mark your trail, you'll see something, maybe." - Ed Abbey
Thank you for how respectful you are around ruins, artifacts, etc. and how you remind others to do the same. And dang, what amazing footage you create and share! Wow. Thank you, Nolan. ❤
Wow, phenomenal filming on this video. Thank you for taking us all along with you. ❤
This is AWESOME! You find the coolest places.
Thank you for your personal share 🦅🪶
... you are more than incredibly lucky with today's technology and your will to rescue and piece together lost treasured history 🦅🪶
Phenomenal Drone footage ⭐🎥🏆👍
Thank you again and always 🪶🦅
The old photos of the pre-damn canyons: those places are emanating a power I have not felt in a VERY long time. I will need to meditate upon those frames further. You, sir, are a gift. Thank you for this beautiful video.
Yep. More pics to be found online that are fascinating
@@the_pov_channel Thank you again. I truly appreciate it.
Outstanding Bro! WOW! I have to say I am also quite impressed with your companion, your Dog. He really is special too. Thanks 4 sharin. This pry is the only way I will get to see this. I love your show. Thanks again Bro.❤❤❤
Wow, just discovered your channel POV. Fantastic footage. There is most certainly Mystery in that land. And I feel you are going to find it.....
You get my first like and subscribe of the day. Be safe ,watch yourself out there.
The drone shots in your videos are an example of exactly what drones should be used for... catching and recording absolutely stunning views like yours. Fantastic to see, keep up the great work. They make me want to expore these kind of places and camp like you do, just enjoying nature 🙂
7:25 that path mustve been crazy to take before it colapsed
This channel fulfills an extremely specific interest in my brain that I have been looking for for the longest time. This is my dream life right here
You have an amazing eye and incredible editing skills. If Hollywood hadn't already gone to s***, I'd suggest you could be the next great cinematographer there. Keep up the great work. Love the dog.
Thank you SO MUCH for this great production. Every human must see this. I've been there many times, and to many areas surrounding the lake and canyon; but I know I've just barely scratched the surface. With this vid, I feel like I know a whole lot more. I do understand though that there's much more to see and learn about this wondrous place. Thanks again!
Love love love this channel! Wow! Spectacular!
stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!! also written in into the wild... water level changes and even no water more down south...
dood
congrats on one of the most amazing videos ever posted
be careful around those ledges , we dont want to lose you brother =]
My parents were river runners on the Colorado before the Glen Canyon Dam. They obviously felt that Lake Powell was a mistake and would talk about the wonderful formations that were submerged. However it didn't damper there love for southern Utah and they passed that on to me. It's by far my favorite place on earth.
Wow, I never knew all that about Glenn Canyon.Thanks for taking us on this journey.Such beautiful scenery, history.
TY so much for being a free spirit and an explorer. TY for bringing us a few glimpses from your wonderful travels. I have learned so much about the flatlands and the canyons of USA through your eyes.
I wish you the best in your adventures!
Thank you soo much for the hike into E.din
Yes, like the grand, I'm sure there's stuff in Glen they really don't want us to see. Those arches under water looking down on them was from another world. Now that I battle with the Plantar sore heel syndrome, don't think Ronnie's rump will be doing the hike for real. Great job.👌😎
I saw a reel like that about the same time. I would love to see it again. Our instructor for a photography class showed it to us. It was so beautiful. It’s still a beautiful place even now.
I been wanting to go to Lake Powell for years. Seen photos of Glenn Canyon before the dam the landscape it looks so beautiful!
Your camera work is great. And the hunt for the first man carries on.
The Book The Place No One Knew has wonderful photos from before the dam. I hope I still have my parents' copy.
I am so glad I found this channel. Unreal content.
Your channel is YT gold. Greetings from Germany
Thank you for another great adventure!
I just love your channel! Now were you that little dot of green light off in the distance?
I live in Connecticut, so it’s just so amazing to come with you on your adventures. I’ve been to Bryce and Zion before. This is spectacular and looks like it must be so much larger than my state. It boggles my mind how different our country is in different places just in terms of terrain.
I just love these adventures. Thank you so much for sharing.
Glen canyon wasn't dammed until the mid 60s, and a lot of folks used to visit it. So I think there are plenty of people still alive who could give first hand accounts of the place. I really wish I could have had the opportunity to check it out. . . Thanks for the cool video!
Yooooooo this is awe inspiring, I thought rafting San Juan thru Valley of the gods & oxbow monument was the pique of beauty; seeing it from the river level hits different, and it might be, but this is incredible
That was an "unexpected" & hilarious fall. I love following your adventures...................but not toooooo closely !!
6:22 people trying to break into your car in the bcakground?!😂
Очень красиво!
It looks like ruins of old temples and palaces from India inhabited by Giants!
Fantastic footage!! Thank you!
I really ❤ your stuff! The visual delivery is stunning…..especially when the boat does a nose dive into the water at 10:22….Was that live? Or was that Memorex? Did anyone see that? Also, I really enjoy the beat or timing of your narrative style. I’ll be back….
I'm always amazed at how fearless Nolan is. Thanks for taking me to places I could not go.
I must have died in my "Past Life"! Everytime you get to close to the edge, i flinch! Great Visual though! Dean( Soul)
beautiful shots.
The story of this canyon seems similar to the one of Hetch Hetchy, though Hetch Hetchy was ground zero for dams destroying one of a kind locations. Consider doing a video on that, and maybe Tehipite Valley as well if you're ever in California
Thank you for what you do!!!! This is so fun to watch and absolutely mind blowing
Some of those jumps had to hurt 😂😂
...maybe 😅
Love Utah visited there last month going back for 4th of July
I really enjoy your videos. I have a serious ambition to do what you do, and explore that wilderness. Just the idea of stumbling across some ancient place, just to stand there and feel deep time around me. Amazing.
Such beauty! Thanks for the beautiful drone footage & the history of this area. Amazing channel. ❤ your channel & your best friend who hikes & explores with you most of the time. ❤ 🐕🐕🦺👍
That dog is clever. I’d be terrified to have mine off his lead up there. He’d see a bird and jump for it or something.
Doesn't it just make your blood boil at what we've destroyed with these reservoirs? It makes me sick thinking about what's lost.
Great drone footage, lovely dog too
Surprised you didn't mention the most famous depiction of Glen Canyon: _Planet of the Apes._ Lake Powell is where the Charlton Heston's spacecraft lands and his journey up until being captured by the apes was filmed in the canyon. Honestly it's fitting that such a movie would be shot in a landscape so alien yet still very much a place on this earth.
How do you get the moving camera shots of you walking?
Really cool stuff
caught me off guard watching this on a second monitor lol
Do you do requests.? I have a beautiful spot,, with an overlook of the Colorado River called Canyonlands Overlook Campground.. I know,, it sounds like a busy place.. I can assure you that very few people ever go there because it is marked 4WD access only.. That is only partially true,, the 4WD part is only at the end of the trail,, less than a mile.. Its coordinates are 38.406838 -109.705323 .. It allows an almost 360 degree view of the canyons.. I have always wondered if there are any ruins around that area.. I have camped there many times with no one else within miles.. South of Moab, UT is the road to Anticline Overlook,, take that but turn left ~at the fee campground.. It is only a few miles to the end on good road then the "ledges" start about a mile from the end,, you cannot go any further.. That is where I want my "Chock Full 'o' Nuts" can placed.. (if you don't understand,, watch "Bucket List" with Jack Nicholson)
Fantastic channel professional and clear. Bravo 🇬🇧
I wonder what the conditions were when people lived there? Must have had some kind of sheep or goats and gardens. thanks for taking us along
You just scared the c**p out of me. Did not expect you to fall off the bloody thing.!!!!!
Breath taking, and surprisingly refreshing and relaxing at the same time. a breath of fresh air among all the ai generated content we encounter these days.❤👍👏
destroying historical sites with dams should be an act of terrorism. happening in egypt too, flooding away history. It makes me sick to think about how much was lost
Wow I thought you fell. I was half asleep, and that scared me awake......
Bro you scared tf out of me when you jumped off that cliff 😅😮💨
Awesome place brother. As always thank you!✌
You are crazy and a gem. You remind us that everything is possible,thank you for what you doing
Very beautiful scenes awe inspiring for an armchair adventurer like me, Thank you...!!
Thanks, love you and that great doggy.
Your dog has the best life possible!
Welcome to Earth. Those with wealth Own it all. They are not looking for new members to their club.
Great work 👏 👍 you just got a new sub
Dude, STOP standing at the edge. Shit happens, like a big ass raven bombard you, a blast of air come down, a flashback, etc, etc.. I know, I hiked the canyons too. I like your stuff.
I admire your fantastic adventurous attitude and dedication but I wonder at your point of risk and sanity in hiking so very close to the edge where your taking is precariously close to the cliff’s edges.
I used to fly over the side canyons everyday for months on my job in Page.
Unbelievable views. And great job on putting this video together
Love it man!
I have acrophobia and had anxiety throughout the video whenever he was walking on the edges.
Very creative intro! Fun!
Wasn't there a lot more water in those areas when native tribes heavily lived there? So likely the water levels would've been similar?
Amazing video! 🎉
That big mound-shaped peak, seen on the horizon in a lot of your shots, sure looks like Tokenove.
Navajo Mountain. Sacred place. Never seen any videos or pictures from the top. Rainbow Bridge is below it
@@kentkippes5773 - Yes, but it was Tokenove long before anyone called it Navajo Mountain, while that hike, or horseback, from that trailhead east of there, near that little Navajo town, is a really wonderful experience, climaxing with the approach to Rainbow Bridge. It's about 20 miles, with nobody else on the trail and no sign of humanity, no trash and no footprints.
Should get a drone to comb the sides of the mountain see if u find any cave entrances or whatever
I worried about your poor old dog misstepping and falling to his death.
So beautiful, such beautiful vista's ❤❤❤❤it reminds of what it looked like at the beginning of the original Planet of the Apes movie. But this video is way better.
It looks like heavy mining was going on in ages past. "There is nothing new under the sun"
How dare you post Glen Canyon with out the epic skydiving scene from Point Break?
And they call it progress. Or would it have been progress to let it be?!?? Depends on how you define progress. Something to think about!
You need a lot of water for the dog to mark all this territory
mind blowing!! can you please send me the the pin to where you camped at.
There would have never been enough water to fill the grand canyon or even its inner gorge.
dude nice
