How beautiful. You make me feel like I am hiking with you. I love the time you take to show the beauty of Arizona. I miss being there and you offer us all a magnificent hike when we can’t hike anymore. Thank you.
I loved it there. just wanted to let you know that the 5th pool is the only one that never runs dry. when I was there they were all dry except the 5th and out guide explained to us about it. This really makes me want to go back.
Skip, I appreciate you taking us along on this Beautiful exploration. I have been completely intrigued with our great canyons and all the questions and fascinations therein, since my first sight of them. No disrespect meant and you most likely know by now, but the plant that indeed looks similar to an agave plant is actually a yucca plant and the local indigenous tribes had several uses for the plant. They used the long leaves to pull fibers from, to make twine, which could then be used in a variety of every day things, such as weaving baskets.
Hi, I understand.....we're talking Apples to Apples! The Agave is a form of Yucca! Here in Arizona alone there at least four different varieties of agave or Yucca. In California they call it a century plant! Thank you so much for the comment I really appreciate it! Skip
Along the soldier’s pass trail there is also a cave you can hike up to which was once an Indian dwelling. It’s quite the climb but worth it once you get to the cave! It’s kind of hidden along the trail but if you watch other videos or download a trail app it should be helpful :)
While the Native American story about the stacked rocks maybe true, in Arizona and many other places around the world these are used for trail markers. They’re called cairns and they are very popular in Arizona.
Hey Skip, you should go with someone, so you both get directions right, and did you count 7 pools?? I tried, and never saw 7 of them, what is in the water in the pools, now days? Is it stagnant, or can you jump in?? Just curious. I am sure Sedona, Az. has info for free on these at the Vistor's Bureau, it is all free and up to date, but they should still, have enough money, to invest in BETTER SIGNS AND MAYBE A WATER SPIKET ALONG THE WAY, if you can't tell for sure where you are, I am sure other's do the same. Sedona, is a world wide attaction, they could invest in more signs and metal signs not those washed out paper on wood signs, very poorly marked trails for the "high style" of living and prices of Sedona, next to the 7th Wonder of the world too: Grand Canyon, not far away, hope they hear this to UPGRADE their signs and some life saving water along the way!! Keep traveling, you need to travel more not less at your age, ha ha
Devils canyon is not the largest sinkhole in Arizona. This video is full of malarkey. Find me one archeologist that says cairns are to ward off evil spirits. I also don't know how anyone could get lost on one of the most popular trails in Sedona. There is literally a jeep tour that drives right next to the trail. Unless maybe they were following cairns made by tourists.

This was my childhood backyard, I explored and played on every inch of that area from the ages of 5-15
I love this video! I go to Sedona all the time. At least once a month! I found a new hike because of this video!
Great video Skip! Thanks for sharing. You are not too old. I dig your content. Thank you so much!

Jackie OMalley thank you.
You got that right Jackie, had a stroke; partially crippled, but I grew up near there and as a kid that was fascinating and scary!
Looks like a great place to come and explore!
Thanks Sir! I love this trail a lot, I was here already and You make me wanna go again 😆

That was incredible!! thank you.
I love your videos, these pools remind me of hueco tanks in el Paso Texas, Greetings from Oklahoma.
Alfonsina y El Mar, thank you so much....I have so much fun making them.....I have a new one coming soon......it's all about UFO's
Skips Dirt Lot Genius Adventures I will check it out, thanks😍

Agave plant can also be used as needle and thread. The fibers of the plant are pretty tough.
the hike is maybe a mile or so.......it was so beautiful, I wish I had my camera on a different setting for a better quality of picture. thanks
Those places were incredible. How long a hike is it?
You can tell when it rains it turns into a waterfall, I'll bet it's a really amazing place in a thunderstorm!

Steven School Alchemy, thankyou very much.
blooms every 100 yrs
roger davies WHT Blooms every 100 years!!??
like pools
Why don't they have a staircase that goes down to the floor of the Devil's Kitchen sinkhole?
Did you notice that the largest pool reflected clouds that looked like a face .
Just my opinion, I believe all of these natural wonders are actually made by humans in our past. Includes rivers (canals) and waterfalls
The ancient bathtub story sounded a bit unsanitary ....LOL

Hi.
Hello
under ground water
Bob Zubrod, no mostly runoff from rain fall.
Devils canyon is not the largest sinkhole in Arizona. This video is full of malarkey. Find me one archeologist that says cairns are to ward off evil spirits. I also don't know how anyone could get lost on one of the most popular trails in Sedona. There is literally a jeep tour that drives right next to the trail.

Wow 👏
Okay, go out, do research.... make a video! Edit that video, then com talk to me!
Hopefully they didn't get their water from the same pool they bathed in.
greenspiraldragon, they got their water from fresh water springs!
Those pools are all runoff from rain and smow....not good to drink
