I know this may not have been a high action adventure, but I still enjoyed seeing this! There are sites like this all over the place in the Southwest. They are long forgotten or have been eroded or destroyed. It was still amazing to see those carved hand and footholds though. I hope you enjoyed it too!
Thank you for being part of The Trek Planner!!

That cave is seriously beautiful and the geology is stunning.
Your adventures are the BEST! I maintain the steps were designed to be claimed in a specific sequence.. left sided ones for the left and right sided ones for the right foot. Consider checking my theory out…
I maintain your accent will be easier and more natural to use.
Don't sell yourself short, my friend, there's nothing "unprofessional" about what you are doing. Your opinions are welcome and give great insight about the discoveries you are making. Keep up the good work!
Thank you, Raymond!!
Thanks for not showing the graffiti or giving it acknowledgment. It really angers me at the selfish, callous disregard people have for such fascinating sites.
It makes me upset too!
Your ego > their ego, eh?
@@WN_Byerswhen it comes to destroying…. YES…
Life is too short to be angry .
The world is a big place but sadly it's getting much smaller everyday 😮💨as long as most people care a little bit, stuff like this will stick around but when we don't care...it can be gone in a night. Respect matters.
Having spent my childhood in and around St. George, petroglyphs and ruins were a normal part of family outings to me. Picnicing, hunting, or gathering firewood as a family I often hiked around and found undiscovered acient sites littered with broken walls, arrowheads, and potsherds. I thought everybody did. We were taught to respect it and enjoy the adventure and "leave it be." My older brother was the real hiker, and sometimes took us specifically to see something extra cool he found. Not just native American stuff and dinosaur tracks, but fossil and mineral deposits as well. He still lives in Hurricane. You might look him up and trade stories. He could certainly suggest locations to point Google Earth toward in your discovery and trek planning. Great video! Brings back so many memories.
Thank you for sharing, Joy! The more I'm living in the St. George area the more I am realizing just how much there is to see and explore here!
How cool😊
I grew up close to you(Cedar City), and I remember swimming in the Virgin River in the late 60s , practically every step you took was on a stone tool of some kind. Relics were literally everywhere. My friend found two intact clay vessels near the historic Veyo pool, which I believe are in a museum now. We'd also find homesteader relics, bottles, square nails, etc.

I'm in Cedar City Utah and would love to know the coolest spot to go to around here 🤔🤠
@@TheTrekPlanner Is this cave located on federal land? That'd be like the perfect place to start an off grid cabin embedded into the face of the mesa! 🤔
Being Scottish I know very little about archaeology in the US, now I want to know so much more! Thanks for your amazing videos
the formation of that rock is really facinating, kinda blows my mind the small dome in the cave has a spiral design ceiling as if they paved the walls themselves
sand and wind..
Everything spirals..
It's aeolian sandstone. Basically, it's petrified sand dunes. That explains the cross bedding.
It is wild to wonder how that dome got hollowed out up there.😊
It's done by fast moving water.
Always 🎉🎉🎉to see your new uploads. This place is GORGEOUS !!! Thank you 😊😊
Gosh buddy, thanks so much I love the American Southwest. I watch all I can about it on Clips and TH-cam and I’m too poor to ever go there and see it myself because I live so far away. I’m in North Carolina and I’m poor so this means a lot to me. I thank you so much for sharing,God bless you always stay safe on your journeys ❤ I am old and sick and have no other means to see these wonderful places that you go to, they make my day because I am stuck at home all the time due to my health. God bless you. ❤. And keep the clips coming Please
Hi, I get it. I'll health, I get it. I can not stand long or walk far. I get it. Another youtube channel you might also enjoy:
Green Mountain Metal Detecting. Brad posts a new video each Friday.
Thank you, Cindy! And thanks for "joining" me all the way from North Carolina! I have some friends who live there and would love to make a visit one day!
God bless you.💜🙏
Yes, Trek Planner, we vicarious travelers of the mind, appreciate all you can share with us ! Thank You !
Me too, my friend. Would never be able to afford to explore these beautiful, mysterious places; too old too!
We'll have to live vicariously through these young adventurers!
The soot and suspiciously flat ground would make me hypothesize that the area in the back was definitely used for long-term storage of jars full of perishable goods. They used to light fires in sealed-up little rooms to allow the fire to consume all the oxygen in the space, which would eventually also put the fire out. This allowed them to store food for several months longer than it would normally last (some argue that staple food items could have lasted over a year in these environments so long as they never unsealed the entrance afterward). Fun fact: things like vacuum-sealing food bags or smoking sausages also use oxygen deprivation to make food last longer :)
Thank you for your insight!
The smoke in a sealed up area would kill lots of insects and other organisms as well.
That is fascinating! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Very interesting.
very interesting, I never heard of such a thing.
They secure footing while carrying a load on one's back.
I thought the same thing. Time to delete my comment!
Maybe it's the power company that put that wire pole on top of the rock.
Peace and Ahev
Horses to get a foothold….They were carefully drug up..
A great way to start my Saturday morning! Thank you for ALL your videos. They're thoroughly enjoyable! We've always been fascinated with that area since first traveling the old "Devils Highway" 15 years ago. Take care, be safe!
Thank you! I'm happy to be part of your Saturday morning! Thanks for "joining" me! 🙂
it is fun to see things on google earth and then in person! I had an adventure today and it was interesting relaying the information back and forth in my head, from what I saw on the computer to what I was seeing in person.. Big difference but in an amazing and adventurous way!
Closer and closer to that 100K. Good for you, man. Thanks for doing all the work for us.
It feels like a dream to be honest haha I am so so so grateful to you and everyone
It would have been nice if you had shown what it looked like from viewing the landscape outside the cave while inside.
I understand that the author tries to preserve its exact location. So many insensitive people around as the graffiti showed us! I very much dislike that attitude.
@@alwaysfourfun1671 Exact Location.... Page AZ it is literally my backyard.... That cave is one of 3 nice caves south and north of the P that is on the mountainside for PAGE,,, Yes it is about 1/2 a mile from highway 89 near the famous horseshoe bend in the glen canyon dam,,,, it is inside city limits not hard to find.
And in 1987 I MADE THOSE STEPS TO BIGFOOTS CAVE (12 years old and with the aid of a friend) :P Call it that cause it looks like a giant kicked the rock in with its foot to step up the mountain. If you want I can send you footage of what it looks like looking out the cave to highway 89 and to the right Page AZ up on the other mesa.... Thats why there is no footage looking out the cave :P
The fire char black marks is because Drunks and Homeless camp in the caves on their way out to the reservation and stuff. Many Kids from page have left their marks over the years,,,, My mark the steps...... earth.google.com/web/@36.88330297,-111.48622623,1320.41004952a,45.5362675d,35y,123.4538505h,0t,0r
thats what i was waiting for🤦🏼♂️
Beautiful area, I'd like to learn more about the geology of the southwest. I like seeing the flowers too, amazing how some plants are so green!
Love your adventures. When living in Tucson, Az. While always hunting the hills in Southern Az. I enjoyed the similar trips you take. Amazing the findings we encountered without looking. This was back in the late 50's, early 60's. Thinking these grounds are ruined by now, hopefully not. Good job, keep searching, many of us older outdoors men and women are entertained with your posts.👍👍👍
I love hearing the stories from you and others about your own explorations! It really inspires and encourages and me and others to get out there! Thank you!!
You’re doing a great job! I appreciate your pleasant attitude and words. Thank you for adding “good things” to TH-cam!
Thank you so much!
I love that you were able to walk in the ancestor’s footsteps!
It was so much fun!
well, it'd be better to avoid climbing, so archeologists can get there and record the current state. If everyone stomped all over the site, it would destroy and contaminate it. Please notify a local university/Parks and Wildlife. You will still get credit for finding the site, and the researchers will let you know what is okay to touch/walk on! We have so little information about the ancient peoples of this land; please help preserve it for future generations!
Loved it as usual. Thank you so much for doing this. It is my favorite kind of video to watch.
What a beautiful place. You brought us along and shared! Thank you.😊
The colors in and around that site were amazing, thank you for sharing. I hope you have a Glorious Week, You Deserve It
Thank you for little trek, enjoy all your treks. Am able to imagine being utilized.
Thanks for the trip. Absolutely makes me sick to see the tire tracks and the spray paint and the Powerline Towers on top of the Mesa.
Yeah I am not happy seeing the deliberate destruction at any of these sites
We wouldn't see this video without tire tracks and powerlines there. We drive many hours in a car each year and often over ancient people's homes. When do we give back, to plant a tree or something as important.....
You've followed so many sets of Moki steps, eventually you will find a Moki. It's inevitable.
Thank you again for sharing all these amazing sites with us. I love that you can find so much and are willing to share. Totally trips me out.
Really Awesome share!!!
Thanks for sharing these videos! My family is from S. Utah and I love learning more about the history of the area!
This is so cool. You are literally standing in some ancient peoples living room.
Thanks for going there and sharing the video with all of us 👋
I love that you express your curiosity in such an adventurous and healthy way. And you are so respectful of the sites. Bravo!
Stunning! What a find! Thanks for the tour!
I love your videos, these places need to be protected and cataloged, the history of North America goes back millennia, it's something that few really know much about, so grateful you take the time to do this and spark interest.
This was great!
Thanks for taking us along with you.
That was a really cool place! Thanks for takkng us along on th his fantastic adventure. Sending lots of love and warm greetings from Missouri.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing and the respect you give to the places you visit.
Thanks, fun to come along on the exploration.
Thanks. Keep em coming 😊
This one definitely felt more immersive. I see you tried some different camera shots and some cool editing also. The drone footage and chill music at the end was a nice touch with good timing. The flow grabbed my attention. Though it may not have been your coolest discovery to date, this video stands out.
Can you imagine, sitting in that cave as a thunderstorm comes across the valley? What an awesome view that would be!!
Beautiful blue skies on your adventure. Nice job.!
Brit here, although we have tons of history here caves are few and far between and I love a good cave! there's something very primal about being in a cave, I wish I could go exploring like you, there some very interesting things in your country! thanks for sharing.
I think it is awesome that you found it on Google Earth and then went out and found it. You have the true heart of an explorer.
So cool. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for all your exploring. Sooo cool to see all that amazing terrain!
2nd video of yours that I've watched, and I've subscribed. You remind me of my adventures around Australia: I spent months checking out various remote locations and trying to cast myself back in time to when the various sites were inhabited, imagining the people who made the rock art. Enjoy your adventures, and thank you for sharing them.
It does look similar to the Northern Territory and Outback Western Australia, I agree! That's part of the dreamtime, when you see the ancestors doing their thing👣🙌
Awesome video... thank you!!!
Many Thanx for All of your videos, I really appreciate all of them
Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us.
I was adventurous as a child and young person.
But to up in years now.
That's actually a really cool looking cave. 😎
Thanks for sharing, keep up the great work!
Interesting. Thanks for the tour.
Wow! That was an absolutely amazing view that you never showed from the cave! Awesome!
Super rad, thank you for sharing. ❤
Today is my 2nd hike with you on TH-cam. I’m watching from Orange County, NY and really love the whole concept of your videos. Actually going to the sites that you’ve discovered via drones, I find creative and unique. New fan!
Stunning landscape. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures!
Really grateful for the trouble you go to. That cave was certainly beautiful
I loved it! Thank you
❤️🙏❤️
If you are going to say "I can see for miles" could you please turn the camera around and show us? Love this stuff.
😆🤣😂🤘🤘🤘🤘🌎🌎🌎🌎
Thanks for showing all of these beautiful places
Awesome! I love caves!
Hello young brother. Great vid as always .👊🏼
Another adventure.. thank you for sharing your adventures..
Thanks for taking us to these cool places!
Thanks for video. And your information. Neat place to see
Loved that cave. Moki steps are quite interesting. I’m going to look them up now.
Moki steps are my favorite! It just is fascinating to me how ancient peoples created these steps to reach some very steep and dangerous places!
Thankyou for sharing
"If those walls could talk...." fascinating to imagine the experiences of those before us!
I would love to go trekking with this guy. He is so genuine
This was super cool. Thanks for showing us.
Thank You for another cool adventure. 😊
Awesome adventure keep doing what you love
The Anasazi carved a lot of steps. Have you been to the Navajo swimming pool? It's cool as heck. They carved a channel in rock like that, by a natural spring. The ran down the man made channel and into a natural circular pool of nice clear water. To get up to the pool, there are carved steps, done by the Anasazi. IDK know exactly where it is, but it's up in elevation a bit, and the spring is even further up. Thanks. This Native American loves the ruins of the sw. I know a lot of the Dine Navajo teachings, Oral Tradition etc...but I'm not Navajo. They come from the area my tribe is now located. Very few know, the Navajo came from the East, not the North. They say so themselves. I digress. Again thanks. I love seeing all these places.
Thank you for your comment! I haven't even heard of the Navajo Swimming Pool before. Sounds like an amazing place to see though! Do you know if it's a place that I would need a permit for? Or is it like a park? I am very interested!
@@TheTrekPlanner
I have tried twice to post a reply to your comment about the Navajo Swimming Pool and provide a link to a TH-cam video showing the pool and both times my reply with the link was not accepted
edit: I see that my comment without the link to the TH-cam video about the Navajo Swimming Pool was accepted...if the link was allowed to post in my prior attempts I am highly confident that you would have enjoyed watching the video
What a shame.
Sadly, I believe TH-cam does not allow _links_ to be added to comments.
The best thing to do is to type the exact title of that particular TH-cam video you want to feature or refer to and to suggest that people copy the title and then search for it.
@@Pammellam
Wrong.
I am able to add *links to other TH-cam videos* in comments on nearly all videos but a link to something *other than a TH-cam video* is almost always denied.
I have found that some channels do not allow links of any kind whatsoever.
Sadly, this appears to be one of those channels which is a shame because the Navajo Swimming Pool video is truly worth watching.
@@earthlingjohn Ah, I was actually wondering about that. I had thought that perhaps that link issue is something the TH-cam video channel owner controls themselves, but I wasn’t sure. I also do recall in the past seeing links in comments but not often, but I was fuzzy about that. Thanks for clearing that up.
Nice video quality! Great job!
Thats was neat, thanks for sharing.
As always -great content Jeff!
Thank you so much!
Thats a gorgeous spot thanks for showing us
I love what you do for fun! 😎👍
This is the first time ive seen one of your videos. I really enjoyed it.
What a beautiful site. Thanks as always.
Very much enjoying your videos, watching from the UK, quite enjoy visiting ancients sites we have here but you did inspire me to have a look at google earth at roughly your part of the world, and found a few interesting things, shame I've no chance of checking them out myself!
So beautiful and cool!
Loved watching this.
This channel is so curious. Subbed!
Yep, that's probably a granary. Found something similar in Southern Utah when I taught wilderness survival to troubled youth. It was up much higher, couple hundred feet above the river basin, with steps and a precarious path. There were several native made rock wall storage compartments/bins, with small corn cobs still scattered in bins. Cool find, good job!!
If you would have looks around on top, especially where there is a lot of sand, you would probably find lots of obsidian chips. During the winter months, they would go up to be in the sun, on nice warm sand dunes, and flint nap arrow heads, knives, spears, etc..
Very cool! Thank you! 👍🙂🌷
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for doing this and all your videos. I live in Georgia and have been to Moab, UT and love that area.
Fascinating thanks for sharing your discoveries 🙏
Fabulous. Don't tell anyone where these places are. I have been to numerous ruins and fear vandels more than anything. I love your respect for these incredable places. I can't hike that far anymore so really enjoy going along with you.
I loved this, sometimes I feel you are in a dangerous place but you always make it out safely.
Amazing video Thanks for sharing.God bless. 😇❤❤
That was really interesting. Thanks for making this video. 🙂
I love your adventures, thank you for sharing
Thanks, loved the trek, so interesting 😎🤩⭐️
This is fun! Everything doesn't need to be a major attraction. In this era of so very many people on the planet the "major attractions" (e.g. "The Wave") are not only crowded but may even require a lucky lottery. Finding fun in small things may be the new path to a satisfying, low stress life. Thanks!
Wow!
Cool place for a family picnic. Kids would love it.
Fabulous ..thanks for showing ..from Australia..
Glad i discover you ! Keep doing 👍
Thank you!!
Thank You for Your efforts to educate us that love this type of exploration. Through Your, eyes and footsteps.
This was really cool and interesting. Thank you
