Nah man not even the first. Back in 99 on vacation i hiked it and sat right to the left if that sandy tannish colored rock and smoked a huge doobie and got the munchies resorting to me having a mre out my pack. It was the stroganoff and it must of went bad cause i got severe gut cramps and had spackled a diarrhea spray fart behind that other rock just over to left and by a sage brush bush. It was gnarly!
Obviously the vast overwhelming majority of people will never ever venture to such places. That is why I applaud you for taking us along to see sights we would otherwise never see. Thank you and your dog... Thumbs Up!
I am just a Tennessee hillbilly but as pretty as that place is, it's also alien and eerie. I think I'll stick to my mountains and trees. I'll just explore vicariously through you.
@@beauealey9300@beauealey9300 I grew up on the North Oregon Coast and tried to live in the Southwest, but I found it to be a dismal place. There are No Trees, No Rain, No Thick Underbrush, No Fog, No Wind and everything is brown when it should be all GREEN. LOL! 98 degrees at midnight felt like I had died and gone to hell.
Freaking love your channel man. I live in SW United States, and I do a lot of Google Earth scouting for my hunting. Sometimes I'll come across something odd, and check it out- but it's quite rare due to familial obligations and time restrictions. Really like the concept of what you have going on here, and makes me want to get out more often and do the same. Keep up the great work! (edit: One thing you might consider investing in is a PLB [personal locating beacon]. I do most of my hunting/camping/hiking solo, and had a bad run in with a rattlesnake once. It's a small device, that when triggered sends out an SOS signal so emergency response can get to you. I'm now a Flight Nurse, and sometimes respond to folks out in the middle of nowhere that get rather injured as you can imagine. Pretty cheap, and can save a life.)
@@the_pov_channel leave the place at a better state than we found it. that's such an awesome principle to explore. i image it can be difficult if you find too much trash to carry back...
I'm sure the dog is glad for the adventures. But I keep looking at the steep cliffs, side slopes and giant potholes littering the landscape and wonder: How often does he have to get another dog?
[Dog] : "Look you know I love you dude but I swear too god there better be a steak restaurant around here or a fried chicken spot you brought me all the way out hear and I'm telling you i can't smell any food ..?!!...all I smell is rocks..there at least needs too be a dinosaur bone or a dragon spine I can take back n show the fellas you gotta make something work here or else I will consider this a kidnapping you brought me against my will and I'm not even gotta get some bacon n eggs ?....when we get home we need too sit down n have a talk about my distance covered reward system base and if the situation doesn't improve within the next 45 minutes I'm gonna piss in your shoes 3 times a day for the next 6 months untill my urine has deconstructed your shoes into shreds...now hand over the backpack and the contents need too be a festival off cold meats in there or else this has truly become an unnecessary uncool soul twisting apocalyptic turn off events here today ..."
Heh... all i can say is that dog is way smarter than you are. And yes, a doggo like that would be excited about any outdoor adventure like a nice hike in a canyon with his favorite hooman. The dog also is very attentive and watches out for Nolan. Every time he goes close to a ravine or a hole he comes near him and stays close as if saying "Dont get too close to the edge Nolan, you dont have my grip...".
I am a Aussie and your dog looks to be a Kelpie/Border Collie cross, two of the most intelligent working dogs. I hope he enjoys the long treks as much as you do. He looked a little tired at the end. Beautiful dog and would be very loyal as is a dominant trait of the breeds.
He's a purebred Australian Shepard, not a mixed breed. I know. I have two of them and this little guy is a spitting image of one of my dogs. They are purebred as he is. Wonderful dogs!
@@fabiosplendido9536 not really, he has a very fluffy coat, my dog has the same but as soon as he gets wet he looks like a walking stick and you can easily feel his ribs
I used to go on remote solo hikes when I was your age until I got lost one time in a deep wilderness in Northern California 30 years ago. It changed my life and ended my climbing career and my ability to travel. I reduced my PTSD after a lot of outdoor trips but never got completely over it. I can love your scenery watching it at home but if I was there I would feel exactly like I felt when I was lost: I don't want to be here.
Felt the same way on my own property,gives me chills to think i got lost and could die on my own property within hundreds of yards of the road or trail,truck
If a geologist could say how long ago the sand dunes were petrified,you could look up around that time to see what types of animals had bear type feet like those prints.
That massive sandstone mountain, I think is the one they use in a lot of the cowboy movies etc. You could have done with camping the night there. The tunnel you went through looks like a dried river bed and the whole area is carved out by water. It is really nice to see younger people tidying up the environment and I wish everyone thought like you and myself and many others out there. If everyone looked after their rubbish responsibly the world would be a much better place for us humans and especially wild and marine life, because rubbish blows into the sea no matter where you come from. ❤
Hubby and I own a ranch in Southern California. We have it listed with the film commission, and some limited filming has occurred there. The dirt road leading to the ranch is pretty rough, and in times of heavy rains, becomes impassable. The ranch is extremely beautiful, and we have uninterrupted views for many miles. Perfect for filming, right? Only a 2 hour drive from Los Angeles. But, the road is what keeps all but the most intrepid and adventurous film makers away. They need to be able to bring lots of large production vehicles to the ranch. And lots and lots of vehicles filled with people. And if they can’t drive there, they don’t film there. Which is why I think the truly beautiful place in today’s video, is not a filming location.
Hmmm going from the difficulty in getting in to that location, I think it highly unlikely. No way could production trailers, etc getin there. There are much more popular and aeasily accessible locations in that part of the States that fit the bill. Easy enough to google a movie name and the location. Also there would be evidence from shoots; they weren't so careful and enviro conscious back in the day.
The arch looks carved by water, but it leads right to a dead end. So it doesn't seem fast moving water went through there and just slammed into the wall.
This video just popped up on my recommendations and after watching it I immediately subscribed. This is absolutely stunning scenery and gorgeous camera work as well. Can't wait to go through the rest of your videos and to share your channel. Great work!
SPECTACULAR! Wow man, I am fully blown away. Wish I could be there - It would be hard to leave. Pictures do very little for something of this magnitude. WOW! Thanks so much Brother - Keep going Brother! This is astounding!
I applaud your resolve. I'm 68 years old now. When I was your age I did similar exploring in the Colorado volcano fields. So much to see in America. Some good, some not so. I love being able to travel vicariously, thanks to you.
My people tell a legend of a great flood around twelve thousand years ago that washed away the ancient ones. With this flood, we lost the technology and knowledge of the ancient ones. The elders say the waters from that great flood carved these arches and holes in the sandstone.
I would love to hear more of anything passed down from earlier generations of your people. I think those “legends” are absolutely true and tell us what’s to come. Is there anyway this would be possible, to hear more?
I love seeing your videos! Roaming the beautiful landscapes with your dog is a dream come true for me. I love the west and go there on vacation as much as i can. Keep posting these awesome escapes. They are much aprecieated!!
This is a gem! Great work on this video, for sure. It looks, like there is a relief carving, in the middle of that tunnel, under the bridge, on the left side. Maybe not, idk, but this place is magical.
Don't tell anyone where this is or it'll be covered in F-word graffiti within a month. That place is extraordinary! What a cool adventure with a huge payout! Thank you so much for picking up the trash too!
Will never disclose locations... places like this should only be found by those up to the task and who can appreciate and respect it. Also- I disagree with the graffiti piece. Fortunately, most hikes in the Southwest have absolutely 0 graffiti. That's something I have really only found in hikes outside of Los Angeles or big metro cities.
@@the_pov_channel I've only been around Idaho and Alaska and, unfortunately, there's graffiti in the most out of the way places in both those places. Moreso Idaho than Alaska thank goodness.
Ok some geologist data here: The weird curved lines looks like convoluted stratification, that can be formed by multiple factors like tectonic movements, turbiditic currents in continental slopes and more, I don't know the geology context of the area so I can't specify what is it. Second, the holes in the walls are called Tafonis and the ones in the ground Gnammas, both are formed by pure erosion of the wind when particles transported by it act like an abrasive. Finally the marks you said to be dinosaur footprints are not that, I am certain about that because I have seen and even excavated some in the past. They can be either secondary erosive structures formed more recently or something else. The area looks to be made out of sandstone and I would say it is more likely an eolian enviroment (ancient desert) or transitional marine (delta, estuary...).
i lived in nevada for 12 years omg i miss hiking in the desert so much.. i had to move to boston for work and i feel like im trapped in a box here... the southwest desert is the only place i ever felt freedom and peace
I live in Mass too. A few years ago I spent 6 months camping remotely out west. The quietness of the desert is something you couldn't describe to an urban person. One morning I climbed to the top of a big hill where I could watch the sun rise over the desert. It was one of the most spiritual things I've ever experienced. I must do it again before I die.
i loved discovering animals in the desert... so many beautiful birds and lizards. bighorn sheep wow ... i hate boston...this place is ugly.. the south west desert is virgin land so amazing@@Automedon2
We could do a picture explanation book together??? This is real and only smart people will think it thru others dismiss my work as it is very hard to believe but facts are facts.
Thank God no gold was found by the old timers..None of this beautiful stone structure would exist.,. Amazing the public hasn't been trashing the place...❤☝️🤗🙏🌹
Hi! Hiking out there by yourself is very dangerous. I doubt there is a cell tower nearby in case of an emergency. Do you take a satellite phone? You should if you continue this lone hiking. That said, I love this video. I am a retired geologist and specialized in sedimentary rocks for my masters. I am also from that kind of country (Arizona) but now live in Florida. Life takes you around! Thank you for recording this stupendous trek. I discovered previously never seen dinosaur tracks near the LSU geology field camp in Colorado in 1973. The former beach sediments were vertical now, and I was digging out the interbedded shale looking for depositional structures. Then when a big chunk fell away, there was a tri-toed dinosaur footprint about as big as my hand with fingers spread on the surface face of the sandstone bed. I took photos, but was not able to pursue this further because I was an undergrad student on an assignment that was not paleontology! Unlike what you found, the toes were in a v-shape. I was the first anything to see it in about at least 65 million years! I was awed! Not being a paleontologist, I cannot help you identify what you saw. It was definitely a footprint, though.
That's funny I was going to leave a comment and tell him to go to Mud fossil University and share the pictures and the video with Rodger! I couldn't help thinking that it was a living beast at one time a giant with the living DNA I'm not joking did you notice the anise :-)😊
I'm positive he would find all kinds of ridiculous ways to interpret these GEOLOGICICAL formations, not a one of them being correct in the slightest. He's a legit loony and I feel bad for him because it is obvious he believes what he is talking about. He will entertain anything but the most rational, simple explanation. I will say that he has mastered the art of fleecing the gullible for views and a minimal income, though. He puts more effort into crackpot theories than I ever put into my full time job for an honest paycheck. By the way, it is spelled Mudfossil, not mudfossel. Spelling is important if you want people to pay any attention to what you have to say.
Wow. Absolutely stunning. Thank you for doing this. I am a lady of a certain age with a partially torn ligament that I am hoping heals without surgery sitting here watching you bring the world into my life. Technology and good people equals amazing.
Thank you. I have had alot of ligament injuries myself. Keep moving, stretch, and stay active and I think you will start to feel better. Motion is lotion!
Incredible landscape . Thanks for taking us on a journey into a real wonderland. I get the impression that these formations were created by an ancient inland sea that carved out these fantastic forms.
Great video! When you entered the area and I saw the arch I got super excited, even more so when I saw there wasn't a fire ring and ton of litter. Great Job, Stay Safe out there!
I do a lot of hiking and a good trick I have found is to take a small drone with me, nothing special just something that can give me a view of the land I am hiking on when I come to rough places like this. Not like the one you filmed with, just a small pocket sized one with like a 100 meter range. That way I can plot the best course from the air and find the easiest path and identify any potential problems ahead of me like any dangerous animals or obstacles.
Wow! That geology is magnificent! And your dog is amazing! Thank You for sharing this beautiful trip. And Thank You for caring about our planet and picking up that trash. 💙😊
The geology story is of an inland sea millions of years ago. Then Plate Tectonics lifting the North American plate around 100 million years ago and forming the Rockies and the Sierra Nevada's around 93Mya, @20mya the Pacific Plate hit NA and the San Andreas Fault began pushing California NW and pulling open the Basin and Range Province.
I heard that just in a part near the end when views from up high were filmed. I think it may be the sound of his camera drone. I thought it was rain at first too.
Giant structure melted by electrical storms..have done a lot of exploring all over this great land with my dog and a couple different Hondas🤙🏽love your style man! Keep up the great work..also I pick up trash everywhere I go too. Never stop doing that..remember all girls like it but the right one will actually follow your lead and stop and help you when she see you doing it
My playground is the Crown Land just outside of Algonquin. Just a few miles away, outside of Pembroke, there are places to find arrow heads if you know where to look. The indigenous people have lived here unbroken for over 5000 years. @@the_pov_channel
The Pauly Shore of weird shit.. man you are going to find something one of these days that is over the top.. Your dedication to this is inspiring.. And the video is great too.. 👊
Also, could the "S" carved in the rock with lines under it be the native American symbol for Water? They used to draw maps and in an area like that it'd be even more important to show where water is at on a map.
@@dez6278 because if you look at the other rocks in the area, they all have these types of "engravings". Given the topography, it's likely from water run off over thousands of years. It stands to reason that, given enough random attempts, nature will formulate some shapes that trigger our modern brains to see something that isn't there. Also, along those same lines, given all of the other natural designs and lines in the area, it's unlikely ancient people would have made a marker to something as important as water among all those other natural designs where it could easily blend in and be overlooked. They'd place it somewhere distinctively and clearly as is seen at other sites.
@@dez6278yeah I really wish he filmed there a bit longer. I wanted more screen shots. The upper left looks like a hand but he stopped filming. Humans lived in these area for eons, so I always look at different ideas. Either way they are so beautiful!
I was an archaeological surveyor and still live in this region for many years. Not necessarily alien, but non-human habitat builders would explain a lot and I think your instincts are right on. Why is it that the rest of the world was moving toward the iron age while at the same time these isolated 'societies' lived in some kind of advanced 'stone age'??? There are virtually no petroglyphs of humans yet other species and animals are depicted in great detail everywhere you go. Only human hands are shown that are clearly human. It is a real mystery. Great exploration. Enjoy it while your young enough to do it and love your trail buddy because you can't repeat these good times with your little buddy when your older like me. I miss my dog most of all. All about the love in the end man. cheers ..... (-:
The whole Four Corners part of America is mind bogglingly beautiful. You can't look around without seeing something spectacular. And it doesn't stop there, the Ancestral Puebloan culture left ruins all over the area. There are dinosaur tracks everywhere too.
honestly im commenting before the video finishes but if you look more its a very good area for small civilizations, strategic area, great discoveries my man!
Love your video. Thanks for sharing. What your doing is the same as I was doing some 60 to 65 hears ago. We didn't have Google Earth then, but the exploring the wilds was the best. Again, thanks for what your doing.
Those are LITHIFIED sand dunes, not petrified sand dunes. Petrification requires organic material. Silica is non organic, hence lithification, not petrified.
What an awesome place! Did you notice that the arch/tunnel you walked through had a trail all the way through it in the very center, like it was etched into the sandstone? That "S" you saw was likely a depiction of a snake or river. I suppose it's possible that nature could have carved it, but it looked to me to have been carved by human hands. What a fun place. Thanks for picking up.
I'd be looking for stashed treasure there. Maybe the "S" is a clue! I'm so impressed you younger gens are adventuring this way and grateful you're taking us along! Be careful out there. Do you have a satellite phone? 😉💜
@the_pov_channel you definitely got a better look at them than I did lol. A bit suspect to me, specifically the little stack on the left. It's awesome what you are doing man. I dont have the ability to get out and explore like you, so please keep the videos coming for all of us couch exploers 🤣. TH-cam only allows me to give one thumbs up, but I give you 1000 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The video speaks for it self... What an absolute amazing place... Thank you for showing us. Would this place being existing for many millions jears long.
Is it possible you are the first human in thousands of years to see and walk through that arch/tunnel?
Potentially. I saw 0 footprints and getting there was very sketchy.
All of those features have been extensively eroded by moving water. None of the holes look manmade.
It would be too dangerous for humans to live in that area as rain would flood them out
I went there in 97 .
Nah man not even the first. Back in 99 on vacation i hiked it and sat right to the left if that sandy tannish colored rock and smoked a huge doobie and got the munchies resorting to me having a mre out my pack.

i think this was done by water many years ago
I definitely wouldn’t want to be anywhere near there during monsoon season! SAR will probably find your body at Lake Powell or something.
We could do a picture explanation book together??? This is real and only smart people will think it thru others dismiss my work as it is very hard to believe but facts are facts.
Thank God no gold was found by the old timers..None of this beautiful stone structure would exist.,. Amazing the public hasn't been trashing the place...❤☝️🤗🙏🌹

Hi! Hiking out there by yourself is very dangerous. I doubt there is a cell tower nearby in case of an emergency. Do you take a satellite phone? You should if you continue this lone hiking. That said, I love this video. I am a retired geologist and specialized in sedimentary rocks for my masters. I am also from that kind of country (Arizona) but now live in Florida. Life takes you around! Thank you for recording this stupendous trek. I discovered previously never seen dinosaur tracks near the LSU geology field camp in Colorado in 1973. The former beach sediments were vertical now, and I was digging out the interbedded shale looking for depositional structures. Then when a big chunk fell away, there was a tri-toed dinosaur footprint about as big as my hand with fingers spread on the surface face of the sandstone bed. I took photos, but was not able to pursue this further because I was an undergrad student on an assignment that was not paleontology! Unlike what you found, the toes were in a v-shape. I was the first anything to see it in about at least 65 million years! I was awed! Not being a paleontologist, I cannot help you identify what you saw. It was definitely a footprint, though.

Getting pumped when I see a new vid from you man, great work again!
Stoked to see your comment! Thanks man lots more headed your way.
Roger from mudfossel university wants to do a collaboration with you bro! Make it happen...I'll watch for sure!
That's funny I was going to leave a comment and tell him to go to Mud fossil University and share the pictures and the video with Rodger! I couldn't help thinking that it was a living beast at one time a giant with the living DNA I'm not joking did you notice the anise :-)😊
Me too! I thought must send this to Roger, I would love to know what he thinks! Amazing find… can’t wait for pt 2 - is it out already?
@@jacekpalka55 Definitely!
What about your dog? No booties? What about when you have to climb steep walls?
I'm positive he would find all kinds of ridiculous ways to interpret these GEOLOGICICAL formations, not a one of them being correct in the slightest. He's a legit loony and I feel bad for him because it is obvious he believes what he is talking about. He will entertain anything but the most rational, simple explanation. I will say that he has mastered the art of fleecing the gullible for views and a minimal income, though. He puts more effort into crackpot theories than I ever put into my full time job for an honest paycheck. By the way, it is spelled Mudfossil, not mudfossel. Spelling is important if you want people to pay any attention to what you have to say.
Wow. Absolutely stunning. Thank you for doing this. I am a lady of a certain age with a partially torn ligament that I am hoping heals without surgery sitting here watching you bring the world into my life. Technology and good people equals amazing.
Thank you. I have had alot of ligament injuries myself. Keep moving, stretch, and stay active and I think you will start to feel better. Motion is lotion!
Incredible landscape . Thanks for taking us on a journey into a real wonderland. I get the impression that these formations were created by an ancient inland sea that carved out these fantastic forms.
Definitely a large part of the erosion process. and thank you!!
Thank you for taking us to these places with you, please stay safe
Great video! When you entered the area and I saw the arch I got super excited, even more so when I saw there wasn't a fire ring and ton of litter. Great Job, Stay Safe out there!
Just WOW!! What an absolutely ✨magical✨ location I am blown away… love to see more and love your channel…!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌎
Finding what may have been some petroglyph carved into the stone was cool. I wonder if it was symbolic, or perhaps a rough map?
I do a lot of hiking and a good trick I have found is to take a small drone with me, nothing special just something that can give me a view of the land I am hiking on when I come to rough places like this. Not like the one you filmed with, just a small pocket sized one with like a 100 meter range. That way I can plot the best course from the air and find the easiest path and identify any potential problems ahead of me like any dangerous animals or obstacles.
Spectacular scenery and amazing trek. Love that you're out there with your pup.
Agreed 👍
Thank you! Pretty sure he loves it more than I do 🐕
Awesome! Thanks for letting us tag along!
Anytime 🫡
You have a good energy dude. Keep up the adventures.
Hey thanks. Were on it
Wow, du bist cool, da geht unser Herz wieder auf in dieser Zeit. Love you man 🐾🥳👍😘
Can’t wait for Mudfossil University “Rockn Roger” to discern this!Thanks bro 👍🤠
Super cool video, thanks for sharing 😊
Wow! That geology is magnificent! And your dog is amazing! Thank You for sharing this beautiful trip. And Thank You for caring about our planet and picking up that trash. 💙😊
Thanks for let me tag along, just another place I'll never go. I loved going with you
Definitely stacked rocks under the overhang when you were saying "No stacked rocks" lol 👍🏻👍🏻
...maybe
Super rad dude! Love following your channel! Love, M & A
❤️ Thx Legends
Love your adventures , however every time you look over an endless cliff drop , I’m the one who takes the Fall !!! Terrifying !!!!
Being from the UK we don't have this landscape always fascinating to see 👍
Cheers m8
The geology story is of an inland sea millions of years ago. Then Plate Tectonics lifting the North American plate around 100 million years ago and forming the Rockies and the Sierra Nevada's around 93Mya, @20mya the Pacific Plate hit NA and the San Andreas Fault began pushing California NW and pulling open the Basin and Range Province.
Nice find!! You really do a good job of showing us what we want to see in the areas you go!
I LOVE the background storm/rain. It's absolutely my favorite sound. 😍
I heard that just in a part near the end when views from up high were filmed. I think it may be the sound of his camera drone. I thought it was rain at first too.
Me too. We just got rain for the first time this winter... Made me think it would be nice in the vid. Subtle nod to how all this was created
Casually places hand in petrified dinosaur footprint like it happens everyday. 😂
present Nolan can be pretty amazed at how oblivious past Nolan is
Giant structure melted by electrical storms..have done a lot of exploring all over this great land with my dog and a couple different Hondas🤙🏽love your style man! Keep up the great work..also I pick up trash everywhere I go too. Never stop doing that..remember all girls like it but the right one will actually follow your lead and stop and help you when she see you doing it
So true. It's an Electric Universe.
Lance, Thank you for more advebture. Reallu like your format. especially like Tui and he make the show. And the droinesanship is so well done.
That's a pretty cool. I've done this around Northern Ontario but there's not much to see on google maps other than forest and lakes.
Iv spent quite aa lot of time in Algonquin. Absolutely so much to see there
My playground is the Crown Land just outside of Algonquin. Just a few miles away, outside of Pembroke, there are places to find arrow heads if you know where to look. The indigenous people have lived here unbroken for over 5000 years. @@the_pov_channel
Just subscribed, keep them comming you are doing a great job. Your dog loves it too. Stay safe.
That was awesome. Thank you brother.
Awesome trek and discovery! Thanks for caring! Awesome photography!
Such a beautiful landscape! Never seen anything like that before.
Beautiful scenery! Thank you very much for sharing your day :-)
Really well done with the rain sounds. Stunning
Glad that was appreciated. Music is difficult and frustrating on TH-cam with all the copyrights and whatnot...
@@the_pov_channelthat was a cool touch 😎
The Pauly Shore of weird shit.. man you are going to find something one of these days that is over the top.. Your dedication to this is inspiring.. And the video is great too.. 👊

God's flood, but the sentiment is true
I discovered you today and I have seen 5 of your videos in a row, congratulations!!!! I have subscribed.
Epic thanks!!
I could not relax, worrying about the safety of your dog.
W O W 😮 ! THAT IS SO AUSOM ! 🎉 ON A NEATHER PLANET ! YOU ARE SO BLESSED TOO FIND THAT PLACE !
Also, could the "S" carved in the rock with lines under it be the native American symbol for Water? They used to draw maps and in an area like that it'd be even more important to show where water is at on a map.
It is just geology, not man made.
Love the view
@@Willy_Tepes How do you know? It looks like there's a triangle, an S, and parallel lines all beside each other there.
@@dez6278 because if you look at the other rocks in the area, they all have these types of "engravings". Given the topography, it's likely from water run off over thousands of years. It stands to reason that, given enough random attempts, nature will formulate some shapes that trigger our modern brains to see something that isn't there. Also, along those same lines, given all of the other natural designs and lines in the area, it's unlikely ancient people would have made a marker to something as important as water among all those other natural designs where it could easily blend in and be overlooked. They'd place it somewhere distinctively and clearly as is seen at other sites.
@@dez6278yeah I really wish he filmed there a bit longer. I wanted more screen shots. The upper left looks like a hand but he stopped filming. Humans lived in these area for eons, so I always look at different ideas. Either way they are so beautiful!
I was an archaeological surveyor and still live in this region for many years. Not necessarily alien, but non-human habitat builders would explain a lot and I think your instincts are right on. Why is it that the rest of the world was moving toward the iron age while at the same time these isolated 'societies' lived in some kind of advanced 'stone age'??? There are virtually no petroglyphs of humans yet other species and animals are depicted in great detail everywhere you go. Only human hands are shown that are clearly human. It is a real mystery. Great exploration. Enjoy it while your young enough to do it and love your trail buddy because you can't repeat these good times with your little buddy when your older like me. I miss my dog most of all. All about the love in the end man. cheers ..... (-:
I wish you would have shown all of the petroglyphs longer. They were amazing and would have told us something
What part of the video are the petroglyphs shown? I’ve watched the video twice and could not find it.
That’s the most surreal landscape. It would be part of a national park almost anywhere else.
Agreed. Fortunately there are lots and lots of places like this in national parks that are much easier to get to.
The whole Four Corners part of America is mind bogglingly beautiful. You can't look around without seeing something spectacular.
And it doesn't stop there, the Ancestral Puebloan culture left ruins all over the area. There are dinosaur tracks everywhere too.
Absolutely fabulous !!
Too cool, makes me wonder exactly how they were eroded. Looks like a lot more than just normal rain and wind.
It always baffles me.
Water. Duh.
Ancient great floods.
honestly im commenting before the video finishes but if you look more its a very good area for small civilizations, strategic area, great discoveries my man!
There may have been two tracks. One you put your hand in and just to the left.😮
And one further up, if you continue in the video after I pause it
Fascinating every time I’m drawn into the reality that some people were living or using the areas that you and others find and show me.
Every old/ancient culture has a similar flood myth. Those drains/arches could have been formed during those times.
Nah, only cultures near flooding waterways have those myths, and these features take a very long time to form.
Loved this place Nolen? Hope that's right ... I can't wait till part 2 , you are fearless !✌❤🤗🤗. So is your super dog .
At a number of points I see you walk past atleast 5.meteorites bro you
That area was part of an inland sea millions of years ago
love your work! this place is awesome
Muchas Gracias. All credit goes to nature for being so damn amazing
3:02, the best part!
For sure!
Love your video. Thanks for sharing. What your doing is the same as I was doing some 60 to 65 hears ago. We didn't have Google Earth then, but the exploring the wilds was the best. Again, thanks for what your doing.
Those are LITHIFIED sand dunes, not petrified sand dunes. Petrification requires organic material. Silica is non organic, hence lithification, not petrified.
What an awesome place! Did you notice that the arch/tunnel you walked through had a trail all the way through it in the very center, like it was etched into the sandstone? That "S" you saw was likely a depiction of a snake or river. I suppose it's possible that nature could have carved it, but it looked to me to have been carved by human hands. What a fun place. Thanks for picking up.
natural. c'mon
@@standingbear998 Says you.
Que lindo tu compañero de aventuras 🐕❤.
I'd be looking for stashed treasure there. Maybe the "S" is a clue! I'm so impressed you younger gens are adventuring this way and grateful you're taking us along! Be careful out there. Do you have a satellite phone? 😉💜
I just love your dog ! Love, love, love ! (Also u filmed the best landscape I've ever seen )
Beautiful, well behaved dog and lovely markings , stunning scenery !! 👍👍
Dogs that are bonded never leave you. I had ten at one time and they never saw a leash in their lives.
Very beautiful!! Looks like a place where a rock could fall on your arm and trap you from being able to move! Be careful! Love your hiking partner!
Thank you for tidying up nature's environmental tidy very good civic mindedness 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
its a giant petrified tree stump, you can even see the old root system (whit lines through the rock)
All of those rocks were stacked in a suspicious way. It's definitely a dwelling. They didn't fall in that hole and stack themselves up like that, lol
You might be right but it looked naturally occurring to me in the moment. looked like a product of erosion
@the_pov_channel you definitely got a better look at them than I did lol. A bit suspect to me, specifically the little stack on the left. It's awesome what you are doing man. I dont have the ability to get out and explore like you, so please keep the videos coming for all of us couch exploers 🤣. TH-cam only allows me to give one thumbs up, but I give you 1000 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Put a wind-fuzzy on your microphone.
Beautiful Ausi!
Thanks for sharing bro! Greetings from Puerto Rico!
Good video, but 7:19 if its this close to a road I'm not so sure you are the first to see it
Do you camp overnight also? Just found you’re channel…amazing places and great videos!
The video speaks for it self...
What an absolute amazing place...
Thank you for showing us.
Would this place being existing for many millions jears long.
Swiss cheese canyon.
Thank you for allowing me to share your adventure!
