That ruin is amazing, great masonry work! But it does make you wonder why they were so remote, getting water and food must have taken so long for the people living there. Great job filing the hike and the perils of getting off the trails out there, your foot slipping on the rocks was terrifying.
Amazing views! Enjoying your channel. Thank you for not disclosing place of these ruins. Makes finding them even more special. It is so nice Tina hiked this trail also. Best wishes. 🙂
Thanks for sharing and I dont blame you one bit for not wanting tell folks exactly where these sites are. I came across this channel via a friend while we were researching our own trip in this area and I'm looking forward to catching up on your adventures. Safe travels and be well.
How bad is it after this parking area versus the bit where it starts getting bad about a mile or two before here? This is as far in as I've gone on it.
We love yours videos so much we visited some beautiful place am glad to see you on top the mountaintop to many time than you for any information how to get in this beautiful place see you en the next video
Very cool. Thanks for making the video. I've wondered the same myself. If memory serves, they're thought to be the Salado people. My working theory is their communities were kept small to not overtax the fauna and game in the various areas. But, because their communities were small, defense was high on the list of priorities. I think they made themselves hard to find and, if found, hard to attack.. We probably will never know for sure. I'm always open to what other people think.
First, just want to say how much we enjoy your videos. They are very informative, well done and a joy to watch! You guys remind me of me and my husband hiking, "he likes to poke the bear" too haha! Thank you for showing these amazing ruins, this hike looks like one we will definitely forego as it looks like hell but THOSE RUINS!!! Great job!
Thanks! Glad you like the videos. Half the fun is poking the bear for sure. But Tina knows what she got into with me. The ruins were amazing. There are so many out there, but these are some of the best I've seen. Being really hard to get to helps.
Your videos are awesome. I’m quickly becoming a fan! I was pleasantly surprised to realize I have been to these ruins before several years ago.. I know where they are ;)
@@JerryArizona oh no, there's no way. The ruins you visited are much more remote. You'd have no trouble reaching the one's I shared. Happy to give you the name in a pm, if you want it.
Don't you dare take her side on this! We've had (too many) debates about the proper way to give the finger. I feel you fully curl your other fingers into a fist to accentuate the middle finger; she thinks you're supposed to bend them at the second knuckle. She's obviously wrong.....Hmmm. This may be a great example of why she gives me the finger so often.
So Jerry and Tina, I really think that Toyota should be giving you a Toyota 4Runner get you one at cost ( actual cost from Toyota themselves) as you are basically promoting them through the adventures you are taking. Seriously I think that Toyota should consider this!
I try to judge based on the trail. Well worn, well signed and busy trail? I'm not giving away any secrets. Empty, hard to follow and faint trail? I'm not going to be the one to spoil it. Especially with ruins as intact as these were.
@@JerryArizona This is the first time I have seen one of your videos. I ran across it while searching for Ancient Geoglyphs. Thank you for your videos and appreciate the work you guys put into your channel. Like MarleyMae, I agree that it is imperative to keep the location of sites like this as discrete as possible. In the early-mid 1980's, I was blessed to be among a small group of underwater cave explorers in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. Today, there are parking lots with vendor shops surrounding the cave entrances. The cave structure has been seriously damaged due to the traffic. Also, due to our exploration of the underwater caves, that no one had ever been, resulted in the discovery of a small blind crustacean, Remipedia, that were thought to be extinct. The Remipedia could only survive in a unique environment called "Halocline" which is an area of approximately 3' thick where freshwater & saltwater meet. I recall that the biology community was so excited to get live specimens of Remipedia that we would carry small glass vials and chase the elusive creatures in the hopes of having our bar tabs paid for. I say all this to share the fact that the Remipedia, despite being thought to be extinct, were living unfettered in their undiscovered environment, until we stumbled across them in our explorations. The Remipedia survived in a fragile environment and it is my belief that the handful of specimens we harvested had little to do with their ultimate demise. Unfortunately, no one, including the so called biological experts, expected that fish from the cave entrances would follow the divers deep into the caves and kill of 99% of the Remipedia population. There is no scientific paper or news story that you would ever find this information and I am not sure why I took the time to share it. I hope it helps to back up MarleyMae's comment.
I love all of your videos! Thankyou!! I am supposed to take my niece on her first backpacking trip, late May, West rim of Zion! Not looking so good, right now...Any suggestions???
Yeah, we have Narrows permits the same timeframe. Might not happen. It'll be pretty hot that time of year. Not sure where you are coming from, but you may want to check into Coyote Gulch. No advance permits (sign at the trailhead) required. Water most of the way (depending on where you go in/out) and it's got some really good scenery. I think (not sure) the area is currently open.
Look up Middleofwherever. They have a video where they backpacked in 40 mile gulch, packrafted across Lake Powell...then I think they came out Coyote Gulch (maybe vice versa). Looked absolutely epic.
Why they lived up in the cliffs is because of other raiding bands from other tribes and the other threat was back in the day human giants were a very real threat and they were cannibalistic so high dwellings formed a source of protection.
How do you think she feels? She has to deal with all the things you're dealing with plus listen to you complain about all the things that you're dealing with.
I don’t understand why you don’t have more subscribers. Your videos are no bs and straight to the point. Love the channel!
Thanks for the compliment! Honestly, I never expected to have this many subscribers. Pretty thankful that people watch.
Really beautiful ruin...thank you

Love the Sierra Anchas.
Been down that road many times on my deer hunts. Thanks for the video.

Love that area! The CF ruin is still on my hit list.

Can't imagine living in the cliff and trying to get water and food daily, very good videos thank you.
That's what we always say. Maybe it was the kids' punishment to fetch water? Bet they were well behaved if that was the case.
Your videos are awesome. I’m quickly becoming a fan! I was pleasantly surprised to realize I have been to these ruins before several years ago.. I know where they are ;)
Awesome, as always! I just started my own series on the SAW Ruins. Can't wait to see them all!
Just saw it. Your video was right across from this if I have the site right. Haven't done that one yet.
@@JerryArizona oh no, there's no way. The ruins you visited are much more remote. You'd have no trouble reaching the one's I shared. Happy to give you the name in a pm, if you want it.
She knows how to flick off someone. Very rare have I seen that!! I like it

Thank you for the info!!! I love finding ruins, it’s a shame that there a very little history though:/
So Jerry and Tina, I really think that Toyota should be giving you a Toyota 4Runner get you one at cost ( actual cost from Toyota themselves) as you are basically promoting them through the adventures you are taking. Seriously I think that Toyota should consider this!
I wish. I'm thinking they wouldn't take my calls.....And even though we both have Toyotas (she has the 4Runner, I have a Tacoma.)
I genuinely appreciate that you don't give an exact location! Things like this should remain relatively unknown if possible

Awesome ruins! Way to bring a poncho.
The ruins amazing me! Wonder how long they have been standing there? Another amazing video, thank you!
Also have permits, for Paria, late June...might be a little much for her first trek...
You doing the whole thing from Wire Pass or Whitehouse to Lee's Ferry?
Yes, sir...did it last year in 50 hours! Not something I would likely subject my niece too
I love all of your videos! Thankyou!! I am supposed to take my niece on her first backpacking trip, late May, West rim of Zion! Not looking so good, right now...Any suggestions???

Coyote gulch has been on my bucket list, for years!!!
Look up Middleofwherever. They have a video where they backpacked in 40 mile gulch, packrafted across Lake Powell...then I think they came out Coyote Gulch (maybe vice versa). Looked absolutely epic.
Why they lived up in the cliffs is because of other raiding bands from other tribes and the other threat was back in the day human giants were a very real threat and they were cannibalistic so high dwellings formed a source of protection.
Hopefully, this is all over by the fourth of july...so we can celebrate our freedom....
Almost 12 minutes of to-and-from, with about 2 minutes of actual ruin footage.
How do you think she feels? She has to deal with all the things you're dealing with plus listen to you complain about all the things that you're dealing with.
Keep this one a secret
Yeah. I actually took down a video I made about another place nearby because it gave too much info.
