👍How to be a respectful visitor to these places👍
Native American groups still live in this area and beyond today. These places are still special and hold significance.
1️⃣Don't climb on walls or structures. Don't lean on or climb over them. Many places don't even need to be visited up close. View these places from a distance or with binoculars.
2️⃣Do not touch the rock art. Don't touch or create new rock art to preserve ancient stories.
3️⃣ Leave All Artifacts. Leave artifacts and structures undisturbed to maintain their historical significance. It is illegal and wrong to take artifacts. If you want something to take home, support local tribes by buying their handicrafts and jewelry.
4️⃣ Manage Waste Responsibly. Use waste bags; don't leave human or pet waste behind. Don't 'go' near cultural sites.
5️⃣ Camp With Care. Don't camp near historical sites. No fires near these areas, and ensure all waste is packed out. Don't make fires in caves or alcoves. Camp in designated spots only. When you leave, make sure to make the site cleaner and better than when you found it. Pick up extra trash you may see.
6️⃣ Control Your Pets. Don't let pets roam freely near archaeological areas to prevent destruction. Pets are not allowed in or near sites.
7️⃣ Preserve Fragile Areas. Don't disturb fossils and please protect delicate soil and plant life.
8️⃣ Follow Rules. Don't engage in illegal actions such as building cairns, or using climbing gear to access archaeological sites.
9️⃣ Obey Drone Rules and Laws. Numerous locations in the American Southwest and beyond, such as the Navajo Reservation, Wilderness Study Areas, and various restricted spaces, enforce strict drone usage prohibitions. It is crucial to not only honor the legacy of the people who once inhabited these areas but also show respect for the present-day residents and adhere to their local laws, customs and regulations.

NOTE: I don't claim that I am the first person to "discover" these places. I just find things on Google Earth and want to go see what they are!
I do not claim to be an expert on anthropology, geology, or archaeology. I say that my channel is about "amateur archaeology". I don't have a degree or formal training in archaeology. I am just a hiker who loves to explore and see new things especially the ancient history in the American Southwest. This is what my channel is about. I hope you stick around and explore with me!
I do not give out locations to the places in my videos. I take seriously the responsibility to protect and respect these ancient places. If you do find/visit one of these locations, please visit respectfully. I try my best to hide noticeable landmarks, mountains, and canyons in my vide

Anybody else caught the snake at 5m52s
-
I'm glad you took a friend along with you on this one. It was awesome.
-
If I concentrate I can smell the fresh air that is scented with sage that you're in up there❤
-
Disabled senior here and love going on your adventures. TY
-
The elk are a clue. They’re all hunting blinds and water pools. No pottery, no fire evidence. Temporary. Great adventure!
-
Umm, did you not see the SNAKE at 5:51?
-
As a retired elk hunter I'm thinking hunting blinds for game and the walls ALONG the the ridge to channel game to ambush blinds
-
The close proximity to the game trail leads me to believe that these structures were hunting blinds. They would lay in wait for an animal to get near then strike as a group. With everything so wide open they would have had to stay hidden to successfully hunt. Great Job!
-
Note the location at the confluence of three valleys providing a view to all of the main access areas. Wonderful defensive, observation position.
-
Gopher Snake (Pituophis catenifer) at 5:50. Also known as Bullsnake. This very large constrictor is common throughout the southwest. Also regarding the leaking water bladder, always carry an empty spare bladder for exactly this reason, an empty water bladder only adds a few more ounces to your backpack and takes up almost no space, and could save your life.

Great adventure! Coffee and watching the scenery on Saturday morning! Thanks

I'm sure the camera couldn't capture the grandeur of this as in person....but wow, what a place! Thank you so much for pushing on to reach that destination. Our world is so incredible.

“It’s worth crossing the river.” Words to live by.
-
The walls of this canyon remind me of a great hall within a gigantic cathedral. No doubt that architects have been inspired by Mother Nature's beautiful design. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. I wish you all the safest of journey's my friends. ✌🚶
-
I love Trek the planner. Best videos ever

Wow what an amazing landscape - not somewhere to take lightly so having a companion was a good move. The ancient spirits obviously took against your cell phone and drone ! Well done for persevering , we all appreciate it.
