Video note: at around 4:45 mark, I say that the rock art looks like “sheep”, but after looking over the footage again, they don’t look like sheep, but rather another type of animal like deer or something.

👍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 videos.

I dont know anything about these ancient peoples, however as a bushcrafter I can tell you that burning the ends of wood that are going into the ground is considered a method of preservation to waterproof it, and also that cutting large timbers with stone tools is lots of work, but fire will cut it for you with minimal labor. Just some of the potential reasons for the burnt timbers.

“Be the good in somebody else’s bad day.” That’s a great quote! This was a wonderful adventure. Thanks for sharing it.

You know whats crazy is they got us believing we can’t be explorers like the days of past almost like we already explored everything there’s nothing else to uncover but than we have videos like this one and it absolutely shows how LITTLE we really know about the land we all call home. Extremely interesting stuff man keep it up please ‼️

You are a great kid! And you are a kid to me because this year, I will check off 74 years of being on planet earth! Thanks for being so respectful of the environment and the artifacts and ruins. We have many, many people who are not. Your parents did an excellent job of raising you! This was a great adventure. It would have been a very beautiful place for the people who lived there many years ago!❤
-
I love our hikes young man! You make them so interesting. I'm 75 and I always enjoyed exploring in my younger years. Thanks for taking us along!
-
What a lovely attitude you have. So kind and respectful. What you captured is amazing. I can only imagine actually being there, just the birds the vibrant colours and wall art. Yes , I could live there too. Love what you do so we are able to see this part of the world. You’re a fantastic role model to us all. Take care my friend.
-
I am impressed with the deep respect you have for these sites. Thank you for sharing your finds with us. I love traveling with you each week. Keep it up!

I spent 10 years working in the largest wilderness area in the lower 48 states in Montana and while most may laugh at some wilderness laws, I love that you are honoring them, wilderness is a gift most will never understand or even ever visit. Thank you.
-
You are right. That place is an archeological treasure. Still so intact. Beautiful area. It would be nice to go back in time to truly see how they lived.
-
Very cool Jeff. Great ending message too
-
The burnt logs remind me of the ancient Japanese Shou sugi ban technique. Could that even be possible? The burnt logs were more impervious to insects and rot while touching the ground. Cool finds again! Great advice too!! 🙏 Thank you!
-
Jeff I love watching your videos. Your awe and respect for these ruins is enjoying to see. I’ve always wanted to hike through canyons looking for ruins. I’m 72 and unable to do it now. You provide this adventure for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Good for you, I know you have children. No one can expect their children to follow the rules, or have a good moral compass if their parents don't teach them both verbally and through actions. It's good to see that there is still good people like you teaching what's right and what's wrong. You will be blessed even when you don't realize it. I really enjoy your channel. Thank for sharing
-
Aren't enough words in the world to describe how much I appreciate you taking us along on your adventures.!
-
"Be the good in someone else's bad day" What a wonderful thought, Thanks for telling me something that I'll remember forever.
-
Sometimes when I’m feeling down and having a bad day, I look at one of your videos. The steep red rocks, cactus and desert plants take me far away from whatever is going on in my life. Then there are the long-abandoned settlements that fill me with curiosity about how the heck did they build those places so high up. I mean, seriously, how did they get there? So, thank you. And stay safe.
-
Thanks J ❤. The 3D is great, gives another look of the ruins.
-
Thanks for taking us along. Just think about how difficult it was living there but without other reference they didn’t know that. Really hard to wrap one’s brain around it all. Thanks again for sharing.
-
There is a Japanese technique to burn wood for preservation. Great adventure!
-
Your 3D models are great and give another insight to the ruins for me! Thanks👍👍😁
