Backpacking UTAH Anasazi Ruins! | REMOTE Country!

Videos like this make me miss my home land. Grew up in San Juan County UT and spent every weelenk hiking and exploring these canyons and ruins. They are a great treasure.

I thought I heard you say you thought Chaco Canyon was in Arizona. Chaco is actually in New Mexico and well worth the visit.

Beautiful. Glad you have a friend with you. Safer that way Chris. I really enjoy your shows.

Amazing ruins. What a hike! Thank you for sharing this video.

Always enjoy your adventures! Thanks for inspiring and keeping it real! Nothing better than getting out and exploring nature.

Thank you so much for sharing this very cool spot with us. I have longed to go myself, but am disabled and can't make that kind of trip. Thank you so much for sharing these unique sacred historical places that I love ♥️

Thank you for sharing. It's truly an awesome place. Awesome as always, Chris. 🤗 HUGS 🤗

Really cool ruins - thanks for sharing - all the best!

You've had some amazing experiences.

Really cool to see the history of ancient civilizations. I remember something about the Anasazi relocating elsewhere due to droughts. Hoping to grt the chance to see ruins like that in person someday. Thanks for bringing us along!

It is amazing to see the canyons, the rocks, the plants, the history, thankyou for showing us. All the best from the U.K.

Great Filming! Been watching a few of your videos now, they are enjoyable to watch, awesome content your put out. Thanks for sharing your experience. From the North 🇨🇦🤟🏽👍🏽

If I had to guess, I would think those long, narrow notches in the rock were used to sand and straighten bows and arrows, also spear shafts. Like you mentioned, also to sharpen wooden implements. The knowledge those people had was incredible. Amazing!!

Beautiful ancient ruins. Not many people see these!

One of my favorite videos yet. Super, super cool! Chris, if you ever find yourself in South Carolina - would love to meet up and hear about your trips!

Just an FYI for anybody watching the video to gather intel for the hike. Backpacking in the canyon requires a permit from the BLM office. Day hiking does not require a permit. I personally have done this hike as an in and out and its pretty easy. There is camping at the trailhead. An added bonus for doing it as a day hike is that #1 you can carry much less stuff and #2 is that campfires are not allowed below the rim ( stoves are ok ) but are ok above the rim ( providing conditions are ok )   This kiva is ok to enter ( it is 1 of 2 ok to enter ) and the roof has been reinforced but please try to refrain from walking on it except to enter or exit. Camping on the rim is dispersed and there is a small fee that can be paid at kiosks located near the main road. They just recently raised the rate but I was just there a few weeks ago and I got 1 week for $10 Take only pictures and leave only footprints. Enjoy

Very beautiful and interesting location Chris! Thank you for sharing it with us. Safe trails!

This reminds me of the videos from Ron Wyatt an amateur archaeologist and nurse anesthetist found Sodom and Gomorrah. The ruins looked very similar to this but they were made of ash and had big balls of sulfur in the ash. At 12:00 there appears to be a door and door casing.

Chris you remind me of my self. When I used to hike 🚶‍♂️ and work in the land what I call home. Fixing them ruines in the canyons. And making them landers so them people could get to them. Benjamin pavisook. Towaoc Colorado Thank you.

Very cool adventure. Good going!!!
