I re-visit a dangerous, mysterious and seemingly impossible to reach cliff dwelling I found while hiking over a year ago. I investigated the area closer via Google Earth and topographic maps. I set out on a harrowing journey into the ancient past. Join me on this exciting adventure in the canyon country!

I have become more acrophobic in recent years, but I have always been nervous around edges (since a scaffold collapsed under me, dropping me 30’ onto a rough surface), and in particular LOOSE surfaces. Those rather steeply tilted ledges covered with loose rock definitely make me nervous! I know, step between the loose rocks, on solid rock, etc., but one wrong step could sent one skittering over a 40’ brink, to you know what most likely! If I was doing that work, I’d want protection. I would probably rappel down from above if possible… as part of an approach or directly.

So I instantly looked up what cryptobiotic soil is and it blew my mind. For anyone who did not look it up and boy, is that interesting stuff! It grows no more than 1 millimeter a year, which means it takes over 25 years to grow only one inch! Let that sink in, so 1 foot takes over 300 years. 300! And it is destroyed with only one footstep on it. Thank you for pointing this out! I never heard of anything like this. Mother Earth is magical ❤

@oldtop4682 6 ай бұрын

The main approach to this site was most likely from the top originally. That's where the farms were for a lot of the area. Everyone likes to look down into the valleys and thing that they only farmed there (and in some cases that is true), but don't look up on top of the mesas and points. If you know how to spot pit houses, you could probably find a bunch up on top there somewhere. The cliff dwellings came later. As for water - someone below mentions the drought that hit these people. There were water sources available that are no longer there. Also, if you look on top of the cliffs you can find little depressions that collect rain water - and these folks built dams to collect runoff. It wasn't an easy life, but it was their reality. You are the second channel I have subscribed to that looks for and explores these sites. I explored the region a lot when I was young, and seeing these videos brings back fond memories for me. Love the 4 corners region - that red dirt gets in your shoes and you can never leave that area behind after that.

During the period of habitation, the climate was ideal for growing crops, hunting game, raising wild turkeys and living in permanent dwellings. A similar situation existed on the Nebraska prairie in the 1880s. Abundant rainfall provided a limitless opportunity to grow kitchen gardens and provide turf for building sod homes. Buffalo chips provided enough fuel for cooking and heating also. It was a prairie Eden until climate change made eeking out a living impossible.

It's fun to see your thought process in puzzling out the access route, and how much we think alike. The site has so many beautifully preserved details of the construction. I share your awe and wonder when visiting these sites. We're so lucky to have this history preserved in the American Southwest - like and outdoor museum.

Not a T shaped door or window, the lentil has fallen out of the structure. It is curious why so many small units of people found the most hard to access places to dwell. Most of the cliff dwellings were only occupied for a short time, a single generation or so, considering all the work it took to create them, There had to be a reliable water source somewhere near by. Between 900 and 1200 ad there was a series of lengthy droughts throughout the southwest around the same time the Dineh/Navajo/ Apache peoples and others started migrating into or through the area, Many of the Pueblo peoples migrated down to the Rio Grande valley where a year round secure water source was available coming out of the Rocky Mountains Some migrated farther down into what is today Mexico After 1200 people started coming back north.

@Desert.Drifter 6 ай бұрын

Ah good to know westho, thanks for sharing. I’m always trying to learn more about these places. When you say “lentil”, do you mean a wooden cross piece? I see those often in structures

@user-jd9kg3pd9z 6 ай бұрын

Lentil in construction terminology refers to the horizontal crosspiece above the door. Usually a load bearing beam of some kind: wood, stone or steel. Threshold is the opposite. This is the stone or bricks you step over as you pass through the door. In religious ceremonies these are important elements. The vertical supports are called the doorposts. Newlyweds often times have a ceremony of new bridegroom carrying his bride across the threshold of their new household. Another example is the night before Moses led the children out of Egypt Moses instructed everyone to sacrifice a lamb (for their Passover feast) and paint the doorposts and lentils of their home with blood from the sacrificial lamb. This was done to ward off the Passover angel of the Lord. The homes of the Egyptians that did not have these painted lintels lost their first born sons that night. From the palace of Pharaoh to the roster in the barnyard. Long story short these 4 elements ( lintel, door, 2 door posts, threshold ) are symbolically important and structurally important. I hope you find this interesting. Pete

@bethbartlett5692 6 ай бұрын

Well noted, I agree, yet it seems odd that it came out of an otherwise "in-tack wall". That confounds me a bit.

@westho7314 6 ай бұрын

@@bethbartlett5692 Yes odd indeed, especially considering the good exterior condition of all 3 rooms & windows. As Desert Drifter noted the small size of the window-door for access, the average height for a female i those times was 4'10"- 5' and a male 5'-5'4"more or less. My guess is a mindless pot hunter/looter likely pulled out the lentil to have a larger hole & easier access to the room & likely found nothing inside. that's likely why the other 2 windows remained unmolested .I imagine if one looked around at the bottom of the cliff, a whole or broken sandstone lentil could be found. So many of the thousands of ruins throughout the southwest have been found, looted & vandalized in the past 130 years, Ever since the 1st so called archeologists/treasure hunters like Richard Wetherwill started looking for ruins, digging up graves in earnest to sell the prize pieces found to museums and private collectors. Sadly this looting, desecration and vandalism is still going on today by scoundrels supplying themselves & black market private collectors with artifacts..

The Incas built terraces around most of their settlements. These were partly to increase farmable land and partly as defensive steps where they as defenders could hurl projectiles down from against invaders. While the Pueblonans were likely mostly peaceful agrarian farmers, other tribes were more militant hunter-gatherers who would have seen them as easy targets for raids, etc... hence the need for fortifications and cliffed dwellings.

I am really enjoying the videos of your hikes. And being a woman of 60 I don’t think I’m gonna climb down walls like that to get into look at those homes. So thank you very much for taking us for you. Love and showing us why it’s so incredibly beautiful.

I have been backtracking and watching all of your travels. I was born in Southern Utah in Kanab and have only been back passing through on trips a couple of times. It has been my lifelong dream to go back at at least do some camping in Zion and Bryce. I love living vicariously through you on your adventures as I am now 65 and if I do get back there won't be much hiking going on. The history of that whole region is so interesting. Thank you for your videos and stories - I love them.

Really touched by your pondering thoughts in the last minute of this video. Profoundly haunting! The where and when of a person's life and external world circumstances and that survival always remains the number one human imperative.

I am so glad that you are a climber and can get to these remote access areas. When I was younger my passion was to bushwhack and free climb to remote areas to see what few others had enjoyed. Thanks for taking us along.
