I appreciate you recording the hike along with the dwellings. I'm 60 with health issues and your video is the only way I'll ever see this. Thank you.

Tough hike but oh so beautiful! My husband and I used to have adventures like this but he has passed and I'm heading for 78. Thank you for allowing me to see this through your eyes!💕

At 70, I could never go on this type of adventure anymore. Watching you guys takes me there vicariously & I'm thoroughly enjoying the trip. Thank you.

You are a good big brother, acknowledging your brothers strength, encouraging and validating. It’s very nice to see.

That had to be a small tribe or small family who built this place over years and I'm sure they were safe from almost anyone!! What an incredibly wonderful place to hide in specially if it was cold outside and you had a nice warm fire inside there!! I imagine they could have lived there year-round if they wanted to cuz there's a lot of deer and squirrels and rabbits in the area. Anytime I see a place like this I just am blown away imagining what their lives must have been like?!? To live your entire life never hearing a single mechanical sound or a jet over head!

I'm 65 and can't hike anymore, thanks for all of this!

I am truly exhausted watching you guys climb. Hearing you breath really puts it into perspective the sheer climb you’ve been doing. I’m almost 65 and not in good health so this is the only way I’ll ever see this. So thank you for taking this incredible journey so we can appreciate this beautiful place.

I enjoyed your video very much. The first time I hiked Devil's was in 1989. It is REMOTE, amazing and incredibly beautiful. The hike is tough and dirty. It is a long way from anywhere on a rough road. There is no reliable cell service and if something happens someone will have to drive a significant way out to find service. At a minimum help will be many hours away. There is no easy place to land a helicopter. In warm weather you are more likely to run into a snake or two than not and the canyon is filled with poison ivy. This area can also receive snow in the winter. That all being said, if you are fit and prepared go for it because it's worth every ounce of energy. Please respect it. Thanks

I did that hike about 20 years ago. It was probably February are March. I could never imagine doing it in July I lived in Arizona from 96 to 08. Now I'm back in Florida again. I always regret not going to Pueblo runes Which is also in that same area

You two are making wonderful memories. I’m old and the older I get the more I remember of my healthy years. I loving watching people do what I used to do outdoors.

Thanks you guys for bringing back old memories. Never went where you just did but spent many weekends and such exploring much of Az. Hiked alot in the Sierra Anchas, Superstitions and mostly everywhere there. I now live in Iowa, where we don't have any mountains to block our view. Sarcasm. I was an archaeologist by passion. Spend a night in an old casa or ruin and it will help to awaken you in many ways. You seem respectful, keep up the journey and thanks from a fellow traveler.

When I was young, I had a little taste of hiking and mountain climbing, it was fun. However when you mention rattle snakes you lost me. I will let you have that hike. I am a 71 year old women, have trouble walking on level ground. I sure enjoy watching this, good luck.

Y'all make a very difficult trail look easy, and in 100+ heat. I'm not able to hike anymore so thank you for showing me this beautiful area and the amazing views.

I can certainly see why they went up there, the Safety, water, and hunting those mountains would’ve had plenty game, of all kinds

I’m getting too old to do a hard hike like this, therefore I really appreciate this video document you lads have produced. Thank you. What a trip it would be to spend the night up there… Take care you two and keep up the explorations. I’ll check out your book. Sincerely, Pete

So I went in for the historic journey, but left with something deep & tender. Best moment at 38:40 when brother kind of taps his fingers on the beam. I watched it over and over. Says it all is full of wonder. I love little moments like that. And how they tell eachother to be careful and watch out for snakes...no macho bs. And didnt edit out. Its refreshing. Brotherhood outshines the actual cliffdwelling. But it was cool too.

One of my easiest hikes yet.. glad I joined you guys.

That's a pretty gnarly hike... Walking out on that cliff ..dude.. You got balls that clank ..lol

Guys, I can t thank you enough for the tour. I am 70 and with the help of guys like you ,we can learn in life till that last moment . Be safe ❤,🙏🙏👍✌️🌎

Incredible how this was built out of nowhere and remains in such good condition now. It just takes your breath away! Thank you for putting in the time and work it took to hike there and sharing it! I’m a new sub today

At first my wife and I were all like why live so far up in the cliffs. Then we remembered about people. I am about to move into a cliff face.

Wow, that is a beautiful and challenging hike. Think it's just beyond my ability at this stage, unfortunately. I've done several ancient ruin hikes, but that one is really amazing! and I had never heard of it before. The trail by the ruins looked scary!! Thanks for sharing the scenery!

Best hike I've ever been on,wish we were friends when I was younger.

i cried tears watching this. thank you for sharing. those people worked hard! to survive. there must have been something going on to push them to such an extreme.

On a trip out west many years ago we visited ruins tours at several locations. I recall that the pueblo cliff style was so hot but a definite difference just ducking inside a chamber or room. Thru the centuries, people used ingenious methods to survive in their environments.

So cool!!!! I couldn’t wait till you got to the ruins. And you had the place to enjoy just the two of you. No crowds.

The water is sometimes running down that dry waterfall and you have to go on the left which is harder and it’s helpful to have the rope. When its dry you can go right up the middle or right with no rope.

Thanks for taking us with you on this hike to Devils Chasm in Arizona. I am enjoying the scenery, streams, trees, cliffs, rocks, and dwellings.. Can hardly believe the steepness that you guys are climbing. Such master builders in these ancient structures. They might have built up there for safety from their enemies. Thanks guys

If you keep it up you might be still going strong in 50 years. Don't stop. I'm 77 this year.

What a gorgeous place an amazing ruin. Thank you so much for sharing this. It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen.

I feel like I'm hiking with you and I need a rest! 😅 Hearing you breathe like that! I'm 68 and know I won't be hiking like that. Thank you for sharing. ❤

What an amazing hike! And the reward appears to be worth it. Just amazing that the ancients lived up there & traversed those very trails regularly. They must have been very strong & hardy people. Thanks for taking us along!

amazing footage, thanks for making this. can't believe this hasn't gotten more views yet. the T shaped windows are so bizarre

Thanks for taking us along. Hot hike but worth it .

Thank you guys for doing this video. I've lived out here for 20 years and always wanted to do this hike/canyoneering trek. I'm too old to do it now so it was nice to see it here on your channel.

Thank you so much for making these videos! They are excellent for guys like me that can’t hike like this any longer. Well made👍

I wish I knew guys like yourselves. People I know don’t like difficult hikes. Thanks so much for filming this. I absolutely love ruins and petroglyphs/pictographs. I will never probably see this one for sure. It seemed a bit out of my skill level. And the fact most of my hikes are solo. That was awesome!

Great video, 62 now and want to go hiking still. I need a pack mule ,because of knees , with luxury items, cot, ammo , tarp etc.

Thank you for hiking this for so many of us that all too old to go alone. The beauty is just breathe taking. I wouldn't have seen this without brave people like you.

It's no wonder Mount Whitney is so popular with its staging area near 8000 and the 14k peak taunting all as accessible😂... You took us on a very challenging hike, 😮 it presents all of the factors that get people lost, walking in circles and in over their head on a quest. ❤ Very inspiring videos, always.

Ancient civilizations didn’t build for view; they built for security against enemies. The more remote and defendable the better. Thanks.

Epic doesn't even come close... OMG...Thank you both for sharing this video.

You should have called this channel "WATCH OUT FOR SNAKES!" 😆🤣

Absolutely beautiful ! But definitely a younger persons hike or a very fit older person’s hike ! Thank you for “taking us older folks along “ be very careful ! ❤❤🙀👵🏻😱🖖🏼👽🐲👍🏻

Thanks for this! Bizarre remote refuge in inaccessible place. Door ways and roof pole holes suggest a race of small people compared to modern people. Dwellings would be very difficult to provision. Dwellers must have been hated by numerous enemies to resort to this extreme form of refuge.

This guy is me on every hike I have ever been on “watch out for snakes!” 😂😂🤣

I was hiking along with you when you said the word that I hate unless I have a shovel in my hand.I was getting weary when you finally stopped for a wee minute, all I wanted to do was get in that water.I also saw 2 plants that I have.The temperature I can live with as I have higher 45cl or130+ for a lot of the year.You will sleep well tonight.Love what you are doing.Thank you, Noreen Australia 🦘

When I went there about 11years ago that last steep climb was a real bitch for me, but made it. Excellent video ! I think fear drove them up there. - Happy Trails

Thanks for taking us along with you. Extraordinarily amazing

This is beautiful. Love the dog with scenery backdrop. Thanks for video. Sierra Buttes & Sardine lake is a sweet place. But much easier to get too. Polywogs as big as softballs😂 dragonflies not mosquitoes like where you were at.

Brother, brother don’t go out on the ledge! Whooooa, what a view. Yes, sooooo brave! Thank you … Godspeed.

I thoroughly enjoyed your hike to a place we do not understand. I hope you spent time just sitting and absorbing your surroundings. Understanding does not come easily. What inspiring scenery! If you met the people who lived here, would they share their food with you, give you a place to sleep? Probably. Enjoy the journey.

I trusted my sister on a hike once and she didn’t realize it was a 14 mile round trip hike up and across 3 or 4 mountains. It was probably a once in a lifetime hike for me, I haven’t felt the need to go back since. When we came back down the mountain, 3 black bears followed us til we were out of site - THANKFULLY they didn’t pursue lol. Anyway, thanks for these videos, I don’t know that I’ll be making hikes ever again after that but I love to watch! 😅

Incredible journey I must say. The structure is awe inspiring. Quite the hike as it were. Worth every step! Five stars. *****

So glad you made this journey and shared it. Was very interesting! Makes you wonder if the people who built that structure spent more time going up-canyon to do their hunting/gathering on the more gently-sloped terrain of the Aztec Peak area, instead of going up and down the canyon (Devil's Chasm). Maybe they did that trek less frequently.

Thanks! Your videos are great and informative. Life Long hiker of Northern AZ. Bern off grid for 35 years.0nly in the southwest will you find these huge ruins in such a remote area; elevation 😊 of insane proportions. 😅

Stunning hike guys!!! Thank you!

Wow, awesome hike, July??? in AZ?? Too hot...but you did it. I spent summer and holidays in AZ when my dad moved there. I went into the Superstition mtns and other notable places to explore, but not to this extent. Good job. Too old to do this now, thx for the journey!

Look at you dude cooking eggs and hamburgers LOL We did this hike back in the mid 80's and what a hike! One of the hardest I have ever done, it's a killer. We did dune buggy in as far as we could and packed lots of water. We spent 3 days exploring. We were looking for old outhouses to mine for old bottles believe it or not people actually lived out there at turn of the century. It has many rattle snakes because of the shade from the trees. There used to be lynx but I'm sure hunters have made them extinct. The stream was much bigger and fuller and you could swim in it.

Awesome, I made the hike up in the early 80s.

Great video, my friend. First time viewer and I'd really like to see more. I'm really into history of all sorts. I live in Utah so I'm familiar with the territory. Kudos for the respect you've displayed. Keep it up ! 👍

My wife and I did this hike several years ago. One of the most spectacular adventures we've ever done. Truly a special place.

Enjoy you and your brother doing this for not only yourselves but also for us all. I’m 71 and no doubt couldn’t make that hike now.

Going this weekend myself, then Roger's canyon the following. So many sites in this state. I wish I could still recall where all the little known (unknown to the government and it's history cleansing departments) sites I had the luck and fortune to visit a few years back. One was just south of Payson and there is a plateau in the middle of a canyon that requires actual climbing to slip into the crevice about 40 feet up. It leads into a virtually untouched dwelling with intact pottery and tools. If I manage to find it in the coming weeks I'll send you coordinates to it as long as you return from it with no more than you came with.

Oh, to be that young again! Thank you for taking us along on that difficult trek! The waterfalls and bird calls were awesome, too. Hike on, bros!

Amazing. I didn't know about those ruins. In my bucket list now.

Crazy rock climbing dry waterfall area but great views but this is one tough canyon to hike, particularly in the heat of July in the afternoon. Stunning ruins, aptly named. The people who lived there were pretty tough to do this every day to get water and food.

What you went threw to show this buetiful sight,thank you

Amazing. Thank you so much for showing the hike. I can't imagine anyone raising kids in that place. Maybe it was a religious community or site? If not, whoever they were hiding from must have been really awful. But, also, it might have been an easier hike and surrounding area a thousand years ago. They may have cleared the trails, shifted rocks, made handholds of wood and generally made things easier. I wish we could take a peek back in time to see.

Jeff, this might be one of your best videos yet! The petroglyphs are so varied and many are up so high. Thank you for sharing your travels with us.

That rope on that side might be for when water flows, the way you went up seemed like where the lions share of the flow would be.

The stream is why it's so full of life there. Can't homestead without it. In the middle of such an arid area, surprisingly green.

Pretty challenging hike there guys. I'm too old for this type of stuff & it's very cool watching your adventure from my couch...heh. Subbed & will be looking for more of your vids.

Gentlemen, you are in the most scenic and protected Indian ruins in the state. Protected not by man, but by nature. The remoteness and difficulty of access protects this place from the average week-end vandals. I'm 79 and have lived here most all my life (10 years old). I'm a retired firefighter and avid outdoorsman. You address the snake issue. You are right be very vigilant. A Diamondback rattler can strike you anywhere below the knee. A more aggressive Mohave rattler can hit you at thigh height. The closest medical help is a double wide trailer in Young with a Heli-pad in front of it. You'd have to get a ride South by helicopter to either Globe, Arizona or West over Roosevelt lake to Mesa. Same with a broken leg or other crippling injury. I notice the guy being photographed has low cut sneakers on instead of over the ankle hiking boots. For the area you are in this is a poor choice in footwear. You came in off SR 288. Turn off on Cherry Creek Rd was just pass the bridge over the Salt river. Cherry Creek Rd is FS #203. About a mile or so back from this in site was working ranch that would likely be your first choice for first aid help. Have fun and be extremely careful.

A fascinating hike in a very beautiful place- thank you so much!

There is another one on the other side if you keep driving like you are going to young. I haven’t done that hike in a while. Your video sure is motivating me to get my a$$ back out there. You can feel the energy of the people who use to live there. Great video

That was awesome. Thank you for sharing your amazing hike

Wow ,,, that was one crazy journey up. Amazing beauty.... You two rock!😊 The dwellings are absolutely gorgeous and death defying to the core! I would dread the descent back down, definitely gnarly

😂 watch for snakes ! What a beautiful bushwhacking hike !

Wow, thank you for sharing this amazing Ancients Ruins . Stay safe. God bless you 🙏

Incredible video! Thanks for all the high quality video of the hike! Pretty amazing to imagine a life like that up on the cliff side. Although I guess if kids were born up there, they really wouldn’t know any difference and would likely continue the tradition…incredible history indeed

You probably saved yourself a ton of people saying, It’s pronounced Kasm, lol. Great job! Keep them coming. I’m disabled and can’t explore anymore. I used to find Creek Indian places all the time growing up.

Amazing !!! Stunning views and countryside,one of the best cliff dwelling videos I've seen.. thanks guys...australia

I lived 6 years in Arizona, then in my late 20's, and felt fond memories from your video! 😊 Thanks for the trip! I'm enjoying it!

Thank you for taking me along on this ferocious hike.

Thanks!

I'm going after this one sooner than later...you guys did an awesome job on a mega epic hike! And your brother was like having your own personal indian scout lol

This is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.

That was an epic gnarly trek, thank you!! Drew is a mountain goat 😅, and i think you also qualify after that hike!! I am 63, and it made me think, why the heck did i smoke??!!...because what you two just did, would be my happy place, climbing, hiking etc. Damn!!! 😊 Thx again xxx

Wonderful, thanks for sharing!

this is the best Best, BEST hike video I've ever watched!!! Because of health issues I am no longer able to take such hikes, but this totally inspired me. You boys ROCK, on the rocks, over the rocks, between the rocks .... Thank you so very much for posting this amazing video! God bless you well.

Thank You both for the video, that was a Great Hike and documentation. You guys ROCK.

Man, I laid, chillin on my sofa, and I'm outta breath and sweating, just watching this!!! Thanks for makin the effort.

That was awesome what a experience. I wish I could but to old now I still get out anytime I can but nothing that wild thank you for this. I would love to have just sat in those rooms and felt the history . Thank you again

Thanks for charing. I enjoyed your video. ❤😊

Wow! What incredible adventure! Thanks so much for sharing!

Amazing canyon and historical site! Amazing effort by you to get there and video it for us! Thanks!

My favorite shot is at the end from the narrow shelf looking back at the structure with you inside for scale.

That's some real Indiana Jones stuff, lads! Well done!
