Cliff Dwellings Of The Sierra Ancha: The Climb Up (part 1 of 3) | Aquachigger 

I like that term......"Arizona pin striping" 😉

The perfect example of a travel video. Taking us places we have never been and maybe never will but always chock full of information delivered with a passion for the subject. It would be so easy to be lazy and simply show the awe-inspiring beautiful landscape with no commentary. You put so much into your videos at every stage and I for one am totally thankful. I know you make your videos to inspire kids but I am 53and you inspire me into changing my way of living. 🇬🇧👍🙏🇺🇸

Who would have stripped naked and gone in one of those pools or under the waterfall? Give this a like if you would have done that!

Thank you for the climb. I look forward to the next two segments.

I really enjoy his excursions and explorations, his obvious love of the beauty of nature and life is evident, plus his reverence for all things living and past is also refreshing

I am in awe of the landscape and the pueblo were about to see. The Native People were born with a knowing on how to live simply with mother nature and all things created. Thanks Beau for traversing the miles to bring us this glimpse of history. 💖🧗‍♂️

Dude you ROCK!!!! I love that you respect the land and animals and appreciate the world around us!!!!

Beautiful, thanks for taking us along.

Those waterfalls basins are probably littered with GOLD... GOLD!!!

Thank you Sir!! Thank you for taking the time to show us your adventures!! I could not physically make that hike!! It just kills me sometimes!! I broke my neck back in 2009 and am lucky to be alive! I'm also lucky I'm not in a wheelchair!! Thank you for the adventures!!

Aren't these mountains just Gorgeous! Mother Nature is truly amazing!

Breathtaking scenery! What an awesome adventure. Thanks for sharing it.

I love long videos from you. The longer the better.

Hello again. When you see the true beauty of our planet, I can't help to get upset when I see the garbage in the streams and rivers you hunt in. Its everywhere. I look down from a plane and the ponds and rivers are dark green and disgusting brown. I hope generations to come can change for the better.

Can't wait!!! Sidenote; whenever I watch one of your vids and I get to the end where the credits scroll and the birds are chirping, my cockatiels 'talk' back to the chirping birds... every time..lol!

Guys, they call this area of the Sierra Ancha mountains "Devil's Chasm". You can see why. It is a difficult climb to get to. But, the views are spectacular!!!! Beau is the man to get to the top with no support team (other than from all of us)!! Great videos!

Hi aquachigger. Thanks so much for showing us Sierra mountains. It's beautiful and something most people would never see. Thanks

This video means allot to me. I grew up in Az. I have been to most places. I do not have the legs to go where you did. Thanks for sharing !

Neat Hike !...I second anyone who would have soaked their feet in those pools... :) These dwellings were built by a Pueblo Indian community called the Salado, inhabiting them for about 100 years, circa 1300 AD. Its mind boggling to think of the people scrambling about those canyons, -farming, gathering firewood, foodstuffs like the fox grapes, -- women hauling water in jars on their head (!) back up to the dwellings... Once the crops sprouted they were never left alone- people was attentive to each plot 24/7---- the overnights were guarded by the boys and young men who would sit about brush fires telling ghost stories; there to drive away any animal that might ruin their crops..... they raised corn, squash (actually a pumpkin- like plant) and beans... (I used to lived on the Navajo Nation at Canyon de Chelly. I couldn't soak up enuff of this Pre-Columbian history.... ;) . Fantastic video--- now on to watch Part 2 !.................... :) .

So far so good. This great grandma won't be going up there any time soon. Whew.

That's beautiful country! Been there a couple times..There's gold there

It was easier to protect stored grain up in the hills, so the tribe could travel to other areas as required.

oh man, part one of a "cliffhanger"!

Thanks Chigg that was awesome! Stay safe and God Bless Us All.

Awesome Chigger Beautiful Canyon

What an amazing place.thank you for showing us.

I really appreciate these videos because I am no longer able to hike or climb. Thanks a lot.

OMG The waterfalls and pools a gorgeous!

wow what an adventure thank you so much for taking us along

Honestly I think this video raised the bar for what we should expect from you in the future. When you cut us off with the "Tune in tomorrow" line, I was a little pissed but if you had to do it I guess that was a good spot. YES I'll be here tomorrow. What a beautiful hike. I like the constant reminders that people were here before us and that they survived here. I agree with you about the stone tool you showed us. I have a few rocks I've collected that go in the box called "rocks that might be something or maybe it''s just a rock." I think the tool maker in all of us can recognize those primitive technologies. Loved this video. Keep up the good work.

This trip has been awesome Beautiful water falls an look out points. Wow!!

Wish I was there! Beautiful. Don't believe I could make it but am glad you have and very happy you share! Thanks a million Chigg

That place is surreal.

Thanks for the video, glad to hear you speak about rattlers dangers.

Enjoyed this very very much. Thanks for taking me on an adventure!!

I think you found a garden of Eden, what an awesome place. 😻

Incredible, like a lost world

Gorgeous view💛🧡🧡💛💙💙💛🧡

that was absolutely beautiful thanks for bringing me along

Fantastic. Doing what i could never do.

Your videos are great, but it's your personality that makes them shine!

Thanks for taking us along-what a nice video-love it.

I am too old to do that type of climb, you enabled me to imagine being right there, just wonderful. All the flowers must have been amazing. What a trip. Thankyou.

What a beautiful place!

Thanks for the refreshing memory vignette...🙏🌹

Very interesting video, beautiful place. Thanks Beau. Fantastic video .

Thanks for taking me along! ;) Rog

Breathtakingly Beautiful! Thank you for sharing with us! I have MS and it's impossible for me to do any of this so your videos are the next best thing! Sending love from Texas!

part 2 & 3 here i come thanks beau.

Still one of my fave videos of Chigg’s!

Awesome trail video. You are the best. Thanks for sharing.

I would absolutely love to take a road trip with Chigg. And he could’ve filmed the entire hike and I’d happily watch every minute of it.

Absolutely beautiful.

The older we get the more breaks we need.

Like if Aqua Chigger is the best metal detector ever!!

Magnificent place you hiked!

What an adventure!

Awesome adventure Chigg! Can't wait for MOAR!!

Saw all three!! Amazing!! Thanks for taking us with you!! A real blessing!

When I was young we lived in globe Arizona on Bixby road. This takes me back to all the exploring me and my brother did. We lived not far from the sleeping beauty mountains. Very cool stuff and I appreciate this video and you

by far one of my favs. thank you so much beau!

Beautiful scenery , Chigg.

I absolutely love the way you video the hike, it makes me feel like I am there. I love all you video's for that same reason. Thank you!!

What Both, a Beautifully Fanatic Climb and interestingly educational too... Sharing in the inclines, reminds me of when my girlfriend an another Couple, took Nine Days to Travel through Switzerland, Northern Italy and Northern Greece (if we had the time)... Then, repeat our travels in reverse but swinging northeast to visit Austria before heading back to the Airbase we were all Stationed on, in Zweibrucken, Germany... WELL, THAT "WAS" OUR PLANNED ITINERARY... HOWEVER... Once we arrived at our 1st Stop in the Swiss Alps... The rest was history and we literally blew off all three of the other Countries completely, due to basically getting lost (intentionally) while, climbing around and having the time of our lives up and throughout many of the Swiss Alps... AMAZING doesn't even begin in describing spending Nine Days Camping in & Climbing Up & Down in the Swiss Alps ... Oh... And the BIGGEST Difference between Climbing there, as opposed to where you where climbing is... NO MATTER... How High we climbed, there was ALWAYS a Small to Tiny To Telephone Booth-sized Wooden Shacks, That SOLD Beer, Water & Some form of Carbs... IT WAS CRAZY...!!! Made for many "Interesting" CLIMBS UP... AND... SOME Incredibly "HAIRY/SCARY" & INTENSE Desents to the Bottoms... ALONG With the, many, many, many Tiny but Level patches, that One could Drop, Roll and Hopefully STOP... BECAUSE... We'd NEED to Purchase "MORA" Swiss (High-Octane) BEERS, BEFORE We'd Roll the rest of the way DOWN to our Tents/Campsites... The Swiss Folks ARE the BEST Tourist Agents in the World.... Each & Everyone of them, Spoke at least 5-Different Languages (With American English being their Country's secondary language)... AND... Everyone of these Wonderfully Awesome Swiss Folk KNEW How To Party and were also PRO's at Keeping the Partying GOING too...!!! I'm soooooooooo Honored and Grateful to have had the chance of being there at such a young and healthy age... Cuz, I could NEVER be able to "Hang" with the Swiss NOWADAYS...!!! So, if you're still young/youthful... PLEASE Put Switzerland on your BUCKET LIST... AND, GetR'Done Early... NOW...!!! You'll NEVER regret it...!!!

My maternal great grandmother was a Mandan and my fraternal great grandmother was a Tennessee Cherokee. Anything First Nation excites me.

Love it! Just amazing thank you for sharing.

Beautiful

As a fellow West Virginian from an old coal camp in southern West Virginia I enjoy the channel and the enjoy catching the random quotes and references, there seem to be several in each video. Rest beneath the shade of the trees is a Stonewall Jackson quote and his last words. Glad to see Mountaineer being himself and the world appreciating him for it. Good work and keep it up, even though I know you'll never see this.lol...

WOW! Huge thanks for making videos of this trip up the mountains. I use to do things like that in my early years and know how amazing it is to be totally away from it all and experience the beauty of other cultures and nature. Can't wait to watch the rest. REALLY enjoying it. Again, thanks so much for taking me along :)

Ah the three sisters. Such a carmitic place! Wish I were there!!

Looking forward to part 2 & 3!!

What a great hike! Thank you for sharing! That whistle that you hear is a the song of a canyon wren. Beautiful, little birds! Happy exploring!

can't wait to see part 2 tomorrow night.

Great video! Quite the hike! You always have such a positive attitude. So nice to see in times like these. Hope you make it through Wyoming some day.

The plants with the bumblebees on them at 6:58 looks like Squaw Root. Very cool plants! And very cool video. Looking forward to getting through this 3 parter. Thanks for taking the time to make it and put it all together!!!

thank you so much for taking me along on this adventure. I'm in tears it's so beautiful. looking forward to more! ✌💚🍍🐢

That has to rank as one of the best videos ever Beau! Really looking forward to tomorrow's installment Many thanks 👍

What an amazing place! Thank you for taking us there. Can't wait for more!

Beau, that rock, & the boulders are all volcanic tuff.

At one point as you were climbing it looked like a boxed canyon only thing missing was John Wayne on a horse..... amazing scenery, thanks for taking me along,

Hello. New watcher from ax also Apache on my dad side and Tohono O'odham on mom's side. Love watching your videos since I first come across M cave videos. Your Arizona videos gave me pleasant memories of Bill Leverton's old show. I remember watching them with family in the 80s. Although he wasn't as extreme as your hikes but your tone reminds me of the calmness and respect he had for the environment. Always ending his show..."This is Bill Leverton Out On The Arizona Road."

Great video. Beautiful scenery. Thanks for taking me along.

Amazing veiw Aquachigger!!!

Very nice! I feel like I just went on a trip that I probably would never have made in real life. Can't wait to watch Part 2! Be safe!

You're so brave! Amazing country - thank you SOOO MUCH for taking us on this expedition (so much better than many TV shows which would have to pretty it up or otherwise mess with the credibility) WONDERFUL!

I'm in no condition to hike like you or have the opportunity and I am too scared. I so enjoy your videos Thank you so much for taking me along.I look forward to everyone of them.

That's amazing. I'm exhausted just watching this. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful experience with us! Can't wait for part 2.
