I know this may not have been a high action adventure, but I still enjoyed seeing this! There are sites like this all over the place in the Southwest. They are long forgotten or have been eroded or destroyed. It was still amazing to see those carved hand and footholds though. I hope you enjoyed it too!
Thank you for being part of The Trek Planner!!

Having spent my childhood in and around St. George, petroglyphs and ruins were a normal part of family outings to me. Picnicing, hunting, or gathering firewood as a family I often hiked around and found undiscovered acient sites littered with broken walls, arrowheads, and potsherds. I thought everybody did. We were taught to respect it and enjoy the adventure and "leave it be." My older brother was the real hiker, and sometimes took us specifically to see something extra cool he found. Not just native American stuff and dinosaur tracks, but fossil and mineral deposits as well. He still lives in Hurricane. You might look him up and trade stories. He could certainly suggest locations to point Google Earth toward in your discovery and trek planning. Great video! Brings back so many memories.

I grew up close to you(Cedar City), and I remember swimming in the Virgin River in the late 60s , practically every step you took was on a stone tool of some kind. Relics were literally everywhere. My friend found two intact clay vessels near the historic Veyo pool, which I believe are in a museum now. We'd also find homesteader relics, bottles, square nails, etc.

@boofriggityhoo 11 месяцев назад

The soot and suspiciously flat ground would make me hypothesize that the area in the back was definitely used for long-term storage of jars full of perishable goods. They used to light fires in sealed-up little rooms to allow the fire to consume all the oxygen in the space, which would eventually also put the fire out. This allowed them to store food for several months longer than it would normally last (some argue that staple food items could have lasted over a year in these environments so long as they never unsealed the entrance afterward). Fun fact: things like vacuum-sealing food bags or smoking sausages also use oxygen deprivation to make food last longer :)

The Anasazi carved a lot of steps. Have you been to the Navajo swimming pool? It's cool as heck. They carved a channel in rock like that, by a natural spring. The ran down the man made channel and into a natural circular pool of nice clear water. To get up to the pool, there are carved steps, done by the Anasazi. IDK know exactly where it is, but it's up in elevation a bit, and the spring is even further up. Thanks. This Native American loves the ruins of the sw. I know a lot of the Dine Navajo teachings, Oral Tradition etc...but I'm not Navajo. They come from the area my tribe is now located. Very few know, the Navajo came from the East, not the North. They say so themselves. I digress. Again thanks. I love seeing all these places.

Yep, that's probably a granary. Found something similar in Southern Utah when I taught wilderness survival to troubled youth. It was up much higher, couple hundred feet above the river basin, with steps and a precarious path. There were several native made rock wall storage compartments/bins, with small corn cobs still scattered in bins. Cool find, good job!! If you would have looks around on top, especially where there is a lot of sand, you would probably find lots of obsidian chips. During the winter months, they would go up to be in the sun, on nice warm sand dunes, and flint nap arrow heads, knives, spears, etc..
