Sky Island - New Mexico's Jemez Mountains 

My birthplace and childhood home. As long as we showed up for dinner we were free to explore these mountains on our own all day.

Person behind the camera....AMAZING ARTIST!!!!!!! Beautiful film, big thank you.

I love my state. It's just so beautiful and breath taking. That's why they call it the land of enchantment!

This is why I live in the high desert. Beautiful and profound.

Some of the most beautiful landscape in the country.

I am soooo blessed to be living here in Jemez Springs! Awesome, powerful energies and spectacular beauty! Pilamayaye Wakhan Thanka!

I used to frequent the Jemez in the 60 and 70s.I have been gone for over 40yrs and I cant wait to get back there! Although went throughout the Jemez in my youth, there is so much to explore!

My home state and I love it very much it is indeed the land of enchantment

One of the narrators is N. Scott Momaday. I highly recommend his writings especially his poetry. Very profound and beautiful.

Wow! Where has this John Grabowska been all my life? Watched this because of Ribbon of Sand (Outer Banks) and am so impressed, such a beautiful film. Now I need to visit New Mexico!

This is the second time I witness this presentation: tomorrow I will witness the landscape first time, for the hundredth time, searching for that part of me, left there the first time I laid eyes and feet and hands upon that land we call The Jemez

Beautifully produced and narrated. Thanks.

Living in New Mexico for 40 years. I just love it . I wouldn’t wanna live anywhere else !

I loved visiting this area. Absolutely beautiful.

I love the jemez mountains

Mother Jemez is the womb of the world, I pray for her and send love of a 100.000 warriors that may sprinkle her with the dust of unborn spirits in a universe that travels backwards!

Being from this fabulous land of enchantment, I hope to be returning...and if by death, then my ashes scattered to the winds, to the mountains and down to the deserts floor.

Can't wait to visit New Mexico again, hopefully soon.

We need more documentaries like this! Great work! I love when my home state is showcased in the positive way!

Wild and beautiful!

Having lived and ministered in Jemez, I can so relate to the words of this author1 Thank you that I could repossess these moments of awe and wonder! Sr. Brigid

I used to live in Burque and Taos and would come to the Jemez as often as I could. Special place

what a fantastic doc

Jemez has my heart.

by replanting and turning the neighboring deserts into flourishing Oasis and using ingenious irigation efforts we can make it possible to turn back the warming of our land of enchantment... a vivid example of this is happening now across the world in Israel. Where millions upon millions of trees planted have changed the alkaline soil and it's turning into a forest green beauty.

I was transfered out of here 14 yrs ago to Florida, now retired, move back, scenic almost anywhere, love it here.

Been looking at properties near this area. Can't wait to visit. I feel such a strong draw to this sacred area.

such a longing to be there...incredible photography!!

Well, I'm ready to move. All we ever see here is corn fields and soybeans in the state of Illinois. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a cabin in the woods in a beautiful place like this with no TV, no traffic, and no pollution? To wake up to this scenery every day with a hot cup of good coffee and the sounds of nature. Paradise on earth for some of us. I don't believe I would ever be bored. I think I'll start looking for a real estate agent.

So beautiful.

new mexico is such a beautiful place, many hidden secrets, maybe best kept that way, c: so the spirit may be free

Yes, "Let us learn to live lightly in this world"......

Beautiful Upload friend. keep it up. Thank you for sharing this to us. Greetings from Korea

Thank you!

Very very good. Thank you

Wow!!!! I love my state too!

Actually the percentage of pinyon that died was from 40 to 80 % and the numbers were taken from a wide range of census areas in Colorado , Utah , Arizona , and New Mexico .....80 % in Jemez is inaccurate ...

Stupendous, thought provoking and a real hope that we can ask the right questions, find the right answers and as he says live rightly on this earth. Experience the beauty and majesty, absorb and give to it. Wonderful-amazing. ATB Mark & Bro Paul.

People are turned off by the painfully slow pace, even if it's a topic they're deeply interested in. Even at double speed

In the front yard looking at chicoma mountain to my west and truchas peak to the east.

Great vid. South West is beautiful. Hope I can get to travel there in the next couple of years.How is the water situation out there these days?

God's country, and I miss it.

I heard about this place for the first time

Great

Great evidence for the Great Flood! You see evidence on top of the close-by Sandias too!

I just bought land sight unseen on black mesa near taos

I have been in the Jemez most of my life. After travelling the country from east to west, I have seen no other place like these mountains and also many in Northern NM. I will always feel they are home. Forget the climate change junk, it is cyclical and I have seen these forests over time. Anyone with reason can look into just the facts, not the hype.

I LOVE YOU NM!!

out of los alamos, my playground

I believe Forrest Fenn's treasure chest is somewhere in these mountains.

11.50 yes you can!.

VOLUME?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I wish my native American lands can be returned to our people and not made into "national monuments" to live in harmony in nature is to love our Great Creator's​ blessings upon us, our land of enchantment would not need fires to mimic or control it, but to bring in balance and stability by re introduction of it's inhabitants that care about and for the land of enchantment.

Wonder if there's any sasquatch there????😮

i just got sent here from school ;-;

there was ocean water there at one time

How about adding caption option for those who have hearing problems?

I'm moving ...

This is a beautiful representation of my home state of New Mexico. I despair to see the deaths of ecosystems and many other areas of this nation and planet. The so called narrative of "climate change" is something much more direct and insidious than "overpopulation" and over use of fossil fuels. One of the greatest threats to this beautiful planet is climate engineering. That is the true source of our death and destruction to our crops and ecosystems. I urge anyone who is reading this to research 1pacificredwood and Dane Wigington for starters. Both are RU-vid channels. Draw your own conclusions, and if convinced with thorough research and observation of the sky, please spread the word.

Merle Streep has such a sexxy voice

It's so sad and infuriating to see how humans have wrecked and trashed the planet, and these wondrous species unique to the Jemez mountains pay the price for human greed and ignorance.

No captions

Great visuals, but this guy is so full of hot air, no wonder the earth is warming up...

Yes you can ave t al the dust and rocks FOR UUU baby

Audio too low

Watch without the volume, new mexico is beautiful. Don't believe anymore in your fear porn.

México beautiful🇲🇽

@ 1:28 many faces. Land of fire, cataclysm and wonder!

Beautiful country loved the video. Then the climate change b s. Climate has always changed. How did the mountains, rivers and valleys get there?Volcano eruptions do more climate change than man ever has.

beginning @ 18:04 ...No propaganda for me thanks....It's now 2017 and I just came from there, lots of snow up there and rain in the lower elevations cool and nice...

North west south east go north Sacramento California apostolic god the devil Jesus Christ name amen

20:12 you have no idea of the age of the earth, neither does anyone else.

I almost puked when they went off about the epi-center of climate change. It's nothing like a desolate landscape or even a desert. 11 inches a year is not a desert. I live right at the north end of the range. Perdenales (the flat top mountain) is in my back yard. This country is rich in game well forested in the upper elevations. It's one of the last unspoiled places -

The Earth needs more carbon & lots of it; the more, the better. The climate is changing, and that's the way it has always been. Humans do not play a significant role in this cycle, except by destroying rain forests, globally...human greed = misery for all beings.

Ms. Streep (rimes with creep) may be a good actor but as an environmentalist she's like the wind in Texas. It don't blow it sucks. Years ago she, in her ignorance spouted off regarding an ag chemical called Alar and though only a small handful of apple growers were using it she singlehandedly succeeded in putting thousands of small family orchards out of business, people who grew fruit on family farms for generations. Now she's making documentaries on the Jemez Mountains, a place near and dear to me as I've lived there several times over the course of my sixty five years and she's going on about climate change and how it's going to ruin the high desert and the unique eco system of the Jemez Mountains. What a dolt! She talks now about the "Villa Caldera", known formerly for hundreds of years as the Villa Grande and most likely hasn't even been there and wouldn't know where she even was if you dumped her in the middle of it. In the late ninties I worked for the Dunagan Corporation that owned the Villa Caldera and then operated the Bacca Location #1, a 98,000 acre cattle ranch there. I served as a cowboy while in their employ and spent long days on that property rideing around in pickup trucks and on horseback gathering up the cows. I got to know the area pretty well. The Jemez, like many areas of the west and other places in the world as well were formed by volcanic action and has a sensitive ecosystem, but the region was born of burning hot magma and poisonous gases in the violent eruption of a super volcano, what we now call the Villa Caldera and, though it could be harmed in theory by environmental change global warming isn't what the culprit will be. Meryl Streep and other very public figures who are definitely not scientists and who are certainly not climatologists are spreading this message of fear and doom that is totally unfounded and has no basis in fact. Al Gore is another idiot who has done everything in his power to advance this nonsense regarding the changes in our environment and if you were to believe the drivel in his book, "An Inconvenient Truth" you'd believe that Manhattan was under water and that the people there were polling around in gondolas as they do in Venice, Italy. The fact of the matter is that the water level there hasn't risen one bit! The global warming scare is a hoax, a bunch of crap designed to frighten and distract the populace in order to control and tax people who, through their ignorance and gulabulity will believe anything if it is perceived as a threat. The operative word is"perceived". Our despotic government is perpatraiting what is known as a provication with propiganda and fear mongering in order to control us and our actions by reason of the "Carbon Footprint Tax" and other financial and social programs that they've been instituting incrementally over time. This whole thing is a massive red flag non-event to gain an upper hand. NOAA, a governmental agency in and of itself must have fallen out of step with the rest of government or chooses to guard it's integrity by telling the truth. NOAA's findings tell us that the mean global temperature hasn't risen one half of one degree in all the time it's been studying our environment and that the miniscule rise in temperature may well be part of a natural cycle. I happen to be fortunate to have married into a family of very good, very honest scientists and have a daughter who is also a PhD in plant breeding. My father-in-law was Malcolm Shurtleff, the J.S. Bach of plant pathology, who had more published scientific papers then almost any scientist in any field (look him up on Google!). My ex-wife Janet L. Shurtleff, a PhD in row crop science specializing in weed control (weed scientist) and worked in industry, state government and, later was on the faculty at NCSU in the Ag School. They all concurred that, as NOAA intemated this problem hasn't been studied long enough to draw any accurate conclusion. At best the information being put forth is pure speculation. The first Earth Day, some thirty five years ago was organized as a result of an oil spill off the coast of Santa Monica, California and though it was a nice idea, to organize to protect the environment, the main focus of the day, aside from the oil spill was "the coming ice age", which was said to be just around the corner. Many lagitimate scientists jumped on board and for a short time that was the rallying cry of the new movement, that is until everyone figured out that it just wasn't true. Thirty five years isn't even a blink of an eye in terms of geologic change. So, how is it that we've gone from heading into a full blown ice age to global warming in that short a period of time? Were the scientists wrong about that ice age? Might they also be wrong about global warming? Is all the hysteria for naught? Who would suffer at the hands of bad science if incompetent scientists all agreed that bogus findings were infact true? An equally important question would be who would bennifit? I could go on and on about this subject. It's said that people and cows (cows?) are wrecking the planet. What sort of garbage is that? Co2 is what the trees turn into o2, a nessacairy element for life here on Earth. You'd have to be the village idiot to not understand how preposterous all this is, but that's what people like Al Gore and George Soros are counting on, that everyone is stupid. That's why I resent people like Meryl Streep and her Hollywood cohorts chiming in every time an environmental or social issue comes up. They are the spokespeople for every rediculous cause that comes down the pike and they'll speak on any subject like an authority who actually knows what he's talking about, when, infact they know less then the scientists who don't even have a firm grasp on these things themselves. People who listen to and believe the things that come out of the mouths of actors and musicians get what they deserve for not being willing to think for themselves, I suppose, but the problem is that if the nonsense gains traction and these people are wrong we all get hurt. This goes out to Meryl Streep personally: Please, for the good of all, attend to what you're good at and practice your chosen craft and if you must, speak publicly on that subject and not on other subjects, lest you again make a fool of yourself I front of the entire world. You wouldn't want to have a repeat of the Alar scare and bare the responsibility for harming others again, would you? And also, unless you're going to the Jemez to be awed by the unfathomable beauty of that place (or to shoot a film) please leave it alone and stay out. The Jemez Mountains have been just fine for eons without your help. Thank you.

Great videos.. but the insertion of the "Climate Change" BS propoganda killed it for me.

Title says it all "thebull from the sea". Beautiful scenery, narration was democraptic nonsense.

meryl Streep????😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Can't even get far enough away from them in nm.......

Didn't realize it was gonna be about climate change propaganda.

It was good, till ya started with the climate change stuff. Tired of politics everywhere. Goodbye.

It is true the Jemez Mountains are a beautiful sight, they were even more beautiful before the federal government came in and burned them up. It was a pretty good show until you got to the animals. The pinon trees died because of the bark beetle. C'mon guys. DO BETTER.
