- Exploring Sedona for Ancient Ruins
Alright, I will start by saying I am often torn when I make a video on a place. I want to share, but I do not want an area overrun and overwhelmed. I found this location through online research, basically by stumbling across a picture similar to my thumbnail.....It looked interesting, so I kept digging until I figured out where it was. And then I headed out.
And couldn't find it. But in all honesty, I wasn't looking very hard the first time.
This is round two. I went expecting a very well defined and well used trail to a well known ruins site.
That's not what we found. Instead, it was a difficult search involving mistakes, backtracking and trail and error to find a well hidden, lightly traveled and well preserved ruins site.
So I apologize, but I don't want to be the one who spoils this area.
That said, I am not an expert. These are not extremely remote and unknown ruins. This video gives you as much to go on as I had when i found them.
So best of luck if you decide to hunt this incredible area down yourself. Hopefully, by not disclosing step by step directions, it will be empty when you get there, just like it was for us.
This is an amazing place. You can also climb to the top of the butte. Great video!
Recent Sedona transplant and just found your page. Did this hike today and it was amazing. Plowing through lots of your videos and look forward to copying more of your hikes. Thank you!
You guys are so sweet whenever you guys are lost! We went there last month, it was tricky to find but it is worth it once you find it.
These videos y’all post are spectacular. In my younger day, many moons ago, I researched and found many Indian sites, mine sites and Chinese camps from the gold rush era in the Sierras of northern California. All I have is memories and stories to tell. Our modern ability to record and share With the world is incredible. Keep it up. You two are awesome 👏
I come for the great views and awesome locations. I stay for the funny banter between the two of you. I've done the same thing as you with the ruins. I for sure have the location of one and then I get lost and end up bushwacking all over till I find it.
That place looks SO beauteous. Even if u didn't find the ruins, epic views and company. You 2 are great
Awesome ruins! It’s amazing how many there are in Sedona.
That place is awesome! What a view. And btw, I think you're a good researcher. You search, then search again, so you re-search. :)
When you said, "if you know what background mountains these are, you can find it online", I thought I recognized the background scene and sure enough...I remember hiking that canyon years ago. I read there were ruins, but I had no clue on where or how to find them...but saw a helicopter hanging out nearby...even then I couldn't see them from where I was
Ha! It's fun to get little clues and piece them together. Thanks for not revealing too much. Although, I know those canyons better than I thought I did. Spent many days meandering the red rocks of Sedona 💗 one of my favorite places in the world.
Great video you sure know how to use a camera and take great video ...also the out takes are very funny and show the best of your qualities as human beings ..very nice work you two
Thanks Jerry 😊 just did that hike with my wife and found the Ruins; they're awesome 😃
It's such a special place. We love Sedona. Glad you found them.
very cool ! you two sound like me and my wife when we get crossed up out on the trail .
Lol you guys are awesome!!! I’m glad you guys found it!
They're tough to find for sure. Especially when you hate reading. You've been hitting up some ruins too. Can't believe you climbed the ladder on that one trip. I think a buddy of mine just did the route from your more recent vid.
This is an awesome place that I’ve seen on other videos. Everyone seems to wander around to try and find it so I guess it is good it is not widely publicized
Nice video I'm a local of Sedona love the ruins 🙌
Been going to that ruin since 1988. Fun to watch you try to find it. I live in Cottonwood, so it is close for me. The Verde Valley has ruins everywhere.
They're always so hard to get to. Every time we visit one, we wonder how many others are out there that haven't been found.
@@JerryArizona I found a bunch up in Boynton Canyon by just watching where the helicopters hover to let people take pictures.
Not yet. Looks really cool though. I have a lot left to explore out in that area.
Love it! 😁🙏🏼🧘🏻♂️✨☮️💓
Great video! My better half and I are headed out this weekend to find a few hidden gems in the Boynton Canyon area - armed with limited research, but a positive attitude.
Good luck. I'm assuming the subway (or whatever it's called) that everyone is posting pictures of nowadays? I have that on the list, but you're right. Finding info is hard for that one. Still plenty of other stuff in that canyon and the ones around it. Hope you find what you're looking for.
@@JerryArizona Thanks. Keep putting out your great videos - they inspire us to continue to explore.
How do you get there? I love the areas you guys explore
Very cool
Did you see a nearby water source for the ancient residents? Just wondering if this was a permanent residence or a temporary “hunting lodge.” Totally awesome adventure! Thank you!
There was a stream, but it looked seasonal. Then again, maybe it was different back when they lived there.
Been there many times, did you visit the 200 yard long Pictograph panel in the same area?
Is this the one that is in the same canyon, different area? I haven't seen it but was told I would be hunted down if I made a video about it. I'll check it out one of these days, but keep it to myself.
thank you for respecting the ruins! some destinations are better keet away from attention
Interesting how the original inhabitants seem to prioritise security over running water?
Every one of these we go to, my first thought is how much of a pain in the butt it must have been to get water.
How open are the trail heads in the Sedona area now?
Google "Sedona Hiking Closures". I know the really popular ones (Devil's Bridge, West Fork, Bell Rock) are closed.
@@JerryArizona thanks!
@@JerryArizona I'm seeing that most of the Sedona trails are open. sedonatrailreport.com/sedona-trail-report
I've been wanting to go here. Just couldn't find out where 🤷♂️
I understand not sharing the location---I wouldn't either.
Sometimes it's as simple as typing exactly what you want to find into Google and looking at pictures that come up.
@@JerryArizona I've been here many times since I first typed this, among many others. Some amazing sites to find.
Thank you for not revealing the location. We need more adventures and fewer Subways and Soldier's pass caves.
Is it a canyon?
I've been to a lot of them
So many up there. I have a friend who lives there who's making new canyoneering routes all over in Sedona. Amazing how many ruins he comes across that are only accessible by rope.
i camp ther 4 30 dayszzzz
who nexxxx
This is an awesomely annoying hike but the payoff is worth it, thanks for not posting the location.
Sadly, we were just by another location one I did a video about earlier and....there were a lot of people there. Trying to be more careful about what info I give out.
@@JerryArizona its tough right now man, you certinally dont want to discourage people getting into the backcountry but with this pandemic I kinda want to avoid people... our world will forever be changed by this but I am hopeful outdoor recreation will eventually get back to somewhat normal and overall wont change much. Thanks for the reply.
