- I am very grateful you watched this video! The tour begins at 2:21 :-)
FYI - the names of panels in this video correlate with the names on our guide on our website (see link below)
This is a short video tour on what you may find in 9 Mile Canyon in Utah! 9 Mile Canyon has been dubbed "the world's longest art gallery" because there are petroglyph and pictograph sites all over the place! I still remember my first time driving through the canyon. I found just a handful of sites. The more I visit, the more I discover and so will you!
There are several ways to enter into 9 Mile Canyon: through Myton near Duchesne, or through Wellington near Price. Even though the canyon is actually 75 miles in length, much of it is on private land. From the entrance to the canyon until the Great Hunt Panel it's about 33.5 miles. Most people drive to The Great Hunt Panel and turn back around.
Make sure to fuel up, bring water, food, camera, and binoculars! What about restrooms? There are two areas that have outhouses: Cottonwood Glen and also Daddy Canyon Complex.
If you want a great guide through 9 Mile Canyon including GPS coordinates and pictures, check out our very own Trek Planner driving guide:
thetrekplanner.com/9-mile-can...
We give you 181 GPS coordinates, directions, pictures, and more on where to find the granaries, rock art, rock shelters, and more! Of course, there is much more waiting to be discovered, so get out there and see for yourself!
Note: some of these sites can only be accessed by drone or seen by high-powered binoculars or a telephoto lens. - Zábava
Thanks for these videos! I live in Utah and am always looking for little adventures to go on, so your videos are appreciated! You give great information.
Thank you so much, Jess! That means a lot to me! We got lots more ready to be published too
John Wesley Powell led a government reconnaissance expedition of portions of Utah in 1869. He had with him a topographer named F. W. Bishop, who drew a nine-mile triangulation drawing (each side of the triangle was nine miles long). It included the main drainage of Nine Mile Canyon, which he named Nine Mile Creek. Maps presented to Congress by Powell included Nine Mile Canyon and Bishop Ridge on them-this is the origin of the name.
My dad discovered a basket while on one of the digs they had here. It's in the (at least it was) in the price museum, with his picture.
My big sister was digging in a place in front of a fire and found a child's skull.
I'm 43 and that happened when I was probably 11 or 12. So my memories giving me a bit of a time over it.
Those were beautiful times. I remember the canyon smell when we'd wake up, head out of the cabin and a grownups would have breakfast ready for us. Then time to pack lunches.
We bathed in the river (before it was plugged up to create a watering hole for some horses)
The air was clean, I was fed and energetic with a whole canyon full of mysteries to explore! Being mindful of what I touched, and the scorpions in the cave where the cold food was kept, and listening and watching for rattlers as we played and hiked all over. Being mindful to not kick rocks behind me as I climbed steep hills, and leaving artifacts EXACTLY where they'd been found.
Each weekend of visiting my dad, older sister and brother-- was my favorite weekend.
What an incredible experience and memories to have!
I was about 12 with my family exploring a wash in Emery County. We were trying to find any remnants of a dugout dwelling my ancestors lived in when they settled the area, no luck. There was potsherds everywhere. I kicked up a bone in the dirt flat near the wash. I thought it might be a horse or animal bone and showed my dad. He dug around it a little and it was the shoulder bone, shoulder blade and back of a human skull. We notified the Sheriff’s department. The U of U came to examine the remains. It turned out to be a Native American female buried face down because she probably disgraced the tribe. There were artifacts buried beneath her. Not sure exactly what they did after that, I believe they reburied her after studying the site and artifacts.
You never know what you’ll kick up in the deserts of Utah.😊
This is my family's favorite canyon. I've been camping in it since I was a little girl. It used to be very remote with only dirt roads. Some trips, we would camp for days and not see a soul. Occasionally, the ranchers would stop and say, "hi" to us. You can feel how sacred it is when you are there. If you walk some of the side canyons, you can feel an intense energy. I sometimes feel something watching me from the tops of the canyons.
Wow! Thank you for this amazing tour, accompanied by absolutely perfect music.
I had to come back and watch this again. Spectacular cenamtophy and editing.
Thank you for such a well presented tour in video of this stunning canyon, with the flute background music. This indeed was more than delightful. You are a very artful videooligist.
It astonishes me that these are still so vivid after 1500 years…or so. Thank you for the education you’re giving us, and the conservation elements in these videos.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video, the beautiful music and the maps to show where it is and the cautions that need to be taken. You do such a wonderful service for all of us who are armchair trekkers.
Thank you for the wonderful video. This was one of the last places that my family visited before we moved away.
Beautiful land my ancestors used to roam ❤️❤️❤️🤍
A place I've always wanted to see in person. I've studied rock art for over 30 years and never cease to be amazed by both the amount of it out there and the absolute beauty of some of the panels. It's also mind boggling to see some of the high places where they put their marks - some seem so inaccessible. Thanks for the excellent footage!
Fantastic and music was very nice.. 👍
Thank you! I've been to the canyon many times but couldn't see all that your youtube video showed.
Everytime I go back I find new petroglyphs I haven't seen before!
Great presentation! Beautiful photography and excellent music. I enjoy all of your content, and this may be my new favorite😎
Excellent footage, wish I was there
Well done.
Wow! It's so amazing to see petroglyphs in such high or (seemingly) inaccessible places. Thanks for the tour.
I love watching your work you have a respect for the land and the people that wants to live there and that's hard to find thank you so much
Extravagantly gorgeous land.
I love the no trespassing sign painted right over the red animal!
I just found you today. Excellent content, photography and music. Really enjoyable. Thank you!
really fond memories of this place. missed the coyote/stars panel, it's amazing
The juggler looks most like first use of a bolero ! Very interesting.
Thoroughly enjoyable. Great video. I look forward to traveling there later this year. Thank you for sharing.
On "The Juggler" panel I think it looks like a bola.
This has to be one of my favorite of your videos. And I pretty much like most of them.
Awesome views and the music was great I saved it to my notes be safe can't wait for the next one
What a majestic place.. 💙
Beautiful and amazing!!
Fabulous ..love the vision and music ..
From Australia..
My husband and I spent a enjoyable relaxing day visiting this canyon few years ago. Hope to go back.
Well done. I’ve been there once but can see now that I missed just about everything.
Magnificent thankyou.
WOW!!! And I loved the music!!!
Absolutely beautiful! And soothing music too 👍👏
I love this! Thank you so much Jeff!
Thank you for these wonderful videos I can't get out for this is a way to get out thank you
Was there a few years ago. Amazing place.
Awesome! Music was great,too!😊
Lovely video, thank you!😀👍👍
My jaw is on the floor. Thanks for the great video.
Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words, Brent!
Amazing! Thanks for making this video. ❤
An amazing and spiritual, beautiful place!! This canyon feels like you stepped back in time. I would live here if possible!
Excellent! I’ll be here in the next month.
Great video. Just got back from Nine Mile and cannot wait to go back.
Thank you so much, Jeff! Great name BTW ;-)
That was awesome! Thank you
This was FANTASTIC 🤠💚 Super Great Tour !! 💚💯
Outstanding.
Sorry about an earlier comment recommending this place. I'm slowly working through your videos. I was fortunate enough to participate in a survey of one of the side canyons connecting to 9 mile. If you like ancient rock art this is an amazing place. I also found out that it is a great place to get caught in a flash flood lol. The area is far more accessible these days than it was then. A revisit is on my list the next time I'm back home.
Absolutely mind blowing!! Thank you so much for the time and patience you must have to fly your drone to the sacred sites!! I realize erosion has eaten away at the cliffs and maybe these places were a bit easier to reach but HOW?? How did these people do it?? It boggles the imagination!! Thanks 🙏 😮😊
Very well done. Thank you
Thank you so much for watching! :-)
Such an amazing place! I've never been there, but I've been to the sunset Crater ... Flagstaff and Sonoma and all around there..... I miss Arizona.... I loved looking at the Indian ruins and just walking out in the desert in general.... Thank you so much for your beautifully put together video the music was wonderful!
That was awesome. Thank you so much for taking us there. I am so interested in rock art and would never get to see it if not for you. 😊
That means a lot to me! Thank you :-)
Awesome man music choice 👌 👏
Amazing!
Beautiful place
It really is!
Well done!
Awesome!
Great tour Thank You very much!
I'm happy you enjoyed it! Thanks, Jim
Wow that’s a very interesting place, will put it on my list. Great video! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it, Chris! It's a great place to explore!
I find it interesting that they used to hide stuff on cliff ledges and caves on the sides of mountains just like the Tibetans. The native Americans also have similar ceremonial dress colours, drum chants, harmonious with nature and both talk of an inner world. I can't imagine these two different nationalities ever cross d paths but there are lots of similarities.
Excellent video work, I love the music. Thank you.
It's named 9 Mile Canyon because of 9 Mile Creek, which was nine miles from some other landmark.
(Copy/paste from previous comment) John Wesley Powell led a government reconnaissance expedition of portions of Utah in 1869. He had with him a topographer named F. W. Bishop, who drew a nine-mile triangulation drawing (each side of the triangle was nine miles long). It included the main drainage of Nine Mile Canyon, which he named Nine Mile Creek. Maps presented to Congress by Powell included Nine Mile Canyon and Bishop Ridge on them-this is the origin of the name.
Ok that does it. Must get back to Utah! It’s been a while…Thanks!
Love the background music too. Your newer videos lack this. All are very cool & appreciated, though!
You might enjoy the siritual representations of the native americans through their Kachina Dolls! They seen to appear in the cliff drawings ! I enjoy your channel. Thx
Thank you!
Thx for the tour. 😊
I've been through the area many times but I was never the driver. If I had been, I'd have made the detour.
We were on a schedule so we blew right past at freeway speed, even though it's on a state, not federal highway.
I'm sure I could spend the rest of my life there and still not see beyond the tip of the iceberg. Not surprising, I am 59y, after all.
Pretty good way to go, if you ask me.
We are heading there next week. Thanks
Hope you have a great time, Kent! There is so much to see!
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching!
WOW!!!!
Awesome video. Drone must help a lot haha. Did you find these because you were just looking around or did you have a guide/book?
Thank you! I had the guidebook from the county but it was based off of mileage points and I found that very confusing and I couldn’t even find more than a few things. So, I basically just visited about a dozen times and drove slowly and flew my drone all over the place until I found stuff haha
@The Trek Planner that's awesome. I think I've had that same county guide.. little bit lacking haha
@@Dan007UT haha
5:40 is that the Andromeda Galaxy in the night sky with the Rainbow Panel?
Can you tell me what equipment you used for the rainbow panel shot ?
We'll be there next week, drones ok or did you fudge that? Great video!
Hey Sam! Thank you for watching and I hope you have a great time at 9 Mile! Drones are governed by the FAA so you are allowed to fly them within their rules and laws. There is lots of private land in 9 Mile Canyon so just be respectful of that. There is also tons of government land too.
@@TheTrekPlanner Good to know, we're staying at 9 mile Ranch while we visit. The shot of the window rock was a show stealer!
@@samphillips4124 That's a great place to stay! Thank you for your kind words! :-)
If you take a still or snapshot of the image, then reverse the color, or polarity, you can see the images better.
Some of the images have six fingers. 😎👍
Some of the images aren't organic beings...
Some of the pics are very high up, how did they not only get up to but stay up until they were done painting?
Great presentation...I am curious as to when, how and by whom the works of art were interpreted and named.
Thanks so much, Glen! Glad you enjoyed it. I would be curious too as to how they were named. I'm sure some of the panels were named by early explorers and pioneers to the area, but who knows for sure!
How the heck did they get up to do the 8:54 ones!
They would use the canyons lowest points to capture rain water for agriculture.
May I ask about the music you use? I absolutely love native American flute and would like to know who the artist is. ❤
Hi Caryl! I use two flute songs in this video, can you tell me which one you're referring to and I can send you a link of the song!
Either one. Love them both!
@@carylosborn1808 I got them off of envato!

I asked for a interpetation...
Below is what I was told.
--
1:19 Divine protection.
The 8 fingered hand represents the Divine On the body of a rattle snake represents protection.
--
3:50
Ant People
Ant person head represents divine connection to the natural world.
The meaning of the Snake with two circles is debated, the sun and moon, male and female, Earth and the sky...
The snake may represent the wisdom of the elders, the journey of the soul, the flow of energy or life force...
--
4:18 Divine guidance in the hunt.
The Ant People may represent the ancestors. In mythology, the Ant People are a benevolent race of beings who helped the people in the past. They are said to be small in stature, but they are very strong and industrious. The depiction of the Ant People in rock art may be a way of honoring the ancestors and their contributions to the people. It represent the people's belief in a benevolent force that helps them to provide for themselves.
--
4:19
Twin Gods of War
This one is the god of peace. A good hunt.
The scene is showing that peace is a powerful force that can overcome even the most dangerous situations.
--
4:33
The Coyote Places the Stars rock art panel
The panel is thought to be over 1,000 years old.
Is a depiction of a creation myth, in which Coyote creates the stars.
Is a great work of art and open to personal reflection and interpetation.
--
5:06
Squiggles and big hand panel
Is a great work of art and open to personal reflection and interpetation.
Meaning debated, Could symbolize water, energy or may have a more personal meaning.
Personal reflection and thought on the meaning of the art is encouraged.
--
7:08
Bear paw
Bears are seen as powerful and spiritual animals.
The bear paw represents the power and strength of the bear spirit.
--
7:14
White ghost pictograph
Is a great work of art and open to personal reflection and interpetation.
Meaning is debated.
1) Could represent the twin gods of war and would be a reminder that peace is far stronger than war.
2) Could represent a depiction of a ghost. Ghosts are often seen as spirits of the dead, and they can be seen as either benevolent or malevolent. The white ghost pictograph may be a way of depicting a benevolent ghost, or it may be a way of warning people of a malevolent ghost/
3) The white ghost may represent the spirit world, or it may represent the unknown. The pictograph may be a way of depicting the connection between the human world and the spirit world, or it may be a way of expressing the fear of the unknown.
Personal reflection and thought on the meaning of the art is encouraged.

8:21
The owl panel rock art panel symbolizes wisdom, knowledge, and the spirit world.

8:29
The black rainbow panel is positive and symbolizes hope, change, and transformation.

The Great Hunt Panel
The Great Hunt Panel is a depiction of a successful hunt.

Hello
They don’t linger very long on the petroglyphs- it’s more of a glance than a tour, you barely get a chance to focus and they move on .
Feel free to pause! Or just visit my link to my website where you can see tons of pictures
6 finger hands depict Nephilim
Skelatons found in association with these would not support this.
Can I add this video to the Nine Mile Canyon page on Facebook?
We should study these and not Egypt.
капиталисты со своей "частной собственностью" совсем обезумели - уже уничтожают древние артефакты, и им срать.
What idiot would put a private property sign across a petroglyph. He should be fined for that. I can’t believe this idiot did this.
They sucked at art compared to the Egyptians
How in the hell did they get to those heights ?
