Good vid ! Whars the better direction to ride these trials ?

I came back to watch this video today for the memories. Man, video resolution back then sucked. Believe it or not, I'm still riding the same KTM. 😂 But I also have a big red pig now. Good times.

Currently on 29; do you think 27.5 is adequate for SoMo trails, or 29 probably better for the terrain as it's so rocky.

Well I'm definitely retiring in Flagstaff now!!

Thanks for the video. Another UA-camr was there recently but he didn't give out any details and your video helped me track the location down. I won't be going there, not remotely in the best physical condition to be doing hikes like that anymore. But I was nearby a couple weeks ago and have drone video from the Workman Creek dwellings.

I'll be bringing my bike there soon, it looks like fun. Thanks for sharing.

👍

I never seen these Native American dwelling before, the higher, hardest places seem to the most interesting !!!!! Thank you for filming this location , great work !!!! Be careful not to get hurt !!!! They sure did want. Peace and silence. TERESA

A flood of water came down that canyon, carving out hollows, where ancient peoples would establish homes, until the water levels dropped too far. Then, they'd move to a new location, lower on the wall, until they moved out to the canyon floor, and out onto the plains.

This is all interesting and cool, but is it ethical. As mentioned in the statment below, in the 1980's the site had considerably more artifacts. I believe current etiquette is "Dont touch, enter or crawl on historical structures.

15 minutes watching someone walk? No thanks.

What the address Im moving in

According to Leave No Trace (LNT) Principles, you must leave what you find and not alter the areas around you. This includes any archaeological resources and sites. If you see an artifact, don’t touch it and leave it where you found it. If you encounter an old adobe structure, do not climb or enter. In 1979, the Archeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA) was signed into place. This law was an improvement upon a previous act and allowed for better definitions of what archaeological resources are and what violations can receive penalties. According to Section 3 of ARPA, archaeological resources are material remnants of the lives of past humans, which are of archaeological significance. Some examples include pottery, glass bottles, stone tools (arrowheads, etc.), stone walls, and many more. The key thing here is that they are items that are 100 years old or more. If these archaeological resources are violated by a person, they may receive a penalty under the law. Violations are listed in Section 6 and include such acts as digging, vandalizing, removing, selling, and even purchasing archaeological resources. Penalties under ARPA vary on how much damage was done and if it is a repeated offense. ARPA fines can range between $10,000 and $100,000 and could include imprisonment-aka some serious stuff. Looting and any other form of violation of ARPA lead to heritage loss. By removing artifacts from their original context in an archaeological site, we lose key information about where humans came from, how they evolved, and what their culture was like. The archeological record tells the story of all of us and is, therefore, incredibly worth protecting.

All the disrespect shown in this video. Please watch other channels who show nothing but respect for this historic locations. Maybe head over to The trek planner and learn how you guys need to approach these locations and take notes. Because your stupidity was showing!

Cool I would have guessed that hiking to a 'crack house' would be that awesome 💯🤭

Above workman falls is a good dwelling to explore

I love the Sierra anchas young would be my first choice to live in Arizona again

The ravine below was probably filled with water, when the peoples who built that, and many of the other Anasazi dwellings, lived in the region. The Anasazi were descendants of the Fremont People, who began moving into southern Utah circa 700-500BC,, when the area was still mostly flooded, an inland sea covering the area from the gap at the eastern end of the Uintah Mountains, to the Mogollon Rim, north-south, and from the San Francisco Peaks, on the west, to the Sierra Nacimientos, on the east. It took the better part of two millennia (the water arrived centuries before the Fremonts) for the water to drain away, and when it did, when life-enabling water was too far away, the Anasazi "walked away", in search of "greener" pastures, leaving all the ruins, the ridge-top their earliest abodes, the cliff-sides the interim residences, and the plains constructs, like Chaco and Wupatki, late-term, or "the water is going away", locations.

By your breathing difficulty you must be around 5 thousand feet above sea level. Those might be burial grounds

There where tough people that live there.

Beautiful country nice and quiet like to live there .

What was there food intake up there so high.

It’s amazing to think of the people that lived there

Interesting never been there

What were these cliff dwellers so afraid of?

You pegged the Pucker Meter on that hill!

Do you ever find any artifacts or has someone taken them all and where did they bury their people ?

You need to hold the camera steadier and take time to slowly scan structures and walls. The shots are too fleeting to make hards or tails of the ruins.

Wow thats cool. Thanks for the footage hiking in. Now I know I cant do that! Lol

Man to Man Wolf!!!😳

I found and visited this ruin twice in the 1980s, the original ladders were still in place at that time. It wasn’t listed on any map that we had. Miniature corncobs were scattered throughout on the cave floor. I remember the turn in the cave and the “porch” overlook. I had no idea of the name, The Crack House. Thanks fo posting, your video brought back a lotta memories.

Rode here last year. So much fun, tech rock crawling.

Isn't "accelerated deterioration" due to thoughtless people climbing on and into these ruins as well as stomping around inside?

A wonderful hike- the cliff dwelling was astounding- I watched that part again, and will again later, I'm sure. How I would love to stay there (with the utmost respect) for a few days to clear my mind and get back to nature! The Prickly Pear '"skeleton'" just above the turn in the trail is fun to see. Thanks very much, guys!

dude! I can hear your heartbeat on the camera recording..

not very pleasant staring at the moving ground. that wood work is not that old. They could not cut boards and beams like that.

And to think back in the day the natives who inhabited those dwellings probably made the climb barefoot.🤔

Did you guys hike all 3 ruins in the same day? I have a 2.5 day trip out there in a few weeks, first time there. I have “routes” planned to the 3 ruins that you show, 3 other sites, and some of the rim above. Found your video as I’m doing my research. Knowing the mileage wld be brutal, cld a strong hiker get all 3 of the spots that you show within a day?

My favorite hike

I want to have a bbq in the wind cave with the waterfall view

I grew up riding these trails!

What’s the climb up like for a Texan??

I just attempted these ruins yesterday, its a scary trail! I didn't make is to the ruins. going to try again next year!

Amazing to consider why people would go to such lengths to build so high up and far away. I can't help but think it was because of other waring nations or tribes. It couldn't be just because of the water source. amazing building techniques. I recently learned about much older huge megalithic structures in Montana. Sage Mountain. HUGE boulders fitted together perfectly in walls like you find in S. America and Russia. Thanks for the video.

another videographer who thinks the ground is the most important thing in the video!

Whoa that looks tough! It also looks like tubless is a good option. Nice video!

Some serious chunk.

Nice adventure. Thanks for the effort.

those drops have been there forever /s

Hi, i got the same bike and it easy survived the Mega Avalanche in France last year. No problems at all. But i weight about 65 KG and i'm a small guy.
