Hiking to Ancient Ruins That Have Survived Over 800 Years!  @BackcountryExposure
Uploaded November 2024 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
Join me in exploring a remote desert canyon to find ancient ruins of the ancestral Pueblo people of the American Southwest. This area is known to be rich with history and ruins of this ancient civilization from 800 to 1200+ years ago. I had been planning this trip for nearly 3 years, and finally made it happen, and it turned out to be one of the most rewarding experiences I've had in 2024. Enjoy this exploration of an ancient people, ruins, and petroglyphs/pictographs in these remote desert canyons.
