Searching for History
United States
Приєднався 24 лип 2022
Searching for History is all about finding history. This channel is a history documentary and sometimes a travel vlog. We are history travelers and plan our off-road adventures, European vacations, and even our local day trips around exploring history. In addition to history videos, we hope to offer you travel tips that are useful on history seeking adventures. These UA-cam videos will focus on history in the Pacific Northwest, the American Southwest, and European history. We love all sorts of history including: human history (historical and prehistoric), archaeology discoveries, and natural history. If it’s old, we want to find it, film it, and share it with you! Hopefully, after watching these videos you will feel inspired to go out in the world and find your own history adventures.

Whas it a mistake to take Arizona Highway 163 through Monument Valley?
On this episode of Searching for History, Erin and I are driving through the Navajo Nation on our way to Moab, Utah. When we reach Kayenta, Arizona we have a choice of taking the shorter route by staying on Arizona Highway 160 and taking Highway 191 North to Moab or taking the slower route, Highway 163 through Monument Valley. We decided to take Highway 163 through Monument Valley because we always wanted to see this scenic part of Arizona. Was the longer route worth it? Watch this episode to find out! Join us as we drive Arizona Highway 163 through Monument Valley.
