While Backpacking, I found America's Buried Treasure
Вставка

- Stories of a lost treasure in a remote canyon led me to backpacking for 3 days in hopes of finding it.
After hiking many miles and uncovering traces of ancient history on the way, I found something incredible at the very end. I left this place convinced there is far more to be discovered here.
As always, please leave a place better than you found it. Thanks for watching, and make sure to subscribe to The_POV_Channel for lots more like this.

Nothing like having a loyal dog that will do anything and go anywhere with you. I just lost mine, Pearl, she was a 14 year old lab. Great videos bud, job well done.
So sorry to hear that....
Sorry to hear that, Josh. They really do become our best friends and supporters in life. Rest assured she'll be patiently waiting for you to reunite with her like all good dogs do :)
sorry for your loss Josh
I'm so sorry you lost your sweet dog. Both of my Labs died in the same spring about 5 years ago, one of cancer and the other of old age, so I know how it feels to lose dogs. Now I have a Great Pyrenees and a Lab, Rottweiler mix. I love them just as much!
A great hike!
I can no longer hike, so I am rediscovering my love of nature through channels like yours. Please, keep up the hard work; we armchair enthusiasts need you!
love them too
I'm only 27 and don't really do much anymore, your comment inspires me. I want to do as much as I can now while I am still young.
@@XP1-hn9tq go out, start walking. Find interesting places to walk. Walking will help you think and plan. Visit parks, forests, and other peaceful places. I live near the Red River Gorge in eastern Kentucky. It has several natural arches and natural shelters. I would cycle there and camp in the gorge. I used to explore caves, but lost my nerve.
We sure do!! Thanks!
@@XP1-hn9tqdo it now! Tomorrow’s not promised. Was extremely active until my early 50’s, when a spinal cord tumor and surgery caught up to me, and I can no longer move without pain. Even walking. I used to ride my mountain bike for over an hour each evening, at a really fast pace. I LOVED it! I lived just a few miles from a wildlife refuge, and saw ALL kinds of wildlife, plants, trees...just beautiful!!! DO I T!!!❤❤❤
This is hands down the most beautiful canyon I've ever seen. Thank you for allowing me to witness this amazing part of our country.
The doggie was like, " No dad! Don't go into the big, dark, wet hole of death!" We don't deserve dogs. Absolutely amazing find!
It sounded like he had a owl with him.
I agree i have 6 doggos all my best mates,ranging in size from 2.5 kg to 30 kgs! I spend all my days with them im so thankful for them and this awesome young mans channel! 😊
Thank you, allowing me to live vicariously through your eyes. Many years ago I was a wilderness backpacker. We once did a canyon in AZ very similar to this, through the water for a couple of days. Wonderful memories. The only thing that concerns me about you, and the others with similar channels, is each of you doing these hikes solo. I was a Girl Scout for 10 years so it was ingrained in me to always have a buddy with you. You just never know what unforeseen circumstance could lead to tragedy if you are alone, and sadly you might not survive. That being said, I am disabled and very sick and mostly homebound now, and being able to “go along with you”, and see places such as this, that are as beautiful as anything I have ever seen, takes me away from my reality, and lets me feel free and adventurous. Thank you again, and I pray that you and your beautiful dog are always safe, and at the end of the day, always return home, until your next adventure. BTW- you already found the treasure…
Yes he did didn't he
@@robertevans9354 I wrote that before I saw the end lol.
He's not alone. Someone is filming him.
Always great photography and I really appreciate the lack of unnecessary talking. The scenery speaks for itself. Thank you.
You earn every penny, Brother, and I can't thank you enough for taking us along!!
Love your pooch. He’s not happy when you are out of sight. What a great dog 🥰. Hope he was greatly rewarded once home.
That dog is just an incredible, loyal dog.
Poor thing was exhausted. He needs to have a rig to carry him if needed. His paws were probably getting cut up after being wet.
Will you be mine and join me moving on 4 legs. 😊😊😊
Your dog is awesome!!! What an absolute sweet angel. Love your videos. I really enjoy them. Thank you
Right!!
Agreed 👍🎉
Has to be one of the hardest hikes I’ve seen on YT and with your pup. Stay safe brother!
You should see how hard it is to get to escobar’s crashed plane
What a beautiful film and a heart warming companionship of a good dog.
As always this ole man appreciates seeing your video adventures. Heart sinks a little when your faithful buddy whines to join you at the one pool. Again thanks for your great words and videos.
Mine too like yanking the carpet out from underneath
I know that you were gonna say that the area is the treasure and your absolutely correct!!❤❤❤
Very well done Nolan!by letting us viewers travel silently with you in the first sections of the hike, you provided us a very tactile and personal experience. The lack of narration at the start was the ideal way to present the wondrous landscape..allowing the birds and the song of water to be all that was needed to be heard. That really made it more of a mystical journey.
Deep Gratitude for your True Spirit..
expressed!
Yes and thank you for not covering up nature with godawful music. Nature is the best music! Beautiful trip. Thank you for sharing. 🥰
@@samiamismeagreed! The birdsong, and sounds of wind through the trees is some of the sweetest sounds I know!😊😊😊
you have, hands down, the best dog that ever lived.
Absolutely beautiful country right there, you are so blessed to do what you are doing.
Thank you for the hard work! You have the most loyal dog!
Insane trip. Beautiful location I could only ever dream of visiting. What it must be like to experience such peace and quiet and solitude.
Thank you very much for this well balanced video, as in non greed related. The clickbait is a good one, and covers what you are teaching us all about. Instead of Gold, Money and other perishable material, you've shown us the absolute beauty of the natural landscape !
Thank you ✨️ 😊
For a nice walk / whit HISTORY from Denmark 🇩🇰
I'm from Arkansas and never thought about the fact that historical as well as prehistorical sites were washed away as a result of our several dams. Thank you for the education and beautiful views.
Спасибо за прекрасное путешествие !!! Великолепное видео и конечно переживал за вашу собаку - это настоящий друг, берегите его !!!
Your adventures are currently the best on UA-cam. Keep up the good work, which I know is the editing of the videos. I bet the hikes are a lot of work, but you are constantly reenergized while you are in nature and then all your discoveries are just the icing on the cake.
REQUEST: You talked about all the animals, can we get more shots of those guys?
Thank you for editing and posting. I now you'll be out there regardless but this lets everyone explore places they will never go.
Thanks for taking me with you. Like your dog
I would have liked to see every single second of this hike; that's how much I enjoyed your video! Thanks for this great content.
You Dog is so amazing. You couldn't have a better companion for your trips, as you know. Love this, awe inspiring adventure.
Alas, my hiking days are behind me. Your videos are so enjoyable: a man and his dog. How I wish I were with you. The Glen Canyon Dam, after Hoover Dam, is the most abominable dam ever built. It was good to see life returning to that once pristine land.
I'm impressed by that floating backpack strategy.
Your camera work is so dynamic. I love it when the drone follows you especially.
Seems like you walked so far you literally went back in time, the last Man on earth!
Friend, most of us cannot thank YOU enough for allowing to see places that we would otherwise never be able to. I'm so very grateful to have found your channel, thank you!
A real man. There are so few of them in the world today among young people. Best wishes from Russia.
Mebbe I'm chicken, but I've heard those canyons can be like r-e-a-l-l-y dangerous. If it rains upstream, you won't know it until you get a wall of water and logs and mud-borne rocks and junk right in your face. Most dogs don't rope climb, either, so even if you had some pitons and rope for a hasty change in altitude, you've got a dog under arm. That guy must love the outdoors adventure!
He's an educated person and smart enough to do his research, know the signs of impending danger, and would also want to keep his dog safe. So I don't think we have too much cause to be worried here. He likely checks the weather risks. Thankfully in the desert Southwest the weather is sunny and predictable most of the year (Winter being a big exception).
Stunning video! I camped at Lake Powell in the 80's and the water was so clear we'd waterski over spires 10 feet below that looked like you would trip on them. There was no biodiversity like you've shown and I've always wondered was below the surface. Mystery solved! Nature does reclaim what it wants. Thanks for bringing attention to this issue. Give your pup a hug for me. They're great companions.
In the 80's Lake Powell and Lake Mead were spectacular back then. They were over 1000 feet deeper. It takes 26 minutes to walk to the new Boulder Beach from where the beach was in 1984.
Beutiful location, the video has some stunning shots too.
Fantastic video 2x👍
That was really nice to go on the hike with u and dog. It was awesome to see something I would of never seen. Can't wait for the next adventure.!!!
I loved the sounds of crunching over gravel and dried vegetation. Visually mesmerizing. Thank you Nolan and pup.
Unbelievably amazing….wow. Wow. Wow kept coming out of my mouth….thank you so much for sharing with us Nolan, you are a special guy….❤❤❤❤
Stunning beauty! Loyal amazing dog! My youngest son named Nolan too and his first son also - great name 🌅
So breathtakinly beautiful ! Thank you for taking us with you on your journeys.
I so enjoyed seeing your dog when you pan around the canyon! Love hiking in those canyons! Tough and scary but the things you see!
Dude you've got such a good dog, everytime I watch one of these I'm always in awe of how down for anything he is. Perfect companion
I am glad you bring us these video's , for most of us will NEVER see these places. I will be gone but man wants to control EVERYTHING on this planet EXCEPT MAN. Not unlike ants that move once they exhaust their food supply , Man will do the same and have no place to move to.
Ants are just like men. Half of them carry the ant eggs in one direction, half in the other direction, the large half usually wins, and ant life goes on in spite of the absurdity. But ants aren't very intelligent, are they?
Aw ! just watched for the first time and enjoyed it very much. I love your dog and how he worries about you, he is awesome!! So very interesting to see the high water line. I'm from Scotland and 83 now but have seen a lot of America from coast to coast but these old buildings fascinate me and how long they have lasted. the sounds of the birds, and that crawdad you found in the water,....thank you.
Incredible! Thank you for sharing your journey.
Amazing.
I love watching you go to places that I wish that I could go to being 74 now watch these places though your eyes and thanks for taking your dog with you .
This video was the most scary one I have watch ! Very beautiful ,very challenging waking ,all extremely hard to do. ❤
Thanks for taking me along on your adventure. What a wonderful area!
Thank you taking us with you on such a beautiful hike, it really was spectacular. The blue/green of some of those algal blooms in some of those more stagnant pools,would have made me worry,not,just for my self ,but,particularly for my dog. I different parts of the World & even in dull,old England,they can - if its the wrong kind,be dangerous to fish animals & humans. Years ago having swum in rivers,lakes & waterholes Al over the world, I - with a group of equally drunk friends swam across The Serpentine in the middle of Hyde Park,in the centre of London,we all made it home,the ones who "chickened out" ,but,kindly carried our clothes,were absolutely fine. The rest of us idiots were not only on antibiotics, but,in some case had to deal with a really itchy rash over the whole body. There were two who swallowed water while swimming & they were so sick, they spent days in hospital!
I do understand the need for infrastructure when you're building a "better" environment for the humans of the present, but,it does make one wander justvwhat has been lost - forever - worldwide?
If you've heard of GöbekliTepe &,other sites in the region, you might know that the discovery of this incredible place,quite literally rewrote the history of humanity overnight! It's stunning, I went to see this incredible site that is more than 6 000 years older than Stonehenge & met Klaus Schmidt, who luckily was already in the area trying to save what he could from the soon to be built dam. Thanks to some hopeless archeology students from The University of Chicago, who were shadowed in the field by Turkish archaeology students,this incredible site had been dismissed as unworthy of saving,have said itvwas little but a 2nd rate example of a Byzantine Graveyard! As a result the site was a couple of weeks away from being dynamited to rubble to be used in the creation of the dam.
Thank The Goddess for Mr Schmidt, who using every contact he had was able to combat human & bureaucratic indifference and sadly died after working one one of the most important sites,found so far. In the area there are now,I believe 12(?) similar sites but we're still no nearer an answer.
Sadly for everyone one of you,in America there is a group of MAGA supporters, who couldn't care about history or the indigenous cultures of North America,with amazing discoveries made if not daily then at least monthly. Of the amazing earthworks, mounds etc found right across the continent by early European incomers there is now less than 10% of documented sites still in existence! Unlike Europe, many sites on private land are utterly ignored by owners of the land,if they themselves haven't already dug into them with heavy machinery hoping for gold,not realising, like you so eloquently displayed,that not all treasure is to be exploited.It's hard having grown up,visiting Egypt at least every 2 years,Greece every year & sailed all around the Mediterranean both Northern & Southern Coasts,up into the Black Sea & even sailed from Gibraltar to The Azores,I find it hard to comprehend the mentality that would flood or destroy a part if the history of a land so many now call home.
I still find it hard that the quality of your awesome filming & editing is done by you alone and you are only accomplished by your legend of a dog & your drone/s. Kudos,for such awesome content & it's very quality you also have an excellent voice for narrating you videos,impressed & very appreciative.
Have a great weekend.Very best wishes to you & yours,am as ever looking forward to the next one.
WoW! what a beautiful place. I'm way too old for that type of hiking so thanks millions for taking me along. What a great doggie, he was hilarious rolling in the mud. Well done sir!
Thank you. I remember how horrified I was when this project was begun. I am very happy to see that it has not lasted, and nature is reclaiming this beautiful canyon.
Which project? I must've missed it in the video.
@@FarginIceholeful The project to build the dam that killed the canyon.
@@julieisthatart Ohh. Glen Canyon Dam. Yeah I lived in Flagstaff for a spell and heard all about it.... From both sides. Both have good points.
1980's - Wow, 40+ years ago boated on Lake Powell with my son... who is still a guide in the area ! Time flies when you're livin' it ! Spectacular Trek ! Thanks for takin' us along ! 🙏BGP 2 U.
You have the perfect Road Dog to see all that beautiful scenery. Keep livin' the dream.
What you're doing is really important, your videos will serve as a historical record of the radical changes in the areas landscape.... Thank you 👍
I want to watch your videos on a VR set. I miss hiking like this. I LOVE this video! Thanks for taking us along.
What stories your dog must tell to his neighborhood doggo friends...... beautiful video, thanks!
Thank you for sharing our world’s beautiful treasure. I cannot wait for more.
Such a Cool place, Thanks for Sharing 👊🏻
Very beautiful!!🎉 KEEP HIKING. PET YOUR 🐶 AND THANK YOU FOR FILMING!!❤❤🎉🎉😂
I love to watch your hikes Nolan.
Thabk you for showing me this amazing journey you took.
I doubt ill ever get to do anything close to this for financial and physical reasons so your videos are treasures for me, thank you and please be safe on your journeys.
What a great trip!!! Thanks for taking me along 👍🏻
Awesome footage of countryside with man's best friend at your side, love your journey ❤😊😂
Stunning beauty, what an epic journey that was!
You are one of my heros! Hiking days in and sleeping on the red rocks under the stars. My idea of a perfect week or weekend. Cool. Thank You for taking us along.At 21:03, looks like there used to be sometimes there and the cliff collapsed on whatever it was. That big flat space looks mighty suspicious to me. Anywhere along Lake Powell and Lake Mead has possible Native ruins. Those lakes cover a lot of Native settlements and some white settlements too. It's a shame the government could do something that changes the ecological systems so extreme that it should be illegal to put water where it doesn't belong. Beavers are the only animal who should be allowed to make dams. The bigger the dam, the bigger the disaster, and the bigger the damage when they fail.
Incredible.
How come his on-the-road filter coffee looks tastier than anything I've ever mustered
Mustard in your coffee? Ok
Awesome Nolan! Thanks for taking us here!
Love this channel, it's my glimpse into another world from here in the north of England, thanks Nolan.
Thank you so much. I really enjoy watching your channel and witnessing the interesting places you find. You are awesome and dont ever stop. Love your dog!.
Nolan I absolutely love your work brother. You and Desert drifter rock my world every week. I'm currently in Texas but it by the end of the month will be in or in Utah. My wife and I are packing up 47 years of our lives and throwing it in an RV. When we get to Utah we will be taking care of my mother and after that documenting and filming the roads in southern Utah that my family built from the Haymond and Whighting Construction Co, in the early 1900s. 👍🏻👁️
Wow! Just incredible beauty and its ever changing landscape. So interesting I can't stop watching your videos.Places untouched and frozen in time Stay safe and blessings!!
Awesomly well done video! This was incredibly lovely. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us!
An absolutely fascinating adventure. I for one am so grateful you chose to share this and allow us to come along for the ride. Also, the way your puppeh dog was literally saying in doggy language "OMG, Be careful out there!" as you waded deeper into that water.. ADORABLE!! Thanks so much!
This is easily THE most beautiful hike you've taken me on to date. Breathtaking would be the word. I don't know if anyone else noticed all the
extra stuff all along the way...... I cannot help but comment. Rocks that look like giant fish, giant seashells, whales, dragons, saddled horses hitched to posts in the side of cliffs, angry birds, giants, giant bears, enormous snakes, huge cats, mermaids, and so many more. Hell, toward the end, I even saw 2 witches. ( I mean they were riding brooms.)
The opening scenes on the inside cave walls, I easily spent the better part of an hour looking at all that. Lots of gigantic animals and birds. There also appeared to be a couple of vessels, drawn on the water as if you're looking down on them, boats perhaps, sparkling, shiny lights, pretty colors, I think a pretty lady on board? Even saw a car somewhere along the way.
Those images of sun on walls at end of narrow sections are stunning.
This was awesome....truly. One of the best videos we have watched in years. Thank you.
I enjoy watching all your adventures
Excellent Hike, and Wonderful Scenery, many thanks from England, Cheers.
Thank you so much! You give us the opportunity to see some of the most gorgeous locations on our Mother Earth. Love to you!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!! SHOUT OUT to truth and GREAT story line! Brilliant, genuine. Great exploration. Keep diving into the leadings of your spirit. Those of us are reminded to as well. Might just be an uncommon adventure, inspiration. Even to and especially to be kind, and help someone who can’t pay us back. Simple. Not the same as exploring as you do, but there is incredible inspiration released watching. I think you’re certainly undaunted. Thank you!!!!!
You're the bravest man I've seen in awhile! The incredible stamina you have, how did you train for forced marching.. that's what it compares to I think. Be safe brother
It has always broken my heart of the treasured and beautiful history that has been lost under the waters of Glen Canyon Dam!
We have many wonderful memories of boating and camping there! A place we would probably never have been able to see without Lake Powell. However, I don't think Glen Canyon Dam should have NEVER been built!
The question will forever be...what all have been lost?!
Thanks so much for showing us a fragment of some of it❤!!
I'm looking forward to showing my husband this video! Thank's so much!...and your dog is a champ, for sure!👍
Your dog is living life better than most people. You need to carry a small raft for your buddy. Great show.
WOWZER’S!! This was 1 of the best / informative hiking videos I’ve seen in a long time & I watch several other hiking channels as well. Nolan, when are you going to put up a Patreon Page? Your videos are awesome/your channel is growing > 🤗. Thanks to you & Tuie’ (sure I butchered your dog’s name) for the hard work & taking us along. 👍🇺🇸 Safe travels young man!!
Among many things about this channel, I love the pictographs. I wonder if they are being systematically documented.
Wow.. tks for taking us on this journey.. ❤ superb discovery!
Thanks for taking us along Nolan it's absolutely wonderful and amazingingly beautiful. Such a treasure is beyond priceless. 👍💥
LOVE ALL THAT TREASURE THANKS FOR BRINGING US ALONG 👍🙏>>>💚
Excellent video !!! what a place to travel through ...............
Beautiful historical video. Excellent idea 👊❤️
Yep, absolute treasure trove, stunning place and the dog ain't bad either X
I actually adore you, your channel, your videos, your dog..... everything.
I think all those landscapes are the remaining of an ancient civilization and that our earth is way different from what they told us. Love from Rome
Thank you for doing such a difficult & unusual hike. When I was about 6 years old (1953) my parents, who were on the forefront of the movement to preserve wilderness areas, took me & my twin brother to see & hike in Glen Canyon which was soon to be under water. I feel so grateful for the heritage they gave me of love for wilderness areas & the desire to see them preserved.
You are so right! True treasure is nature!
Youre right. It is a beautiful hidden treasure!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!❤
Beautifull! The world has so many treasures. Thank you for sharing.
What a dedicated dog he is
Gorgeous. God Bless Him.
🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕💙💙
I wish Edward Abbey could see this. Another beautifully photographed hike with thoughtful narration. Chewy is pretty awesome too. I am looking forward to your next posting. 27:08
That was frickin awesome! Way to go, bud🤟
