Larry, there no words... This is SOOO AWESOME, I'm speechless ! Plus, looking at those dwellings brought tears to my eyes... I can't explain why... I LOOOVE the haunting music you used... I love the appreciation you have for the past... ABSOLUTELY LOVELY video... THANK YOU !!! And, I thank the WONDERFUL humans that made this video possible... 😘 ❤😘❤😘
In 1979 I stayed with a Hopi family in Hotevilla, and the grandfather of the family took me to see the Betatakin cliff dwellings. I was especially interested also in the rock art on the right side of the large cave. The one shield-like design by the handprints contains the figure holding a rainbow in each hand. Then the grandfather pointed out the quartered circle that you barely showed around the corner from the shield at 35:15 and to the left of the concentric circles or nested arcs. The grandfather told me the quartered circle is a record of their migration. Three quarters of the circle was painted pinkish and represent the three previous worlds they migrated from that got destroyed. The one quarter that's painted beige represent the fourth world in which we live today. A ranger there told me that sometimes during heavy rainfall a waterfall would cascade over the top of the cliff in front of the large cave, so that the ruins become like a city behind a waterfall. I would give anything to witness that!
Those plants that you said you didn’t like the Native Americans would use those for soap, shampoo, and use the leaves for basket weaving. The pinion pines the would get the pine nuts for food obviously and with the sap boil it down and mix with other herbs plants like the chaparral for putting on cuts and different wounds. It is amazing! If you go into one of the gift shops around there and they have it, buy it! You will never regret it. We can learn so much from them about survival in the desert 🏜 this is one of your best videos Larry! Loved it. ❤️❤️
Larry , this is one of the most Beautiful , Interesting , Amazing , and so so Stunning videos I have ever seen , I'm so Honored that it was you that did this video and shared it with All of us !! Just Incredible My Friend 😊
Captivating video that captures a little known, yet extraordinary archeological wonder. And I found that your delicate expertise with the camera and the hushed wonder in your voice combined to add a reverent, spiritual quality to the explore. I didn't just watch this video; I felt it🙏
This has been everything I thought it would be. We would pass signs to the cliff dwellings while traveling from Missouri to California or Nevada and visa versa. Have always wanted to see this…..thank you thank you thank you!!! Wow….❤️❤️❤️
So glad you were able to go to this remarkable canyon! Such beautiful red, rust colors, I love it! I always do the same thing, wonder about the people who have lived there hundreds of years ago.💕🏜️
Yuppers! My pleasure. I wish I could really explore the site; roam the dwellings survey the natural rock walls, inspect what I think is a large buffalo at the base of the dwellings. I have many questions that the guide could not answer...anywho, maybe another time.

About 1990 they had daily tours. My Wife & I went and the guide took us up into the ruins. There were about 7 of us. Very awesome.
This area is stunning thank you for taking us here
My pleasure Ryssa. Thank you 😊
I have been there two times, first in 1989 with my wife, then in 2009 with my children. It´s a great place. More isn`t to say, a great place
Wow!thank you Larry,another great video,great content,amazing location,love it!
How in the world did you get a private tour of the fascinating cliffs. Wow I’m so glad you got to see them. It’s on my bucket list.

Glad you enjoyed it, stunning place and a great hike for me. I had to share this...awesome place to camp too!

Keep wondering and keep exploring Marie.

I'm thinking pinon pine nuts or possibly juniper berries is what the grinding bowls were for making pine nut flour.
That natural arch reminded me of something out of Raiders of the Lost Arch like you could push on it and it would open like a secret door
I dod not feel like it was even real...I agree. Like I was on a movie set.
Omg this is better than the pyramids and it in our back yard.
A must see
Awesome video Larry! Thank you for sharing ☺️❤️

I think, you are RIGHT, Larry ! The timing in history is, WAY OFF !!! 😊
Speculation only.
