Fremont Village and Defensive Position Part 2
This was suppose to be a quick trip into the canyon to explore some ruins that I spotted on a raised peninsula of land. It turns out to be much much more than i anticipated. In this one site we will discover seldom seen petroglyphs, a forgotten cave, Fremont Pit House and the most amazing defensive position/look out tower. Unfortunately this will probably be a four part series, who wants to sit through a 3 hour narration. So, sit back and enjoy these bite size videos. Thanks for Watching and traveling along with me.

these are a group of petroglyphs located above Rasmussen cave in the Nine Mile canyon, also known as the longest art gallery in the world. The petroglyphs date from 900 to 1200 years ago and then from up to 300 years ago for the newer ones created by the Ute Nations. The initial petroglyphs were from the Fremont Culture and subsequent petroglyphs are from the Ute Nations.

This is a butte in Ninemile Canyon on the south side of Ninemile Creek across from Rasmussen Cave and Big Daddy Canyon. These Petroglyphs are high up and hard to find in an odd location. The ones I found were located NE, N and NW primarily. There looked like the remains of several structures but I’ll have to go back and take another look.

Just subscribed, I love this original content! Its truly amazing the structures are still there after all these years. I didn't see Franks canyon on the map, this is in Nine mile also right? Curious, did you see any elk out there?
Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed it. Look for franks canyon road, Utah and it should show up. No, I did not see any elk but I did meet some elk hunters. They said the elk were higher up.
anyone could have piled those rocks at anytime. 50 years ago or a thousand
@@standingbear998 or 1200 or more years ago. Yep you are correct in your brief statement but that is what makes it so interesting, it could have been much longer ago as well. Most scholars believe in the date being older than 50 years old. I have questions when the walls are dry stacked, but if you look closely and watch the videos you'll see I point out where the original mud bobbing is still between the stacks. But everybody has their opinion and what they want to believe. Take the videos for enjoyment and do your own research. Thanks for watching. Don't forget to subscribe for more. Be safe
Hey Cowboy. I think I saw you a couple of times up 9 mile canyon about 2 weeks ago. I love your down to earth videos. I’m probably about your age and if you ever need a partner in this area I would the opportunity. I am very new to this area, moved to Price about 6 weeks ago. I have always loved exploring. In the early 70’s my uncle and I climbed up to a spot that we could see a wall. This was at lake Powell and we climbed from the waters edge using hand holds carved out by the ancient peoples that lived there. It was a good hundred feet up but what a find. The walls all had mud with finger indentations where they had pushed the mud in. I don’t know if it was a child or an adult but their fingers were smaller then my. I remember that there was corn cobs laying on the floor. They were 4 or 5 inches long. We left everything as it was. My uncle taught me not to take or disturb things. In hindsight sight I wish I had taken one of the corn cobs because with in a few years it would have been under water. It saddens me that so many of these sites were destroyed by that lake and all the loss due to vandalism. Those things are Irreplaceable. Now I’m retired and on my own and live in an area rich in that lost culture and i plan on exploring as much as I can before I can no longer do it. I’m serious if you need help on a hunt I’m am willing and able. I have a question, going up 9 Mile Canyon there were signs all over say that it was all private property and you could only view the pictograph’s from the road. Doing some research on line there are people saying that a lot of the previously posted areas are now open. Do you know if that is true and is Franks canyon marked the same way. Any info on that and where I can look to find other sites would be greatly appreciated My name is Dave.
@@davidsadler4878 evening Dave, sorry that was probably not me. I have been up in Maine for about 4 months. I am hoping to get back out to Utah this winter. If I do, we can definitely meet up and do some exploring. Thanks for watching and I am glad you liked them
@@davidsadler4878 can't speak much about franks canyon, I know that private property is well marked up w nine miles and you have to stop but the rest of the canyon is pretty much open to exploring. The lower canyon has a lot of private property but the upper canyon is nice to get out and explore. You know what they say.. .. just be respectful.
Back in the time these dwellings were built those ledges were probably 20 ft wide. All that material that collapsed and is now laying at the base of the wall is hard to tell what that's covering up? There could be a cave system there at the bottom that's been covered by debris.
Sorry It took me so long to respond, I thought I had. I agree what is hiding under the debris? Take Rasmussen cave, they excavated quite deep under the flooring I understand. I did get into one cave up there that was completely.... Well not completely but significantly filled with sand. What was under all that sand. Almost me😜 as I had to find another way out than the one I came in on. Safe travels and thanks for watching
I sure enjoyed my time with you today. The videos were very enjoyable.
@@arlahunt4240 Thanks! I feel bad, I have one more video to post but.... I wish I could re shoot some of the pictures. I am up in Maine now but hopefully I will be back in the desert this winter. Thanks again and I am glad you enjoyed them.
I have been there some of the petroglyphs I haven't seen before ! Great video !
@@lynnhavili5332 thanks, I can't wait to get back out there. There are some truly wild petroglyphs out there
You can’t make arrow heads out of that type of stone.
🤔 first arrow head I ever found in Arizona was made of red sandstone. And I am also a knapper and have made them out of slate, shale and sandstone. I am with you, they are not a sturdy point but they can be made when other material is not readily available. Also I just did it for fun to see if I could. But thanks for watching. Be safe and I hope you enjoyed them.
More than 2,000 years, less than 2,750 years. Ironically, 2,750 years ago is about when Western Culture began to dig itself out of the chaos, rubble, and devastation of the preceding 1,700 years, and resume its trek toward civilization!
Ninemile Canyon at its north end, was dug by the last of the water that flooded southern UT, west-southwestern CO, northwestern NM, and northeastern AZ, that I mention elsewhere, creating what I refer to as Lake Anasazi, a nearly 400-mile northwest to southeast, and 300-mile east to west inland sea that occupied the Four Corners region for nearly 3 millennia, before finally draining away, in the f1st Millennium AD, leaving the Anasazi, descendants of the Fremonts, to walk away in search of greener pastures. A massive amount of water poured over southern Wyoming, into Utah, pooling above the line of the Uinta Mountains, at the gap where Ninemile Canyon sits, eventually digging out the length of that canyon, as all the water began drain away, two thousand years later. It probably took close to a millennium for the water to make its way to the lowest spots, then down into the Grand Canyon, and off to the distant Gulf of Baja California.
Civilization moving forward. Now instead of pictures we use..... Pictures 👍
@@thecowboyandtheaccountant753 The overwhelming sense of ennui, because the Universe dwarfs us to insignificance, causes us to desperately lash out, to leave some indelible trace. Those "petroglyphs" were the only canvas available to the Anasazi and Fremont People. I am of the opinion the "hands" were a "me too!" movement long ago, by those caught in the web of time, when there were no cameras, interstates, or internets, only another day in an isolated wilderness, with despair, danger, and death their only options, besides "grin and bear it".
The "crumbled area" in between, 1:38--1:53, looks like mangled debris (I'm sure there is a proper geological term, but I don't recall it), created when the upper slab of unbroken ancient strata was pushed into place, by the same forces that elevated the Colorado Plateau, up and over the chunks of its continuation, now underneath. The immense weight of the upper piece would have liquefied any debris caught between, pushing it under, to create the "band" that acted as "grease", to facilitate the move. When the pieces stopped moving, the water that had invested the region began its exit, leaving the assemblage to dry out in the desert sun for almost 4,000 years.
Imagine living in that region, without the lined coat, scarf, hat, and boots, in the temperatures visible in your video. The people who first passed through there, often called First Man, and First Woman, or variations on the theme, survived something that maybe hinted at, in those wall drawings. Imagine what people will think, in a thousand years, of us, our graduate level society of mobility, transience, and excess, trying to read the scraps left to them (something will inevitably happen). The Fremont People, who occupied the cliff-tops, -sides, and the earliest shelters at the bases of the cliffs, were ancestors of the Anasazi, who build a grand trading empire from Chaco and other cities they established, then walked away from it in the 13th Century AD. They endured tremendous hardships, during a 9,000 mile "Long Walk", from the Russian Steppes, to the Four Corners, over a two-thousand-year period. The Anasazi emerged around the time of Jesus, were gone a little more than a thousand years later. The petroglyphs may point to what stories they told themselves, on the Long Walk, passed down father to son, a time of chaos and turmoil the Fremont and Anasazi understood well, having witnessed the end of the period, and what the forces it unleashed had done to the region, as they moved down, and out. So much water, the flanks of two volcanic peaks were stripped away, in northeastern Wyoming, at Devil's tower, and at Shiprock, in northwestern New Mexico, the water entering the west in the former, exiting the Four Corners, in the latter. Petroglyphs are a way to pass on a message beyond the typical stretch of human awareness, perhaps a few hundred years, for the most part. The ancient art was done about 2,500 years ago, but some of it eerily mirrors drawings done in caves estimated to be much older, by six times and more. Humans have been around for up to 300 thousand years, so I imagine quite a few have considered how to reach across time. Certainly, Cheops did it best, but whomever built the Sphinx probably wins the length of time contest.
@@TheAnarchitek like most ratings of a time, the language was so common that it was never thought to be passed down..... Until it was lost
I was born and raised in that area. 1940 to 1957. I am 84 now and love seeing the videos you folk make of that aera. I still long to go back. Thanks for posting.
@@fredrossman1189 WOW! The stories you must be able to tell. So much has been lost....stolen since you were there I bet. I am glad you were able to come along
A lotta water coursed down that canyon, toward the end of Lake Anasazi, as the waters began to recede. The Fremont People emerged in northern Utah, near the confluence of the Wasatch Front with the transverse Uintah Mountains. Where you are standing, at the beginning of this video would have been "beach-front living" about 2,500 years ago! As the water continued to fall, the Fremonts moved off the ridges, onto the cliff-sides, then onto the plains, where they became Anasazi. A thousand years later, they left in search of greener pastures, leaving one of archaeology's enduring mysteries. What is stranger, though, is why they came, in the first place, and why they stayed. Water in that canyon was deeper than the tops of the cliffs. Lake Anasazi stretched from up near Helper UT, down to Pie Town NM, more than 400 miles, south by southeast, from the San Francisco Peaks, to the Sierra Nacimientos. For more than 1,500 years, the region was probably very different from what we know today, blessed with plenteous water, attracting game of every type, and allowing them to raise crops without fear of drought or lack of rain. The hillsides show steadily falling water levels as clearly as a neon sign. If you doubt it, tell me WHERE did they get the mud? The world was turned on its ear, upended and possibly reversed, leaving the survivors to figure out a way to go on. Starting way up in Alaska, on the killing plains of central Alaska, their ancestors had trekked along the eastern flanks of the Canadian Rockies, leaving "medicine wheels" along the way, reaching the present northern boundary of the US around 1000BC, making it into central Utah about three centuries later. The real story is "Why?" What caused primitive people to leave families and friends, on the Russian Steppes, to begin an unimaginable journey across Siberia, into Alaska, Canada, and the northern US? This, before they walked out onto exposed clifftops, to build "ruins" demonstrating significant masonry skills, and a keen sense of defense, then down the sides of the cliffs, and finally out onto the prairies of southeastern UT, southwestern CO, northwestern NM, and northeastern AZ, to build the trading empire ruled by their descendants, the Anasazi. Where did those people go, and what happened to them? That is a tale unto itself, another stunning turn of events that would help define the modern world those ancients would never see.
@@TheAnarchitek that is a lot of information. I could visualize it happening. I think the Anasazi were eventually reduced in numbers until they simply disappeared into the conquering tribes.
I realize there was a torrent of ideas, but there was a lot more drama in the evolution of the American Southwest, over the last 5,000 years (not "millions of years ago"), that produced was millions of tourists gawk at and spend copious amounts of money to photograph and document, every year, year, after year. The Anasazi played a vital role in the history of the four corners states, probably interacting with members of every tribe that would follow, intermarrying with some who played a large part in another region. It was not as static a culture as is often portrayed. They traded with other native tribes by San Diego, almost 700 miles, from Chaco, across some rough country on foot. The entire saga, from the Russian Steppes, to the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, is an inspiring tale, matching in some ways, the progress of the Mediterranean peoples, without the Mother Sea. The Anasazi had an inland sea, almost 400 miles by 300 miles, and its draining left the early 2nd Millennium AD Anasazi with a clear, if harsh choice: find somewhere else to live, or die. Some would have stayed to the bitter end, as some always do, but the smart money moved on, to greener pastures.
Loved your video. You let us look real close and good. Thank you.
Thank you. I try but I don't always succeed. Lol. I am glad you enjoyed the trip with me
I know one thing, It can get awful cold out there. Amazing history in Utah. Thanks.
I am glad you enjoyed it. This lady winter was pretty good though....
Growing up in Utah was never boring. My parents took us everywhere, including multiple trips down the Green River. Cheers.

Wow thank you for sharing these are great! I can no longer get there but could look with binoculars. If we can park and see from there. ❤️
Thanks. Most of these are good and visible with a good set of binoculars. Try going down to the private gate at Frank's canyon and look in the south wall. There is a beautiful two story grainery

Do you have a time reference for it? I have not heard that reference before. I know they have a spectacular group of panels called "Coyote hangs the stars".
This is part of the old “ Stage Coach Stop” and camp you’ve stumbled onto I’m pretty sure,, it was close enough to the river to have grass land nearby along with water,,, ran with the old west until more modern allowed more northern routes,
WOW! That would sure explain the set up. It was perfectly situated for horses and guest. Yes it was located in a nice flat area with good water. Thanks for the information!
Awesome place. At 17:00, on the ground, those are finger marks from people smoothing the mortar. This was a defensive position and a huge village. There were more Indigenous people than people think. They were hunted like animals, rounded up, and either killed or sent to one of the 75 internment camps spread across the USA. Most of their villages were destroyed and covered up with things like man-made lakes and dams, starving them out and into the canyons. The Spaniards in the 1600's were brutal, the 1700's had plagues and disasters and the 1800's, the Calvary took its toll. I believe Indigenous People would still be living in these beautiful places today if white people didn't come. Thank You for taking us along.
I didn't know that is what they were called. There is so much going on, in and around this canyon. Thanks for pointing them out.
Cool. They have a camera app that can bring out the petroglyphs better.. "The Trek Planner" and "POV Channel" have it and it brings out what we can't see. I get just as excited as you guys do. Thank you for slowing down. Live and learn. I did the same thing out of excitement. The petroglyphs at Red Rock Canyon, outside of Vegas have the same kind of damage. I have one of the last pictures of the ships and what was left of the petroglyphs there. Rock climbers put their stakes through them and chipped them off almost completely. Thank You for helping preserve them in pictures. They will be gone soon.
I agree. I have some pictures from this area 12 years ago and there is a lot more modern graffiti today than there was then.
Thank you for the video. New subscriber. I will be roaming around this area next week filming for my channel.
Enjoy! Should be a great time to be up there. There is more than one person can see in one trip!
Knew that stuff was there, but never bothered to go up to it, knowing the ruins there at the mouth of Pete's Canyon were dug out decades ago, so thanks for taking me along on this adventure. Plan on being in the canyoin (staying at Nine Mile Ranch) on the 19 and 19 of May.
Glad to hear that you are getting to go back into the canyon. This site was particularly magical. I watched sunset and moon rise. I am traveling up north now so I have been late in posting the last part. Sorry
Another good episode👍!!
Thanks, I am glad.you them. I usually try to respond sooner but I got busy working on the house.
It's a giant piece of drift wood that settled. Then, water erosion and petrification. Hangman1128 explains everything.
Are you referring to the round concretions in the sand stone? There is a lot of petrified organic material in the layers thanks for watching. Enjoy
These look pretty old! Thanks for sharing!
I am sure some of these are older than the Fremont 1300 years ago. But I will probably never know. Thanks for watching
Such a cool place
Thanks, it is a pretty cool site. I am glad you liked it

@@thecowboyandtheaccountant753 you’re welcome! I can’t be 100% sure but most green colored rocks are copper containing. It’s amazing to see how far across the southwest the Fremont ruins are spread.
Truly spoken, I am looking forward s to hearing down towards Moab and further south. I was told that the green was an iron layer laid down under water. I am familiar with copper deposits but this is a green sandy like formation. Beautiful after a rain

Wow ! The artist really liked his owls
They are almost life sized
it shows how long that area was used and all the game that use to roam there as well. seemed like a good time of year to venture into the canyon the things that can make you uncomfortable were all still hibernating and the tourist were few great adventure thank you
Thanks and yes.... The lack of crowds was a blessing
I wrote a Nine Mile Canyon guide book in 1974 with subsequent editions to today, but never found these until a return visit just a few years ago.
Fascinating isn't it? Every trip down the canyon shows me something new. These were a blast to find. Did you ever get down Frank's canyon to the private property gate? I didn't find that canyon till later and there is a magnificent structure down there .... Other than the one in my video
What is the name of the book?
@@thecowboyandtheaccountant753 I found some great sites below the locked gate back in the 1970s before the gate was locked. I've hiked up Pinnacle Canyon several times. Got some photos of a couple great sites below the locked gate.
Lived in the canyon for many years and thanks for bringing me back!
I am glad you found me then. Lol. Keep watching I have some more that I am working on. I would have loved to have seen these back in the 70s. But at my current age to be able to appreciate them. Right?
What an awesome adventure 👍!!! And thank you for sharing with the world!
Thanks! I am glad that is how you felt. I am just sharing my adventures and it is nice that someone else enjoyed them
Try setting your camera to "Sepia" in the bright sun to show Petroglyphs.

I grew up around this area. I love the 4 Corners it's all beautiful with a lot of emptiness to explore and find stuff just like this. History that started before textbooks. A lot of miss information in all this, but it is what it is Amen. Protection From God/Jesus Amen. 😊😊

Thanks! I noticed and wondered about the eyes as well. Now I will have to re look at the dead guy
Fascinating stuff, algorithm put you out and here you are, would a polarized lens help to bring out the petroglyphs better? I have no idea it just occurred to me
I am glad that you did find us. It is fascinating, I found another two story grainery in a new part of the canyon that few know about.... Or so I believe. Thanks I actually have a set of polarizers that I have not tried yet. I will have to give them a go
Good job! Great scenery and commentary
Thanks, I am glad you liked it. The scenery is spell binding, the red earth and the blue skies....
Great video! We are headed there next month. Is Frank's Canyon a full day trip like 9 Mile Canyon is?
No, it is about 1.5 miles long. You hit private property but this is accessible.... Easily from public road and property. It is across from the "Fremont Village" parking in 9 mile. Bonus... There is a magnificent cliff house further down. I am not sure about private/public land but I flew my drone and it is stunning

The camera is moving too too fast, makes for a headache
Thank you for the input. This is a problem my mom pointed out to me. I have endeavored in more recent videos to slow down then pans. Unfortunately with mixed results.., but i am trying. Thanks for watching
One possibility is that the hand-pressed mud filling has been washed away from between the rocks in the walls. Note that this area is not protected by an over-hanging cliff so it is very exposed to the rain and the elements. Thank you for showing us these structures.
Thank you for watching and commenting, and I would agree with you. When I come across a lot of these walls. I spend a lot of time looking deep between the rock layers to see if there's any larger aggregates that have been left behind. Usually I'll find those lower down because somebody is restacked the top layers
Great video. Keep em coming 😊
Thank you I will as long as they bring joy to myself and others. Thanks for watching
pretty sure its a dance circle, w/ main guy playing drums
Can you give me a time reference for what you are referring to? This sounds very interesting. Thanks for watching
How long is nine mile canyon
Thanks canyon is 46 miles long. It takes it's name from the creek. Nine Mile Creek....
When thinking of the labor and time it took for any people to build cliff dwellings i cannot imagine the scope of the threat was that drove those peoples to go that far in efforts.
Thanks for watching, and I agree. Every time I look up on a Canyon wall and see how hard and how difficult it must have been to access. I can't help but feel there's more and more Credence to the theory of warring tribes.
Good find
Thanks, it was a lot of fun. I enjoy scrambling around and getting into caves.
