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
Amazed by the human curiosity a finding lost treasures for study to All-American society were the children can learn thank you your work is appreciated
Goodness, it's been way too long since I've seen Nine Mile Canyon. Back in the 1980's, I was privileged to work with Dr's Matheny & Matheny in Nine Mile. They were doing a survey of the canyon back then, as it hadn't been done since back in the early 1900's. I, along with my son and daughter, spent the entire summer camped out at the old stage coach stop. The last time I drove though the canyon, some teenagers burnt the place down by that time during the 1990's. It was a fun time back then. Thank you for showing this. It brought back some great memories from when I lived in the Carbon and Emery Counties. I graduated from CEU and was able to work also on the dig site where the Mammoth was found. I think that was in August of 1988. I'm 71 yrs old now and cherish my time living in the Carbon and Emery area. Yup, I'm an Alkali Angel. 😅 Again, thank you for showing this recording of a wonderful area. ❤
Thanks, the stories you must have to tell! I am excited to see what is still remaining but 30+ years ago to have been able to work with the researchers must have been fantastic. There is an extensive site, watch tower, pit house and defensive structures just east of the owl panel down the canyon. I explored that area recently. It was quite the experience. Have you ever seen it?
@thecowboyandtheaccountant753 I don't think I have seen it. I'd love to come back and see my old stomping grounds. I remember so much but can't believe how long ago it was. I miss my old ranch and the high desert. I'm 71yrs old now and it's hard to get around now days. I wish I was 20 years younger. 😆 But I could tell you about the big legal fight we had over that Mammoth. It's was crazy. Lol But CEU won!
I always thought the cliff dwellers were there for safety as well. But I heard a new theory that I liked, where they stayed up high due to limited arable land in the bottom's. That sounds like it could be a part of the puzzle as well. Also , I know I had to start calling it Scott after I heard that first video where I called it poo like six times. Thanks. Part 2 should be out this Friday I'm hoping
I know a lot about Forts and castles in ancient times and defensive positions. One of my passions growing up I was fascinated with it. Nobody really knows what went on here but based on my analysis of everything. I think these people had bad enemies. I think the reason they find arrowheads everywhere. It's not simply because they've been there thousands of years. That's one point I think it's cuz of thousands of battles of raids. I have noticed lots of the holes. That are quote unquote Windows have angles 70° or better. The only reason you would do that is to shoot arrows out of. Thanks for taking me along the journey I appreciate it have a great day🎉
You know it's really interesting that they were so behind the times here in America practically living hand-to-mouth and in Europe the Parthenon had been already built the 1000 years food for thought
Back when I was growing up. Anasazi used to be ancient enemy. Now it's something like forefathers. I agree that defensive and battles played a large role in their life, and limited arable lands. Thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed them
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.
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.
This is my most favorite to date response!! I wish I was more conversant. I would love to have done a contest to see if anybody spotted that beer bottle. Thank you for making my day
WOW fantastic eye! It does look like it might have been worked.... But I didn't even pay attention to it because it was sand stone. It funny because I said I could make points out of it if I had to🤣
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
@@thecowboyandtheaccountant753 Thank you for responding. I was about to allcoate a full day for Franks Canyon too but I'll just get up extra early and cover on the same day
@@thecowboyandtheaccountant753 Thank You, our kids are really excited for the adventure. We are headed to Disney World after Mesa Verde, 9 Mile Canyon, and Mount Rushmore, but they are more excited about 9 Mile than Disney, thankfully lol
I was thinking that as well but I figured if copper was that obvious someone would have tried mining it out. I've looked but haven't had much luck on the Internet for answers.
@@thecowboyandtheaccountant753 as a former archaeologist I really love and appreciate what you were doing. Hopefully within a couple months I’ll be down there doing the same.
There are a couple of places that seem questionable. Lol, I think you can hear me in one of the videos. Praying that the rocks above me don't fall down whilel I'm beneath them 😮
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
This was built 950 to1000yrs ago,BULLSHOOT,HOW CAN U SAY THAT,it was 1500 to2000 yes ago if anything.WE HERE DID OUR HOMEWORK AND CAN SAY THAT...OH,I FROM UTAH.THATS OUR OPION.THANKX ENJOY YOUR VIDS...
Thanks for the comment. Sure, that's possible. This could have been a remnant left over from the Basket Makers (5000 BC to 500AD) or as recent as the Ute Tribes (1600AD to Present). However, extrapolating from research from the Museums of Western Colorado, these particular ruins are believed to be from the Fremont Culture (500AD to 1300AD). Without definitive carbon dating it will only be best guesses. But THANKS for watching the videos and I am glad you enjoyed them.

Great video, can't wait for part two!
The years have passed and I don't dare do such exploring any more........
Thanks for taking me with you..........
You are welcome! I am glad that you were able to enjoy it as well
Amazed by the human curiosity a finding lost treasures for study to All-American society were the children can learn thank you your work is appreciated
Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed the video. I know I enjoyed exploring the cliffs
Love it! It's incredible!!
Newest Subscriber here! These places are what I live for! Thanks for taking the camera!
Thanks, it is fun to get out and the camera allows me to look at it years later and enjoy it all over again
We look forward to the next one, and look forward to seeing all previous,.. @@thecowboyandtheaccountant753
Great video…… thank you for sharing
It really is my pleasure, I was raising the high deserts and forgot how much I enjoy it. Thanks for watching
So interesting! Better you than me walking around the side of the mountain☺
Thanks! It gets worse though. Recently I spent a sunset and moonrise in a Fremont pit house.... On a ridge. Walking down was fun. 😰
NICE, good job thank you looking forward to part two ALL stay safe
I will be posting part 2 this Friday. I hope you will like it. Thanks for watching
Excellent video, love the landscape!
Thanks and yes I agree the landscape is beautiful in the canyon
Very cool colors with snow
That first ground views are absolutely stunning
They were amazing and exciting to see revealed

Age is less of a hindrance when the mind remains sharp. Keep watching and enjoy the adventures with me.... "CEU"? Which college is that?
@thecowboyandtheaccountant753 it's no longer CEU, or College of Eastern Utah. It's something like Southeastern State University at Price
Drove through there with my wife several years ago. Fascinating place...and the canyon is a lot longer drive than 9 miles for sure...
Thanks for watching, glad it brought back memories. 9 miles I know... Lol.
Fascinating. Thanks!
It is fun to see these places. Glad you enjoyed
Great video, im glad i found your channel.
Thanks for coming along with me and I am glad you like it
Awesome place.
It truly was. To see how much of the original structure that was still left was fantastic
Live close to nine mile. I’ve driven these roads and never climbed to look close. I’m to lazy. 🤣
Tnx for doing that for me. 👍👍
Literally my pleasure 🤣
It is cool to imagine that the cliff face would have had many people on it living on wooden scaffolding and stuff
TY for sharing. I always wonder why the people had to hide. Thats scat on the ground not poo. 😊
I always thought the cliff dwellers were there for safety as well. But I heard a new theory that I liked, where they stayed up high due to limited arable land in the bottom's.

Yes I hear the water gurgling
That creek is where the canyon gets it's name. the sound without cars and people is almost deafening .
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.
There is a bridge over the creek down below if you didn’t see it
I did see it. I wonder if it was part of the old road way.
Sorry, I am assuming you were referring to the cement bridge. Lol
Good video, new subscriber
Thank you, welcome along

Tiger/Oil Chert and all kinds of agates are readily available to the people of Nine Mile. They didn't need those nasty slates. 😁
Truly? I was not aware of any chert in the area. I have had to be parsimonious with my remaining supply. Lol. Thanks for the information.
At 14.45 I wonder what kind of beer bottle ? that is ?
This is my most favorite to date response!! I wish I was more conversant. I would love to have done a contest to see if anybody spotted that beer bottle. Thank you for making my day
Easy…it's an empty one!😜
Brown Beer Bottle.
@12:51 large piece of worked stone bottom left of screen. Preform maybe???
WOW fantastic eye! It does look like it might have been worked.... But I didn't even pay attention to it because it was sand stone. It funny because I said I could make points out of it if I had to🤣
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...

@@user-xs7dw8et6j your welcome. Any time spent in the canyon will be great fun. Just remember to go slow and look close..... They are everywhere
@@thecowboyandtheaccountant753 Thank You, our kids are really excited for the adventure. We are headed to Disney World after Mesa Verde, 9 Mile Canyon, and Mount Rushmore, but they are more excited about 9 Mile than Disney, thankfully lol
@@dojo3175 you are welcome. It's a great place to lunge the kids.😁 Bring binoculars.
The blue rock may actually be some type of copper mineralization
I was thinking that as well but I figured if copper was that obvious someone would have tried mining it out. I've looked but haven't had much luck on the Internet for answers.
@@thecowboyandtheaccountant753 as a former archaeologist I really love and appreciate what you were doing. Hopefully within a couple months I’ll be down there doing the same.
I think you'll have a great time down here exploring.
That rocky wall looks so so unstable.
There are a couple of places that seem questionable. Lol, I think you can hear me in one of the videos. Praying that the rocks above me don't fall down whilel I'm beneath them 😮
Those are Sasquatch structures
Bunk beds?
Who knows, what is known about them is that they're invisible/interdimensional and they build stone stacked walls like this for reasons unknown
@@sovereigncosmicwildman no
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
thumbnail- anyone could have done tht at anytime
Thanks for watching and hopefully subscribing. There is always that possibility. In this case I don't think it is modern though.

Could be 327 years old. Scientists are wrong all the time and carbon dating is hardly bulletproof.
I just wish you guys would stop
Sorry Jimmy, stop what?
U mad?
Another rookie with a camera. Bad information pure speculation
WOW. My first troll! Thanks.
From a couch potato casual lol.
You can’t make arrow heads out of that type of stone.
