The POV channel has the best format. You hang out in the darndest places you obviously don't have vertigo. Always look forward to seeing you on your channel pops up
This is my new favorite RUclips channel! The geology, the history, phenomenal camera shots, the detailed exploration, the brave pup, the interesting narration and editing. Love it! ❤🤌
Your students have a right to speak. You should probably shut up more, you'd learn a thing or two about students. 😇❤ -Yours Truly, that child who was more intelligent than the adult teacher assigned to teach me and not afraid to show you up. 😇❤
I camped Lake Powell in the 70's and the side canyons were phenomenal then. One of the most beautiful places I've ever been as well. Nature has a way of revealing its truth to those who ask and I'm very much looking forward to see what it shows you. You channel is amazing.
Wonderful drone footage in that amazing landscape. Can't believe where you camped overnight....talk about on the edge...lol...thanks for another great video 🐕
One of my most treasured possessions is a book from 1963 “the place no one knew” by Eliot Porter and published by the sierra club. Library of Congress catalogue number- 66-15340. It won the Carey-Thomas award in 1964. The photos are amazing . I hope you can find a copy somewhere even to just look at the photos. We have heard rumors here in AZ that possibly Glen Canyon dam would be removed . As it should be. Thanks for sharing your adventures
Wow! I have no words for this existential experience you've shared with us🙏. Thank you and your pup whose calming presence is just as beautiful as the views!🫶
Omg! My tummy was queezy with you so close to the edge. Its mind boggling how people traveled and lived there. 😢 sad that it was hidden. What an explorer you are. Thank you for sharing your adventures ❤ from Grandma in Peru 🇵🇪
Ich schaue dir aus Deutschland zu und bin einfach begeistert. Bin au v in meiner Jugend umhergereist in der Welt .Das was du machst gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut .Danke junger Mann weiter so .,das machst du großartig 😂❤
i grew up in the everglades and now live in the midwest- i have never seen landscapes like this in person before. your channel makes me want to do a southwest national park tour!
Your channel is sure-fire hit after sure-fire hit, and you deserve every single accolade that comes your way. Cheers from Britain, which, despite having great scenery, doesn't come anywhere close to some of America's sights, which you have so beautifully brought to us.
Can't thank you enough for your references and insight to these beautiful canyons from long ago, people's now long gone, we can only imagine their lives, Love that you have your dog with you too. Scotland 🏴 UK
Discovered you last night, this is my eighth video. I'm scottish and always had a fascination with the West frontier, to the point where I will watch any period movie or drama. I watched Ken Burns' The West TWICE. You are the only person on youtube showing me the vast majestic expanse that is the West whilst explaining it scientifically and actually being there to show us these desolate spots, so thank you. You showed me "layers of mountains" better than any of those in the movies. You even got me interested in geology so I've been checking out your other non-West vids. I also fell in love with doggo and almost moved on to another video thinking you didn't bring him with you! You two are very lucky lucky to have each other. Lastly, this video was heart wrenching, tbh. That's a lot of history wiped out and my guess would be that it was deliberately overlooked. Keep up the good work, I might have to find you something interesting in Scotland.
So incredibly dramatic/almost unbelievable shapes and colors and textures. I hope you will be exploring on foot down in the Glen as it emerges - and take us along with you. Best wishes and luck to you and dog!
I could honestly live right there. No neighbors, no traffic, no noise, just beautiful serenity. Love your channel. Thanks for sharing such a great video.
Fantastic video, thank you. I used to go there, boating, as a kid. It was stunning then, I cannot begin to imagine the history that has been lost, and the history yet to be found. It's important, what you are doing, documenting what is there today.
I really hope you make this canyon a series. I'm very interested in seeing before & after photos and videos through the progress. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Keep up the great content, fellow Fisher!
For a renewal power source, people forget just how destructive hydroelectricity is. You need huge reservoirs which flood valleys and canyons, displace both humans and animals, interrupt the natural flow of the river for aquatic animals, sometimes even depriving large sections of the lower river of water. The Colorado River (as I understand it) barely makes it to the sea anymore. In Australia, the Snowy Hydro scheme & other dams has decreased the flow of the Murray, Murrumbidgee and Snowy Rivers anywhere from 40-80% (depending on how much rain there has been).
Bruce Berger has a great book called "There Was A River", mostly a compilation. He rafted down it in '62, and ended up stumbling onto the set of "The Greatest Story Ever Told". Turns out the River Jordan scene was filmed on the Colorado! On page 38, he tells a friend's (named Remo) story of going down the river and being able to float into a feature called "Music Temple". They reached a cleft that was 75 feet above water when Berger explored the temple in '62. When Remo explored it, the cleft was reachable by water. He and his group found a ledge barely protected by an overhang, full of artifacts from the Basketmaker III culture. A year later, the cleft was 10 feet underwater. The whole section about Glen Canyon is ~60 pages and fascinating. Check it out sometime!
Man, as per usual, you deliver a video of the highest quality. Man, that dog brightens the video every time he photo bombs the shot. We all could use some more adventure doge in our lives.
You and Desert Drifter are my favourite US Southwest exploration channels. Thanks for taking us to places we can only dream of actually visiting. Love the video!
Fantastic video. Subscribed I read Abbeys books as a teenager, made me feel like I was there. I highly recommend Desert Solitaire! If I recall he said Powell would have been furious about that "damned lake" being named after him!
Water is a great way to hide things, at the same time providing water to where it's needed. It has been said, just the Grand canyon alone can paint a different kind of history to what we were taught in school if people were allowed to explore it.
Thank you Nolan... Awesome videography and story as usual. But this time, beyond the heebie-jeebies, you nearly succeeded in giving me a heart attack! 😱
AWESOMENESS in spades!!!!! Mind boggling views, the stuff of dreams. Thanking you for this incredible journey, from an old woman. Love your beautiful obedient dog XOXOXOXO
Absolutely beautiful. I used to live in that region. There's so much to explore and see there, you couldn't see it all in 100 lifetimes. Thanks, Nolan.
Such beauty! Thanks for the beautiful drone footage & the history of this area. Amazing channel. ❤ your channel & your best friend who hikes & explores with you most of the time. ❤ 🐕🐕🦺👍
Beautiful scenery. I watched a documentary, probably on YT, that had clips of old footage of the canyon before it was flooded. It was incredibly beautiful. So sad it’s hidden but nice it’s re-emerging. But that will be at the expense of people in the west who need the water. Btw, I wondered if your tent was anchored in a way not visible? I’ll bet the winds up there can be fierce at times…
Your country really is majestic. I wish I had visited when I was still able bodied & healthy. Thank you for taking us with you exploring these beautiful places. You deserve so much more views & subscribers.
You have an amazing eye and incredible editing skills. If Hollywood hadn't already gone to s***, I'd suggest you could be the next great cinematographer there. Keep up the great work. Love the dog.
Just found your channel you are an artist and adventurer blew me away this vid im 71 and very active motorcycle adventure rider ive traveled the GLEN canyon and every turn is amazing will go back this year and camp, hike, ride great vid brother. you got a sub!
Heartbreaking the destruction of a natural Eden, there will have been relict species in there that may never be seen again. Thankyou for sharing this and making people aware how our actions impact the planet.
Outstanding Bro! WOW! I have to say I am also quite impressed with your companion, your Dog. He really is special too. Thanks 4 sharin. This pry is the only way I will get to see this. I love your show. Thanks again Bro.❤❤❤
TY so much for being a free spirit and an explorer. TY for bringing us a few glimpses from your wonderful travels. I have learned so much about the flatlands and the canyons of USA through your eyes. I wish you the best in your adventures!
The old photos of the pre-damn canyons: those places are emanating a power I have not felt in a VERY long time. I will need to meditate upon those frames further. You, sir, are a gift. Thank you for this beautiful video.
Duuuuude this is epic. I didn't know there was all this history under the lake! Why would they do this? I looked it up and the project was approved in April 1956. Why was this such a priority then? They clearly knew they would be flooding history away, and then did just that. Also I am seeing the original purpose of the lake, to "control flooding" is now obsolete. So it can be drained yet there is strong opposition to that, for now. I like how you ended the video, it's true! One day these canyons will be revealed again
Energy + water storage was the main goal on paper. It is the 2nd largest reservoir in the US in a very resource constrained area. Thats all they cared about back then . However, it has dramatically backfired on the water front. Due to the huge surface area, we lose an insane amount of water to evaporation here every year. It's a large part of why the Colorado has diminished. Yep it'll come back. Question is- how soon
Wow that's wild. Looking it up, the reservoir was at its highest in 1983 and is now 185 feet down from that highest fill. I didn't know that much had already evaporated! That's 40 years to evaporate 185 feet. Not sure how deep it is now but I'd estimate another 20+ years to evaporate the vast majority... I see another article saying on June 13 this year, 40,000 acre-feet of water leaked out of the reservoir 🤔
@coolbaj, many lakes that were man-made in the West had this happen. Because native people lived along creeks and when the creeks were dammed, so much was washed underneath. We find Native pottery sherds around all our lakes here in Arizona, and wonder how much is under the water.
I’m a 67 year old grandma. I hope future generations of Americans will continue efforts to restore Glen Canyon and Hetch Hetchy valley in Yosemite to their rightful glory. Wish I could have seen this happen in my lifetime.
Wow, just discovered your channel POV. Fantastic footage. There is most certainly Mystery in that land. And I feel you are going to find it..... You get my first like and subscribe of the day. Be safe ,watch yourself out there.
Thank you for your personal share 🦅🪶 ... you are more than incredibly lucky with today's technology and your will to rescue and piece together lost treasured history 🦅🪶 Phenomenal Drone footage ⭐🎥🏆👍 Thank you again and always 🪶🦅
Across a couple of years, I've seen a few of your videos. The Sky Island video lead me to here, which is when I subscribed. How you were able to capture a small piece of Glen Canyon just floored me. You should be glad to know that others feel very similarly, about restoring Glen Canyon to its original state. The western drought has obviously lowered the water levels for both Lake Powell and Lake Mead. It's very unlikely that either reservoir will ever be close to full again. So over the next couple of decades the Bureau of Reclamation has very hard decisions to make, to sacrifice one to save the other, not just for water but electricity generation too. If Lake Powell reaches dead pool levels for several years consecutively, political pressure will built to simply demolish the Glen Canyon Dam to save Lake Mead.
Tes reportages ont ce nouveau point de vue que le regard commun ignorait et tu vas exactement où il faut . Merci de partager ces moments et je pense que Dewey vis dans une autre dimension que ses semblables 🎬 🤩👌
I'm not a geologist, but its fun to speculate. To me it looks like that entire area was completely submerged under violent waters. Water would have had to be higher then the tallest plateaus. It all looks like water erosion that carved out the weakest points in the bedrock. The jaggedness of everything seems like perhaps this was a "quick event" and it didn't have time to make everything round and smooth like water that was flowing for hundreds of thousands of years. Keep the videos coming, love these!
I agree that the sharp edges and formations like arches indicate that long term water and wind erosion did not carve what we see around the world. We are stunned because of how unusual the geology is. I looked at the Moon which does not have water and yet the geology looks carved. Same with Mars where Valles Marineris has no inlet or outlet for water erosion. The canyons and their "tributaries" look like damage from gigantic sparks of some kind. It appears to me, as others have noted, that large scale electrical forces were used by an intelligent influence. Based on your reference to a world wide flood event, I surmise we both know who the "intelligent influence" is.
North America was glaciers once, taller than those mountains, they melted and the earth that was under the weight of the glaciers and wasn't after the melt was thrust up. All of the world at this very minute, the last of those glaciers is melting. Venezuala just lost their last one.
My father was doing the electrical work before this dam was finished and he came home telling of the civilization that was once there, He said the ruins there showed of a prior civilization that left behind a lot of old relics. He felt bad that it was being covered up and not recognized by those in charge, since then I’ve found that most dams and golf courses cover prior civilizations not recorded, our true history is hidden and not in our texts books.
I took a screenshot at 4:54 and shared it on my Facebook and told it everyone to go to the POV channel!... This isn't just sightseeing This is a form of environmental activism with the impact of an atom bomb. This is technology enlightening the world to what's going on right in our backyard. This young man is a hero.
@@the_pov_channel if you ever find yourself in Georgia near Atlanta hit me up I actually have a wall and I swear it is native American it's near a river right behind my house it's ancient you wouldn't even know it was there unless you moved the fallen trees 🍻 big fan
You walk too close to the edge, but what is life without a little risk. Your life flashed before all of our eyes as you jumped in tot he water!! 😱 I think given the water is gradually receding, and water has a way of preserving things, there is a chance some of the historic ruins and artifacts may be still intact. Probably important to document as much as possible as the waters peel back, as the exposure will have them decay quite rapidly. Can't wait to see more.
Another amazing video, they're getting better and better. Keep it up Nolan and this channel will explode! Then we can get more videos, a win-win. Can't wait for the next one!
Thank you SO MUCH for this great production. Every human must see this. I've been there many times, and to many areas surrounding the lake and canyon; but I know I've just barely scratched the surface. With this vid, I feel like I know a whole lot more. I do understand though that there's much more to see and learn about this wondrous place. Thanks again!
Try to find a copy of a book called" Glen canyon, images of a lost world" by Tad Nichols. He rafted the canyon many times with the great Katie Lee, and Frank Wright. Also find any interviews with Katie Lee.
I live in Colorado and around 1979 I was in high school I saw a black and white reel to reel film in geology class that showed what Glen Canyon was like before it was filled. That video exists somewhere. It was amazing and broke my heart. It is one of the most memorable things I’ve ever seen.
Yeah... I remember when I put down the chapter in "Desert solitaire" by Ed Abbey. Its strange feeling such profound loss for something you never knew and isn't a living person. But, It was a living place.
@@the_pov_channel i read that book years ago as a kid. Fantastic book. Nobody these days knows about it. You should make a video about it. I haven't seen anyone other than my dad speak about it.
@@the_pov_channel There's a word for this "Hiraeth" It's not really translatable.....but it's a homesickness, or mournful longing for a place or home that is gone, no longer exists, existed only in antiquity, or perhaps never at all. A pull or mourning, or longing. It's a Welsh word.

Wow that's wild. Looking it up, the reservoir was at its highest in 1983 and is now 185 feet down from that highest fill. I didn't know that much had already evaporated! That's 40 years to evaporate 185 feet. Not sure how deep it is now but I'd estimate another 20+ years to evaporate the vast majority... I see another article saying on June 13 this year, 40,000 acre-feet of water leaked out of the reservoir 🤔
@coolbaj, many lakes that were man-made in the West had this happen. Because native people lived along creeks and when the creeks were dammed, so much was washed underneath. We find Native pottery sherds around all our lakes here in Arizona, and wonder how much is under the water.
I’m a 67 year old grandma. I hope future generations of Americans will continue efforts to restore Glen Canyon and Hetch Hetchy valley in Yosemite to their rightful glory. Wish I could have seen this happen in my lifetime.
Amazing! Thank you for these videos. And the photos of the old Glen Canyon. Wow!
Looking forward to more videos on this beautiful reemerging world. Your dog is the perfect travel companion.
Wow, just discovered your channel POV. Fantastic footage. There is most certainly Mystery in that land. And I feel you are going to find it.....
You get my first like and subscribe of the day. Be safe ,watch yourself out there.
Thank you for your personal share 🦅🪶
... you are more than incredibly lucky with today's technology and your will to rescue and piece together lost treasured history 🦅🪶
Phenomenal Drone footage ⭐🎥🏆👍
Thank you again and always 🪶🦅
Great filming!
I’ve been a huge Edward Abbey fan for years and I am so impressed by your discoveries. Thank you so much! 🐾
Thank you, The canyons and mesa tops around the Colorado are by far my favorite place on earth! You covered it wonderfully!
Incredible video mate, well done, keep up the great work, stunning Drone footage.
Across a couple of years, I've seen a few of your videos. The Sky Island video lead me to here, which is when I subscribed. How you were able to capture a small piece of Glen Canyon just floored me.
You should be glad to know that others feel very similarly, about restoring Glen Canyon to its original state. The western drought has obviously lowered the water levels for both Lake Powell and Lake Mead. It's very unlikely that either reservoir will ever be close to full again. So over the next couple of decades the Bureau of Reclamation has very hard decisions to make, to sacrifice one to save the other, not just for water but electricity generation too.
If Lake Powell reaches dead pool levels for several years consecutively, political pressure will built to simply demolish the Glen Canyon Dam to save Lake Mead.
Tes reportages ont ce nouveau point de vue que le regard commun ignorait et tu vas exactement où il faut . Merci de partager ces moments et je pense que Dewey vis dans une autre dimension que ses semblables 🎬 🤩👌
I'm not a geologist, but its fun to speculate. To me it looks like that entire area was completely submerged under violent waters. Water would have had to be higher then the tallest plateaus. It all looks like water erosion that carved out the weakest points in the bedrock. The jaggedness of everything seems like perhaps this was a "quick event" and it didn't have time to make everything round and smooth like water that was flowing for hundreds of thousands of years. Keep the videos coming, love these!
I agree that the sharp edges and formations like arches indicate that long term water and wind erosion did not carve what we see around the world. We are stunned because of how unusual the geology is. I looked at the Moon which does not have water and yet the geology looks carved. Same with Mars where Valles Marineris has no inlet or outlet for water erosion. The canyons and their "tributaries" look like damage from gigantic sparks of some kind. It appears to me, as others have noted, that large scale electrical forces were used by an intelligent influence. Based on your reference to a world wide flood event, I surmise we both know who the "intelligent influence" is.
North America was glaciers once, taller than those mountains, they melted and the earth that was under the weight of the glaciers and wasn't after the melt was thrust up. All of the world at this very minute, the last of those glaciers is melting. Venezuala just lost their last one.
I’d recommend going on a boat ride to the Rainbow Bridge Arch. It’s quite an experience. You’ll see dinosaur tracks there!
caught me off guard watching this on a second monitor lol
My father was doing the electrical work before this dam was finished and he came home telling of the civilization that was once there, He said the ruins there showed of a prior civilization that
left behind a lot of old relics. He felt bad that it was being covered up and not recognized by those in charge, since then I’ve found that most dams and golf courses cover prior civilizations not recorded, our true history is hidden and not in our texts books.
fantastic video, thank you. 💚 yes I would like to see more of this canyon👍🏻👍🏻
Omg, stunning!!! I’m making my two Aussies watch your adventure!
I took a screenshot at 4:54 and shared it on my Facebook and told it everyone to go to the POV channel!... This isn't just sightseeing This is a form of environmental activism with the impact of an atom bomb. This is technology enlightening the world to what's going on right in our backyard. This young man is a hero.
well said
Amen!
Love love love this channel! Wow! Spectacular!
So awesome. Keep going. The drone footage is so awesome
Bro, I jumped when you jumped into the water, lol 1:15
perfect
Beautiful spot but i get dizzy watching your drone footage .love your work
Please keep it exactly the way it is your channel is awesome Man do not give in

@@the_pov_channel absolutely no cringe just a genuine soul.... I truly appreciate genuine souls like you 🙏... You take care bud 🍻
@@the_pov_channel if you ever find yourself in Georgia near Atlanta hit me up I actually have a wall and I swear it is native American it's near a river right behind my house it's ancient you wouldn't even know it was there unless you moved the fallen trees 🍻 big fan
Superbly researched and crafted narrative !!!
Always an awesome adventure with. Thanks for sharing this with us you
You walk too close to the edge, but what is life without a little risk. Your life flashed before all of our eyes as you jumped in tot he water!! 😱 I think given the water is gradually receding, and water has a way of preserving things, there is a chance some of the historic ruins and artifacts may be still intact. Probably important to document as much as possible as the waters peel back, as the exposure will have them decay quite rapidly. Can't wait to see more.
Another amazing video, they're getting better and better. Keep it up Nolan and this channel will explode! Then we can get more videos, a win-win. Can't wait for the next one!
Thank you SO MUCH for this great production. Every human must see this. I've been there many times, and to many areas surrounding the lake and canyon; but I know I've just barely scratched the surface. With this vid, I feel like I know a whole lot more. I do understand though that there's much more to see and learn about this wondrous place. Thanks again!
Wow, I never knew all that about Glenn Canyon.Thanks for taking us on this journey.Such beautiful scenery, history.
That was an "unexpected" & hilarious fall. I love following your adventures...................but not toooooo closely !!
I'll be back when you do Leymuria or Atlantis or any other land mass ! Awesome video !
Awesome job sir. I commend you on your channel. I look forward to new content!
Wonderful! Love all your videos. 😊
Try to find a copy of a book called" Glen canyon, images of a lost world" by Tad Nichols. He rafted the canyon many times with the great Katie Lee, and Frank Wright. Also find any interviews with Katie Lee.
I have and it is on the way. Cant wait. Thanks for the suggestion
@@the_pov_channelHere’s another one: The Colorado River Through Glen Canyon Before Lake Powell: Historic Photo Journal 1872-1964 (Amazon)
So fascinating. Thank you for sharing your adventures and your knowledge. ❤
Lake Powell, was designed to cover certain "thing(s)".
I subscribed, you shared to the whole world 🌎 the places we couldn't reach. Thank you so much.
Thank you for another great adventure!
Can’t wait to see a ‘Drain Lake Powell’ episode!
I’m so happy to have found your channel. Epic and definitely worth watching every second.❤
I live in Colorado and around 1979 I was in high school I saw a black and white reel to reel film in geology class that showed what Glen Canyon was like before it was filled. That video exists somewhere. It was amazing and broke my heart. It is one of the most memorable things I’ve ever seen.
Yeah... I remember when I put down the chapter in "Desert solitaire" by Ed Abbey. Its strange feeling such profound loss for something you never knew and isn't a living person. But, It was a living place.
Please keep telling your story! I think you have to be willing to cry a lot to even look at it for what it is. The heartbreak is real.
That is so interesting! Would love to see that film.
@@the_pov_channel i read that book years ago as a kid. Fantastic book. Nobody these days knows about it. You should make a video about it. I haven't seen anyone other than my dad speak about it.
@@the_pov_channel There's a word for this "Hiraeth" It's not really translatable.....but it's a homesickness, or mournful longing for a place or home that is gone, no longer exists, existed only in antiquity, or perhaps never at all. A pull or mourning, or longing. It's a Welsh word.
