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.

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
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! ❤🤌
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
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!🫶
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 🐕
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 🇵🇪
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!
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!
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!
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.
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
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).
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…
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!
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
The Escalante River was always my favorite at Lake Powell. It would take you weeks to follow it all the way to the town of Escalante. These days, the water only goes up 1/2 mile before the river dries up. The river used to actually flow into the lake. It it extremely remote and almost impossible to traverse.
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. ❤ 🐕🐕🦺👍
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
I grew up in that area from 1957-67 during the years Glen Canyon Dam was being built. We drove often to see the progress of the dam and my dad loved fishing/camping at Lee's Ferry. They wouldn't build it today & cover those sacred historic sites. We hear talk at times of taking down the dam but don't know if it'll ever happen.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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 🎬 🤩👌
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.❤❤❤
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 🪶🦅
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! 😱
Wow what an amazing adventure and incredible campsite, what views, what a life your dog has had as well. Really really really loving your videos. I am curious also to know what shoes you wear? You always seem to rock the same pair of shoes/boots.
My parents were river runners on the Colorado before the Glen Canyon Dam. They obviously felt that Lake Powell was a mistake and would talk about the wonderful formations that were submerged. However it didn't damper there love for southern Utah and they passed that on to me. It's by far my favorite place on earth.
@@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
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.

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!
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.
Lots and lots of endemic species
I’ve been a huge Edward Abbey fan for years and I am so impressed by your discoveries. Thank you so much! 🐾
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!
Wow, I never knew all that about Glenn Canyon.Thanks for taking us on this journey.Such beautiful scenery, history.
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 🎬 🤩👌
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.❤❤❤
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.
This is AWESOME! You find the coolest places.
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.
stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!! also written in into the wild... water level changes and even no water more down south...
Omg, stunning!!! I’m making my two Aussies watch your adventure!
That was an "unexpected" & hilarious fall. I love following your adventures...................but not toooooo closely !!
I been wanting to go to Lake Powell for years. Seen photos of Glenn Canyon before the dam the landscape it looks so beautiful!
I’m so happy to have found your channel. Epic and definitely worth watching every second.❤
That was awesome. You scared me to death. Good work! 😅😊
So fascinating. Thank you for sharing your adventures and your knowledge. ❤
i am super inspired by your adventures. how incredibly fun to be out there exploring. stay blessed
All that water and no lush forests, wildlife etc... strange.
So awesome. Keep going. The drone footage is so awesome
Superbly researched and crafted narrative !!!
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.
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.
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 🪶🦅
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! 😱
Wow what an amazing adventure and incredible campsite, what views, what a life your dog has had as well. Really really really loving your videos. I am curious also to know what shoes you wear? You always seem to rock the same pair of shoes/boots.
Love love love this channel! Wow! Spectacular!
caught me off guard watching this on a second monitor lol
6:22 people trying to break into your car in the bcakground?!😂
I subscribed, you shared to the whole world 🌎 the places we couldn't reach. Thank you so much.
I'll be back when you do Leymuria or Atlantis or any other land mass ! Awesome video !
Great filming!
My parents were river runners on the Colorado before the Glen Canyon Dam. They obviously felt that Lake Powell was a mistake and would talk about the wonderful formations that were submerged. However it didn't damper there love for southern Utah and they passed that on to me. It's by far my favorite place on earth.
fantastic video, thank you. 💚 yes I would like to see more of this canyon👍🏻👍🏻
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
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.
