- Another jewel on the New Mexico landscape. See the natural caves of Cliff Dweller Canyon ... People of the Upper Gila River - the Mogollon culture, which thrived from the 1270s to around 1300 and then disappeared. Walk the trail to the caves followed by a tour of the ruins.

Thanks brother!!! An thanks for the memories!!!! God an spirit Jim:) you led us to the gate an we saw your vision ur Dream!! Know ur out there..Love you:)
I have been there since the late 1950s on and off till the early 1980s. You used to ford the creek, no hand rails of any kind. The visitor center was a park service trailer and his and hers out houses.
Thank you. Cave and canyon dwellings are fascinating.
It’s impossible to imagine actually living there.
The early shot of the dwellings, when they first come into view, sent a chill down my spine. The 2 caves seen at that moment, with their rock-wall surroundings, give the appearance of a giant peering over the treetops at unwelcome, uninvited strangers, as if they're encroaching upon the secret, forbidden preserve of a prehistoric god. So eerie, the music contributing to this effect. Staggering to imagine how these mysterious, awesome dwellings were built by the humans of that long-ago time. Clearly, they were extremely smart; after all, some among them had to conceive, plan out the logistics, supervise the work, & get them built. Only inspired leadership & cohesive teamwork could've accomplished this. Lessons for today? I believe so. What were the purposes for such a monumental undertaking---and why did they leave? So many questions yet to be answered---and asked. I greatly hope I can visit there someday---if I don't upset that ancient giant I imagined, protecting his domain!
I would love to find a far off secret canyon and make it my secret camp site.. (While respecting the ruins of course).
I lived close to there. I was there three times. It's beautiful, but every time I was there I saw a rattle snake.
Way back in the late 70's my little sister walked the entire cliff dwelling right up to the ladder then sat down and screamed bloody murder- in the late 90's my second child did the exact same thing in theexact same spot!
From one who's never been there, thank you very much for the video. Those cliff dwellings are wonderful and amazing in so many ways. So many questions come to mind just seeing them through your eyes. Thanks again.
The cliff dwellers must have really disliked the valley dwellers to carry all the rocks into the cliffs. Wonderful soundtrack!
Very nice . My Grandfather took me to the Gila River when I was12-13 to go fishing.
Spent many summers in New Mexico. More fun than should be allowed.
I was there on the Labor day Holiday. I did a little walk through video and uploaded it. It was really cool. Nice video. 👍👍👍
whats with the creepy music
I went to Chaco Cultural Center and Mesa Verde last year, didn't know about this spot. I'll have to return this summer to check it out. Thanks for the video! I took a lot of video of mesa and chaco if anyone's interested
Chaco is the best. Had the place to myself one winter the day after it snowed.
First time visiting 1958 dirt road to get there Mr. ALLEN FROM MEMBERS TOOK US THERE
Thanks Tom Green
Great music thanks for sharing guys and gals love my state
Makes me want to dance
The type of wall construction is similar to that at Chaco Nat. Mount. but unlike the Pueblo Indian structures which were made of mud bricks.
I can't help to think that it ended badly for the original peoples of these dwellings (of course I wouldn't really know) it's just the vibe I get. These structures were already long abandoned before the Old West expansion.
Music is Richard Band - Kathy in Attic, though reedited/prolonged.
Was just there in September.....I hope to have the chance to go back! Where is this music taken from? This video is well done.
I have been to Sandia Man Cave and to Bandelier National Monument,sandia cave is natural but Bandelier Nat. Monument was built on the side of cliffs. These place along with the ruins of Gila tells us these were defensive locations. There enemies left no ruins and may have migrated out or were only passing through. Sandia man cave 8 to 12 thousand years. Ago.Gila and Bandelier ruins were inhabited 8 to 1200 hundred yrs ago,all for defensive purpose!
Did you get John Williams fro the score?!
I felt like I was in Raiders of the Lost Arc. lol
love the music.
sounds like poltergeist music
Looks like they could use a remodel
Been there before they added railings. Your music choice is more doomy rather than mysterious.
They built a fort I wonder who they. We're afraid off
a different video said they lived like this to avoid nomadic tribes
@@liamsmith6102 Safe from the great Flood?< Nah!
Is the name of the music "drama de luxe"? Would love to know the title.
Music by: Richard Band - Track title: Kathy in the Attic.
Music by: Richard Band - Track title: Kathy in the Attic. OST for Motion Picture: HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW.
Careful application of music....... drama de luxe ...
Amazing places to live, all the raw material right on the site to make these rock buildings and walls. think of generations, weathering the elements in these crude masonry buildings.
Living and raising children in these hostile environments and even making a pic-nic out of it, a way of life
The walls lasted so long bc they're protected from sun and rain
While running, found some cave dwellings (prehistoric) in Spain - Perales de Tajuña. ruclips.net/video/Lt26pZYbiDA/видео.html
