How amazing! We leave next week to visit the area and have a day that would be perfect for this type of tour. I look forward to reaching out to them to support a local businessand learn about the land and lived experiences of places I am blessed to be able to visit! Thank you so much for this content and the possible connection!
Wow this looks like a combination of Toroweap and Horseshoe Bend. We are doing another big trip to the Southwest next spring so we will keep this in mind.
@@JerryArizona I called Sacred Edge today and arranged a tour. You'll be pleased to know they are getting several people who have called after watching your video and made their own reservations. They now have reservations 3 days in a row the weekend I am going.
The American government of the 19th century thought that they were ceding unusable territory to many Native Americans. The Native Americans ended up with Havasupai, Monument Valley, Canyon De Chelly, and the east rim of the Grand Canyon. Who’s winning now? 😊. Thanks for showing us a place we otherwise wouldn’t have access to. Best of luck to this enterprise and thanks again Jerry for taking us to beautiful places. To be clear, I don’t think the government thought they were doing any favors to the Native Americans. Every reservation is not a place of beauty. Fry bread tacos came about because the government gave the Native Americans cheap flour instead of the more expensive corn masa. The persistence and determination of tribal people have exceeded any expectations of the USA government. ❤
Originally the Havasupai reservation was only the immediate area around their village, it did not include the waterfalls. The tribe successfully petitioned to increase the size of the reservation. When I first hiked there in the 60’s it was still separate.I once even hiked in from the east side of Cataract Canyon, a trail that is no longer allowed to be used by the tribe.
I cannot tell you how much this video grabs my heart. I am a canyon addict but can't get there enough. I'll definitely be using Sacred Edge on my next trip.
Yes,Jerry is making one of the best travel vlogs on RUclips and as for me not only because he is "teaching us about the nature" through our minds but his always perfect match of music and the moment he and his wife spend in the nature, at least me teaches thorough those wonderful feelings.Thank you Jerry. P.S. Cinematography is always top of the line too.
I too had not heard of this before. That was fantastic, and the Canyon truly breathtaking from the viewpoints you had there. I'd have loved to hear some more of his stories but I understand why you didn't. Hope I can squeeze this into my list of things to do some day
Never had the saying "prepare to be blown away" have been truer. This sort of renders you speechless. I hope they were gracious enough to grand you future opportunity to explore the salt trail river canyon hike below. I know couple of years ago you and I talked about it in the comment section. I think you and Tina deserve that hike. A grueling but what a hike!
Wow, how incredible to see something so beautiful. All the best to Sacred Ridge Tours. I love they want to keep it small so the clients truly get a wonderful experience.
WOW. That all looks So good. I hope they do Really Well. Even down to the food it's amazing. Thanks for sharing this. I might have to head up there soon. I'm just down the road in Cottonwood.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Extremely well done and the views were breathtaking. Great job with the videography. You set a high standard. 😀👍
What an honor to be invited on this tour. As always, great videography. These new views of The Canyon are awe-inspiring. No words. Best wishes to Sacred Edge Tours. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Jerry for thinking out of box! I am excited about the authentic opportunity of a future East Rim tour of the Grand Canyon. I hope Sacred Edge Tour makes it work!
How fortunate you must feel to meet these fine people and experience these magnificent views. Hopefully their tours will meet their dreams and expectations. Your content and cinematography style would make for excellent documentaries on a wide range of subjects.
My wife and I thought winning the Wave lottery for this weekend would be the highlight of our trip to AZ. However, we were both blown away by the video footage you shared here. We immediately phoned to arrange a tour by Sacred Edge the day after we get to see the Wave. Thank you so much for providing such amazing information! I wanted to ask, if you only had half a day for a Sacred Edge tour, would you recommend the walking tour or the driving tour? We’re guessing either would be great.
We created the Jerry Tour! Which is partial driving tour and hiking tour. So you can get both but it’ll be about 8 hours including the meal. Give us a call and see what we can work out with time. 😊
East rim was my break room. There is even a rock that I laid on ,as the condors circled above me. I could hear the air under their Wings.# 19 got the closest to me.Fond memories...
Watching this from Mingus mountain campground......views of Sedona and amazing. Heading for fossil creek tomorrow....no permits needed! Happy Hour meetup soon!? Lol. Timmy C Arizona
Great introduction to what should be an awe-inspiring experience of the Grand Canyon. It looks like easily accessible portion is in the Navajo Nation and the oral history experience makes it even more attractive. Sunrise and sunset panoramas would be best there are of the GC.
We camped almost across the canyon from it a while back. You could barely see the river. (Still incredible views). But the sheer cliffs and close proximity to the Colorado made these views my favorite.
Thank you for posting. Planning our trip to GC next May, traveling north to Mexican Hat, would love to visit east rim. Planning on reaching out to them
Hi, love your videos! I've been watching them for a while. I never thought to visit the East Rim until now. Though, I think you may have used the wrong pronunciation at 6:49. You used the clip from 0:21 where Franklin is demonstrating the incorrect pronunciation instead of the one at 0:16 when he pronounces it correctly. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Your cinematography is breathtaking Jerry. And I love stories from native Indians. May I ask what camera you use? I just upgraded to a Sony a7iii hoping for better picture quality.
This is GoPro 11 and the original Canon EOSR. Sony is a solid choice that I’ve considered a lot though. Especially in low light. You should be able to get some great images out of it once you get used to it.
Ah, sold my Harley a long time before Tina and I met. I’d rather dangle off a rope in a canyon than trust other people on the road while riding nowadays anyway.
I'm glad they're trying to keep it small. But won't stop other families from doing the same tours. That's what happened to Antelope Canyon...it's all ran by different families.
Actually there’s a limit to how many companies allowed in this area. Also our community voted to shut down permits for hikers and anyone wanting to wander unguided. Only two companies allowed and so far we’re the only one and we stick to only leaving footprints. We work with Grand Canyon Trust and other nonprofits to protect the area from commercial development also. We have grown up here for many generations, we love and respect our neighbors in the area. ❤😊
@@aliciamartin412 that's good to know. Lots of nice places seemed to be over crowded nowadays. I grew up around Page and a lot of areas became tourist attractions overnight.
@@kyklain86Our focus is to remain small so our community can enjoy their backyard. Many have animals grazing and their own families in the back country. I remember when Horseshoes bend was free and being in Antelope canyon before the tours. It is sad to know that you can no longer get the same experience. That is why we choose to limit tours so that visitors can enjoy the canyon without large crowds.
@@kyklain86Also tours are the easiest business to open up, they don’t require running water or electricity which we are severely lacking due to many reasons. I hope we can continue to work towards change so our community can open other types of businesses near the highway.
Their website says no drones are allowed so I didn’t even ask. This was all shot handheld on GoPro and a Canon EOSR. Some are slowed down and come out pretty smooth and can look like drone shots, but nope. This is how you see it from the ground, believe it or not.
There are many families and elders living in this area that do not want people wandering freely for their safety and many others reasons. which is why people must be guided. We carry the responsibility to keep the area clean and leave only foot prints. Families have animals grazing also. Due to visitors leaving burn marks on the ground due to camp fires, leaving waste and trash along the edge, also hitting animals with their vehicles and even doing doughnuts in the backcountry. We allow visitors to experience our backyard but the cost is not cheap for us to do so also. I hope you understand and give us a call to learn more about ways we try to protect the area and our community. 😊
Alicia pretty much explained it in her reply. People often forget or don't realize that this is not public land. People live here, and it is their right to allow or deny access to non-residents. They actually DID allow people to get permits and go for a while, but due to a lot of misbehavior, they stopped issuing permits. I think it's great they're allowing people to see it again.
It is generally accepted that the eastern border of the Grand Canyon starts at the confluence of the little Colorado River and the Colorado River. What you are showing in this video most people refer to as Glen Canyon
The part between Lees Ferry and the Little Colorado is actually Mable Canyon, not Glen Canyon, and, geologically speaking it is part of the Grand Canyon, as it is carved into the same formations as the Grand Canyon, whereas Glen Canyon is carved from younger (mesozoic rather than paleozoic) rocks.
While the National park boundary gets significantly smaller north of the confluence (to the point that it’s basically just the river) that area is still part of the National park and canyon - with the recognition that the “on top” land is Navajo Nation land. The same thing happens to the far west. The National park boundary shrinks to ½ mile from the rim More importantly, that’s just an arbitrary line on a map. If they’ve been calling it Grand Canyon for 1,000 years, I’ll let them continue.
@@danieldespain No one called it The Grand Canyon a thousand years ago. My point was what you are calling The Grand Canyon is in fact not The Grand Canyon.
FYI, I typo'd the phone number in the description originally, but it's corrected now. Sorry about that.
Thank you!
I can never get tired of seeing new views of the canyon. AWESOME share.❤❤

I love that name, SACRED EDGE TOURS!
Well done Jerry. Way to pay it forward ♥🙏
Thanks! I would not have found this option (Sacred Edge tour of the Grand Canyon) out on my own, so I appreciate your help.
You're welcome, and I appreciate the super thanks, but you absolutely didn't have to do that! But you won't be disappointed. Absolutely amazing views.
@@JerryArizona I called Sacred Edge today and arranged a tour. You'll be pleased to know they are getting several people who have called after watching your video and made their own reservations. They now have reservations 3 days in a row the weekend I am going.
Wow, this is a really cool looking tour.
Hi Jerry, You really do excel at teaching us things about nature and Native American culture. Plus you’re ethical - we trust you!

Yes, we mustn't forget the struggles they've had. Too easy to ignore.

What a great find! Thank you!
A truly holy place. I could feel it through the video.
I've seen the Grand Canyon years ago but apparently not the best parts.
Good luck to them.
Love the entire area, love your precious interactions with the people of the area
Very thoughtful Thank you for this

Another winner, Jerry! Your photography continues to impress. And, thanks for introducing us to a new adventure. Will be calling these folks.

Beautiful photography as always ! Thanks Jerry for this insight about this spectacular Vista & tour.
WOW. That all looks So good. I hope they do Really Well. Even down to the food it's amazing. Thanks for sharing this. I might have to head up there soon. I'm just down the road in Cottonwood.
WOW Jerry!! This is amazing!! Other worldly views!! Simply amazing!!! I hope it stays small scale. It would be crazy awesome to see!!! Thanks JA!!
Thank you for sharing this Jerry. I will try to add this East Rim tour to our SW trip next spring!
Thank you for sharing your experience. Extremely well done and the views were breathtaking. Great job with the videography. You set a high standard. 😀👍
You're a lucky man Jerry, Spectacular!!!
Amazing! What an experience! Thank you for showing it to us.
WOW! Thank you very much Jerry for your generosity and just who you are as an authentic explorer. I appreciate you and your passions.
Thanks Jerry. ✌️
I agree,absolutely breathtaking
You getting pretty damn good at this camera stuff!
Thanks! I’m tryin’.
Excellent
The Navajo have the best part? Good.
Thank you for sharing!
What an honor to be invited on this tour. As always, great videography. These new views of The Canyon are awe-inspiring. No words. Best wishes to Sacred Edge Tours. Thanks for sharing.
What timing Jerry, I’m going to to be there n two weeks. I just may look them up, thanks.
This looks amazing! I'm going to put it on my "bucket list."
Damn, that food looks delicious! Will certainly consider giving this tour a try.
Awesome. The further away that you get from the popular spots, the better the Canyon gets.
Que c est beau ,waoooou,merci Jerry.
2:12 😍 breath taking!!
Wow, I would love to do this! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you Jerry for thinking out of box! I am excited about the authentic opportunity of a future East Rim tour of the Grand Canyon. I hope Sacred Edge Tour makes it work!
Thank you for giving us a new perspective!
With one word: Fantastic!
Very cool, Jerry, thank you.

wow the cinematography is gorgeous
Wow, thank you Jerry this is definitely going on my list for when I make it to the Grand Canyon!
Wonderful.
Those views look amazing! Thank you for letting us know. I'd love to check their tour out the next time I'm in that neck of the woods.
Love what you do Jerry!! Always putting out the best /authentic outdoor adventure content. Looking at my calendar now to book this tour
beautiful,thank you!
Thank you so much. Incredible!
Yes, very cool.
It would of been nice to hear the stories he told u . It was nice to see what it really is . Thank u😊
Yeah. I didn’t want to spoil it if people wanted to do the tour themselves.
Another great one Jerry! So pretty!

Nice break room. I’ve had the condors land and hang out not far from my campsite in that area. Love it out there.
My Medicine Man sat on my Rock with me.I have some wonderful memories. NO one can take them from me
Great info , Thank You Jerry Arizona.
Amazing! Thx for sharing!
Watching this from Mingus mountain campground......views of Sedona and amazing. Heading for fossil creek tomorrow....no permits needed! Happy Hour meetup soon!? Lol. Timmy C Arizona
Love that view from Mingus Mtn Campground.
Have a great time at Fossil Creek!! One of my favorite places 😊
Thanks Jerry!

Looks amazing!! I was just up in Page doing a bunch of hikes and we hit the East Entrance on the way back but this would have been awesome! Next time.
Great video Jerry, seems like something i'd love to do.
Yessssssssssss🤙🤙🤙
The way the upper canyon is hidden from view on the plateau above is a real surprise.
That view at 3:12! And at 6:23! Thanks for the views.
Well !! I was wondering why we where only getting 8 and a half min of this wonderment ? But I'm all in for the success of their venture 🙏
I didn’t want to show every detail and spoil the experience for those who want to see it for themselves.
@@JerryArizona Totally understandable Jerry 😀
Sure miss you and Tina miss your videos
Got one coming out every Monday. She's in most of them.

Good show Barry! Missed Tina but 😢 that’s ok this time. Could you and her take a rt66 motorcycle 🏍️ trip. Love to see you too travel on a bike 😊
Ah, sold my Harley a long time before Tina and I met. I’d rather dangle off a rope in a canyon than trust other people on the road while riding nowadays anyway.
@@JerryArizona how about strip poker ♦️?
👍🏻
Hey, Jerry! What is that fantastic art behind you? I would like to see it in real size. Greetings from Germany!
It’s actually a painting from a friend of mine. His mom painted it. She was an extremely talented artist. I’d have to ask him for more details.
@@JerryArizona That would be fine! Thanks a lot.

Hi! Jerry did not use a drone. He simply stood near the edge. These are the views from simply standing or walking along with us. 😊
It's unfortunate that many people can't afford to visit this part of the Grand Canyon. We should work towards making it more accessible to everyone.
