Thanks a lot for watching and safe journeys!
We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.
Thank you for inspiration Gabriel !!!!!
🍀Hello.. Gabriel... I like this place a lot... Amazing... Colorado... You are a great man... Thanks.. Stay safe and healthy 🍀
I've watched you travel the world for years and now you're in my own back yard. Welcome to my beautiful state! I hope you enjoy/enjoyed your time here. It's a truly special place. Thank you for respecting our lands and history and for setting a good example for the other tourists.
"The deepest problems of modern life derive from the claim of the individual to preserve the autonomy and individuality of his existence in the face of overwhelming social forces, of historical heritage, of external culture, and of the technique of life." You made me take a dip in the past. Cheers, Domenico.
It's very rare and also surprising to see this country has a history of ancient civilization, never knew it before. Thanks Gabriel for showing this beautiful coverage it's definitely worth to see it.
Thers a large quantity of Native American structures still standing but I am glad the Europeans got a foothold here as person of native heritage. I like living in a modern home with heating and air plus electricity.
Gabe! This is great! I used to live in Taos, NM. The Pueblo village there is also worth a visit...more native american exploration please : ) Godspeed
Incredible scenery 👍😀
One day not enough. That's a week's worth. Awesome.
So much fun watching your video. I visited Mesa Verde in the late 1980’s. It was summertime, so the guided tours were available. For me, it was a spiritually moving experience to tour the cliff side dwellings. The whole place felt other worldly.
Nothing beats those ancient petroglyphs, love them!
Visited there a few years ago, so peaceful, loved it.
Awesome. Surprising how few people seem to visit these sites.
we come from dust, we return to dust. excellent video. safe journeys dude...
Ahhh Beautiful Colorado
Cool. I never even realised the US had tribes that built this kind of stuff, I thought they were all nomads.
EDIT: Hey, the classic Gabe song at the end. Isn’t it Karma Wheel or something?
Pretty close, "Wheel of Karma", info below the video.
Great videos! Me and my wife camped at Mesa Verde National Park two or three nights and explored a few cliff dwellings. We even put a picture of Cliff Palace ruin on canvas that I took. spiritual peaceful place
I live in the southwest so nice to see your videos on it!
Perhaps ignorant of me, but I never knew the US had ancient archaeological sites like those, and combined with those impressive landscapes I'm blown away. Truly one of the most superb areas I've seen online from the US, so much so that it's tempting me to take a trip to the US one day. I wonder, are those ancient Native American ruin sites popular tourist spots over there, or relatively unknown and underappreciated?
I find it interesting that a large portion of the population is far more concerned with seeing what humans have left behind in settings like this one & other archeological sites around the world than natural unaltered settings. Why do we need that connection to love and be inspired to see a place? The natural beauty is enough for me & I wish people didn’t need ancient human history in order to appreciate some place. Natural history is just as interesting & in my opinion more worth experiencing.
Your videos always amaze me, Gabriel. 💚 Even after watching your videos for years. I am eager to learn about the Dove Creek area.
Dude waiting anxiously for you to come to Pakistan......That will be a life time changing experience ......its a challenge.
It’s definitely not an easy visa to get for Americans. I have a friend who has offered to take my husband and I as he is from there but the visa process is hard.
Very cool and interesting video, thank you. I love pre hispanic archeology
It's Indigenous/Native archaeology pre-contact. That way Eurocentric culture isn't centered as the standard because people were living here from 15,000 years ago and deserve their own recognition without European intrusion
I live like an hour from there. Cool to see you appreciating the scenery in my “backyard” if you are going to the rocky mountains after this there is a good chance you’ll atleast drive through my hometown. I would recommend seeing silverton colorado and the neighboring ophir. Rent a jeep for a day or two and go up some of the ohv trails around that area like california gulch and stony pass.
Another great video!
I’m going to add this place to the bucket list for sure
I’m proud to be from Colorado! It’s a magnificent state.
I was raised just a couple hours away from there! If you are still in the area I highly recommend checking out Pagosa Springs
Love Mesa Verde! I hope you get a chance to see Chaco Canyon on this trip as well. You won't regret it.
Epic walk, like i was there too!
Great video thanks gabriel 👍
We were at Mesa Verde last year and the Petroglyph trail was closed I think due to rockfall and the cliff dwellings were COVID Closed. Cool place though. Glad you got to see it. We’re over at Zion right now. Valley Of The Gods next stop. Quoting Jim Morrison, “The west is the best!”
I really admire the things you do.
I couldn't do it, but I'm still admiring someone who can!
My favorite of all your videos so far.
Awesome, glad to hear it.
Free Trail Maps at the Visitor Centers. I did that loop, but backwards from your trek! All those numbers on the trail are explained in the free map!
Mesa Verde NP is similar to Chaco Canyon NP, and Walnut Canyon National Monument. If you haven't been. Also notable and close by, Chimney Rock National Monument.... Nice videos Gabe!!
Very interesting, thank you so much for sharing.
We love visiting all the native sites in the southwest. Imagine finding this one! WOW
Super.... Good presentation... Good visuals.... KERALA
Sun Point View is amazing. This may be my favourite video you have made. Who knew this was there. Not me! I
Fascinating, thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks for sharing the views of your home country makes the uk look so small in comparison. Xxkeep safe.
A blessed good day sir Gabe Wowwww what a nice beautiful Mesa Verde and Cliff palace and ancient ruins of america and rock formation another Epic journey thank u so.much sir Gabe for your excellent Wonderful walk around tour video with you keep safe Godbless u your travel video is highly recommended from your solid fan viewer supporter from the Philippines 🇵🇭 sir Vhin 👏👏👏🙏👍🙏🙂🙂😍🙂🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
17:57 Indiana Gabriel in the Temple of Doom. Episode: Escape From the Closing Walls!
I was there two summers ago. Amazing place. Thanks!
nice music, mysterious landscapes. well done!
Thanks.
I was praying that there was no earthquake when you were going between the giant rocks 17:54 . 🍀
Another good one Gabe! On my bucket list. Hopefully this year.
Loving this USA road trip , more please 😎
More on the way.
Excellent work.
BTW - you can see the ruins up close. However, you have to sign up for a tour at the visitors center. You then walk in with a ranger. My son and I did two tours in one day....it was great!
Of course, covid probably changed all of that...so I'm not sure how they operate now.
Also BTW - We did the Petroglyph Point trail as well. And you are right...the trail at the top of the plateau makes a nice loop!
We did this ~20 years ago - there was a stern talk beforehand about not doing it unless you were properly fit - we were a bit surprised when the tour eventually covered all of a fraction of a mile, and the only person to have any issues was a fit but well built person who had fun squeezing through one gap.
It is not for people who are not fit and/or uncomfortable with height/confined spaces. It requires climbing on steep ladders and crawling through narrow holes.
The tours start in May, closed for the winter season.
Amazing and beautiful!
Good vid.
Your fairly close to my area, I just recently shot a vid of hieroglyphs and a corn/flour grinding boulder and man made rock walls I found in a canyon in the middle portion of Arizona.
Keep up the travels and stay safe out there!
Want to know more about the history of indigenous people of America... Thanks.
@Gabe love the video, really cool to see these kind of travel video's
Hopefully this is my next trip.
LOVE Mesa Verde. If you're ever visiting Durango, CO, this makes a great day-trip. Much better than the Four Corners Monument.
Thats amazing
Thank You Gabe
I lived in this part of the country (northern New Mexico) for 6 wonderful years... one of the best things was living at elevation (7,0000 ft) which helped with hiking......
Was looking forward to zooming in on the petroglyphs, less zooming in on the signs that are read. Loving the journey!
THat petroglyph trail was fantastic!
Went through all of Mesa Verde in 1966 when you still could, and the park Chevron station charged the MOST I had ever paid. $.50/gal.
Those were the days.
Another Great State with Canyons Nice video Gabriel 👍 😀 🤝 ❤️
Ty I enjoyed that hike!
So want to go here..bucket list
Thanks love these
Been there twice. Wonderful place to learn about Pueblan culture. If you have a chance, visit Chaco canyon national historic park in northwest New Mexico
Beautiful
should i be scared of snake. hicking there. is there any poisonous snake there
Maybe a few rattlers around but very rare to see them, I never see snakes while hiking. No sense in worrying about them, just keep your eyes and ears open.
Another dream tour..
Amazing. Loved it.
We honeymooned there in June 1959. They still have not renovated those dilapidated units?
Mesa Verde is the kind of place one needs several days to thoroughly explore, I enjoyed a portion of it a while back. Must've been climate change that dried up the place and caused those populations to scatter. One thing is certain, there were a lot of native communities in present day USA before the Europeans arrived!
If you have not read "1491", see if you can find a copy (published about 15 ? Years ago). Extensive study of the peoples of North and South America. Fascinating book.
Epic I love this subject so interesting
The builders of Mesa Verde, part of the ancient Anasazi culture that operated a vast trading network before the inhabitants picked up and walked away, in the 13th Century AD, probably arrived as Fremont People, from the north, settling on mountain tops that appeared as islands in a vast inland sea, circa 500BC. A "lake" some 400 miles long and 280 miles wide stretched across the Four Corners region, from north of Price, to Pie Town, NNW to SSE, and from the San Francisco Peaks to the foothills of the Sierra Nacimientos, east to west. As the waters receded, eroding the features of what became the "Grand" Canyon, these peoples moved down the cliff faces, to water levels, where they build homes and lived for great swaths of time, until the waters began their precipitous fall to the plains, where they rebuilt sites like Wupatki, Hovenweep and Chaco. Eventually, the waters receded too far to support those locations (I feel confident the "north road" out of Chaco, and the reason it "stops" where it does, has more to do with their need for water than anything else). At that point, they "walked away" from everything they built.
The "valleys" in your video were filled with water up to the brims, and the record of its "falling" levels is written on the walls. The erosion was caused by water moving fast, at first, setting up turbulence. If you want to test this theory, take a gallon water bottle filled with water and up end it. Hang on tight, because a gallon will work the bottle, as the water "seeks its own level', exiting. Multiply that by a quadrillion, for the amount of water -- probably on the order of 350-500 ACRE-FEET, moving at the speed of a tsunami (around 500 miles an hour). Maximum damage to everything in its path, from forests to mountains. I believe the flanks of Tsé Bitʼaʼí, aka Shiprock, were washed away by this flood, between 2,700 to 3,500 years ago. The Bisti Wilderness was carved by the flood waters, in their later stages, Arches and Canyonlands, Bryce and Zion, earlier casuialties. The astrological (later, "astronomical") features of Chaco, and many such sites, like Lowry, are related to the "medicine wheels" of Alberta Canada, probably created by ancestors of those who ventured south, into the present-day American West.
Why would they be? The world had been turned topsy-turvy, not once, or twice, but repeatedly, at least seven times in recorded history (since times we have "anecdotal" evidence of). We know this because pottery, in the transformation from wet clay to hardened ceramic, adopts the magnetic signature of the Earth, allowing researchers to rebuild the pottery, from the kiln, or the kiln from the pottery. Examples of seven different locations of "magnetic north" have been found. Something "turned" the Earth, from its appointed course, or from its previous orientation, at those times. We have a common "Bible story" about one of these times, in Joshua, who "commanded the Sun to stand still in the sky". The Earth stopping its spinning would have caused catastrophic damage everywhere on the planet There are plenty of signs of just such devastation.
One only has to be familiar with automobiles to understand how deadly sudden stops can be. A contemporaneous Chinese legend speaks of a time when the Sun "began to rise, but the dragon that lives in the sea rose up and swallowed it" A tsunami came out of the ocean, and flooded the interior valleys of China beyond the coastal mountains to such a depth, it took 30 years to drain away. Another Chinese legend tells of an emperor who sent out parties to "locate the four corners of the Earth" (the cardinal directions". Why would he have done that, except in the case of "north" no longer being in the same place. Given that we live on a water planet, such disruptions would have caused widespread water damage. There are many such stories, anomalies, and enigmas left behind, that suggest global catastrophes, but geologists persist in relegating all such earth-shaping events to "millions of years ago", despite the testimony of "survivors", the people who built those cliff dwellings and petroglyphs, for one.
Hi Gabriel! You don't get lost in those trails?? The view is nice, but the trails ?
Thanks boss
We just returned from Colorado and plan on visiting Mesa Verde in a 2nd trip. Wanted to do more hiking than what we did in RMNP, but the altitude got to us. Have you ever had problems with altitude sickness when traveling?
Nope, I've never had altitude sickness and been up to 17,000 feet in the Himalayas. It just depends on the person, some are more susceptible to it.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos That's good. Maybe we went too all-out on this last trip. We've been based out of central North Carolina for about 16 years, an area that's less than a thousand feet above sea level.
Hi Gabriel, It's strange what happen to the Native Americans much like the Aztecs and Mayans that abandon the lands that they live in for centuries without any reason. I'm sure things really changed once European settlers came in and disrupted the matter in which they lived their changing their lives forever. The name of the state Colorado in Spanish translated in English means rare heat.
Colorado means 'red' from the reddish brown Colorado River.
@@LM-mj4pw You may be right but the word Rado means rare so it could well be rare color.
@@wilfredotorres6628 I've lived in CO for almost 40 yrs and have never heard of 'rare' referred to Colorado. Rare = rara/raro?
@@LM-mj4pw I understand an translating from spanish to english like the state of Arizona means Ari means dry zona means zone.
@@wilfredotorres6628 I didn't translate the states. just the word 'rare'.
Thanks for your content, Great Videos!
Can anyone tell me where I can find the opening track and also the one featured around 28.00?
Music is listed in the description below the video, including links to some of the songs.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Ironically, I was thinking that. I did not check, my mistake. Thankyou. :)
No problem.
Finally near my Home Zone. Enjoy.You heading to the the San Juans next?
Great music!
Cool, thanks.
Come to Chicago!
i dont understand why is this Indian ruin's so badly maintained in USA. this whould be a main attraction in some european country
People lived there for safety or to hide from the sun. Places I would like to visit include Arizona meteorite crater
you the man!
it looks like great cannien
Hooray I got my vaccine today so I'm going to get my travel on now and not have to worry about covid like you Gabe I'm going to be able to enter many countries now hope to see you around the world have fun in the U.S. Gabe LOLHappy Days everyone
Good for you, enjoy your last days on this earth, traveling zombie, LOL
According to Falshi, you still can't dine indoors and according to CDC head, it doesn't curb surge in Michigan. You've been duped.
Unreal!
We know that knights fought dragons. China had theirs. What about this far fetched idea. Could it be possible that some dinosaurs actually survived and maybe going to the cliffs was a way to protect their loved ones. This area would be perfect for big dinos. Once they were not assaulted by them anymore, they returned back down to the lower ground. How about checking the ground level areas for dino bones.
What’s up with the alien hand?
Cool to see the Native American ruins, something I hadn't experienced much of other than some midwestern mounds builder type sites. I had a crazy funny Vaudville Aunt in 1978 she took me to the Headwaters of the Mississippi River at Itaska State Park, she was in her late 70's . We stood at the grave of Cheif Joseph...she kneeled down to listen to his spirit on the ground...she says..."you don't say" My 9 yr old self asked her..."what did he say?" she says in a groaning...old man type voice.."..Nnnnoooottthhhinnngggg attttt allllll....."...Of course I didn't get it... HA!!
whats the song called
Music is listed in the description below the video.
HI WHAT CAMERA IS IT?
Three cameras, info below the video.
Teluride next?
Yes, there will be a full video tour from there.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Awesome! Definitely excited to watch!
Nice t-shirt. What does it say?
Philosoraptor.
First
👍
Impressive
Got it.
Dude, it's a communal gathering spot or it was a simple shop. The shelves were filled with goods?
Be creative in your thinking!
It's not always a Temple or something "important"...it might as well just be a toilet!?
RIP NATIVE AMERICA
Hey ? Speak for yourself...Native American and Native America is doing just fine! where have you been?? ...Its this/your Cyber generation 'Head Deep' in Video games wasting there lives away Unaware of the Earth people around them...Get out and meet some, instead of spreading the anti-native propaganda.
@@junipersnow1You're crazy boy, America will never, and never has been what it was after the settlement, no matter how good you think your ranch is
❤❤❤
Second, so close!
they are just showing there hands in the pictures throwing up 5 and peace because the giants had 6 they were at war
