I Found Secret Ruins with my Drone Deep in this Canyon!

I was hiking through a Remote part of Tonto National Forest on the Apache Trail, I Decided to get my drone out and survey the area, and all of a sudden I stumbled upon some Old Cliff Dwellings!

Dude, that amount of blackening from smoke is not a sign of a "bonfire." It is a sign of human habitation over a long period of time.

[@Cnsalmoni]

And you can tell it’s really old by how much of the ceiling has fallen away, exposing new uncharred rock!

[@9greatdanes981]

⁠@@Cnsalmoni 15:31 I saw two cliff cave ceilings fall, must be younger then they told us... Saw old pictures of them building Roosevelt dam over the old red brick dam. Must be older than they told us. Come to think about it, I’m not sure I believe anything we were taught. Most pictographs in Arizona look like Hebrew.

[@johnwillis4706]

You can never tell what you might find in the desert S.W.. 30 years ago three of my friends and I were exploring the desert in Arizona, no, I'm not going to say where. I found a cave in a canyon and decided to have a look. Inside about 50 feet from the entrance behind a rock wall sticking out about ten feet, I found two Henry rifles, a Winchester rifle, two Colt SAA revolvers and an 1873 Colt Gatling gun. We hauled them out and back to my truck and I've had them ever since. Once cleaned and oiled they all worked as intended and were in very good condition. So, search on my friend, you never know what you may come across.

They must be worth a pretty penny.

sounds like an old bandit stash for future use.

[@krisgalusha9820]

I often have a strong feeling there is so much more hidden in the cliffs from tens of thousands of years of migration and exploration and habitation. Always keep looking. Thanks

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

I couldnt agree more. the area I explored is only a fraction compared to whats out there........I hope to explore more....Thanks for watching!

I used to pull a tri-hull 65hp outboard up and down that road with a 59 Willeys jeep in the 60 and 70s. The road looks much rougher here.

Wow! Cool, that’s a large herd of Bighorn Sheep. Great adventure!

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Lived in Arizona fornl 5 years, and this is the first time I saw them. it was a pretty cool experience. They were probably coming down for some water

You should get together with Desert Drifter. He explores a lot of cliff dwellings.

Love Desert Drifter. He's so respectful of ancient dwellings and artifacts.

[@user-no4jw6ww5w]

Your findings of the cliff dwellings reminds me of Canyon De Chelly National Monument in the Apache County, AZ

[@sallylea1]

Jessie you have a great voice and a real knack for exploration!!!

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Hey thanks @sallylea1 , I'm always intrigued by the unknown that exists out in the desert. so many unexplored places out there. Never know what you will come across

[@markwalters9754]

A guy called desert drifter on KZbin has documented a heap of these small dwellings. They are grain stores. About 1000 years old. Nice video 👍🏼

Mysteries of the Superstition Mountains did a story on KZbin about a desperado called “Hacksaw Tom”, who robbed travelers near the Fish Creek bridge. His holdout was one of the nearby caves in the canyon.

[@josealatriste6558]

Let’s go! I love exploring throughout fish creek canyon. Everything always looks so easy to hike to until you actually do it 😅

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Amen to that that! I will say this, some of the most scenic views I have ever had the opportunity to lay eyes on....either had a really scary drive to get to them, or they had a really intense hike......but they are worth it every time

[@Colleen1978]

Hmmm...I think the cave way back in the canyon was inhabited by outlaws back in the 1800s. Or maybe it was a cliff dwelling. Fun to imagine. Loved the sheep! My hubs was in the cave you went in and thought it was was a campfire too. As far as the Trip back up the hill... we are both 63 and yes, it was pretty tough... many stops along the way! Pretty stiff the next day! Lol Keep exploring! Love your videos!

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Hey thanks @Colleen1978 glad you enjoyed the video! Yea, you never who, or what inhabited those caves. Hoping to come back out here again and go in them......I must know what's inside!!!!!....also, still sore from this hike haha, thanks again for watching!

[@gpocat4518]

I have seen Fish Creek running hard, literally 3 feet from the bottom of that bridge. A lot of water can run through that area. It's sad to see that route in that condition because of the fire a few years ago. I hope the reopen it soon.

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Wow! thats a lot of water, i dont doubt it thought....thanks for watching!
