Blue Canyon & Coal Mine Canyon, Arizona with Hopi Guide. One word - Otherworldly!

[@davidblack7528]

Thank you for sharing, glad only the Hopi can allow the visit. Like Ed Abbey says, you build a good road into these hidden wonders it's all over. Make the people who really want to see it and appreciate it struggle a bit to get there.

I could not agree more with your comment! So, glad the locations are on Native American land… they will preserve it!

I lived in St George, Utah for 9 years and always wanted to see this place... thank you for sharing your experience...

[@Seracdog]

Took me 8 years to finally check this off my list… a MUST see in person to believe kind of place! Already planning a return visit!

[@immostlyharmless]

Blue Canyon is amazing! Thanks for sharing!!

[@Seracdog]

I totally agree and am super glad it is on Hopi land! If it were in the hands of our government it would probably be a National Park and overrun by people!

GREAT VIDEO AND PHOTOS. You did a terrific job of capturing this beauty

[@Seracdog]

Thank you so much but all the credit should go to Mother Nature for providing us with such a beautiful place!

[@AZTravelers]

The guide was great and the canyon was great!

Mother Nature!

[@Southwest_Trailblazers]

Will have to check this one out!

[@Seracdog]

Incredible place that very few have seen!

There's three guys. I watch a lot that will hike in the back country for miles and hours and hours. Camp for a couple days. And really come back with some great video of the geology and beauty of the area. They love and respect the environment and take good care of it. Beautiful photos. Honestly, I just don't like the music of any kind with these videos. I'd rather hear your feet. Crunching on the gravel and the sound of the wind. But thanks for sharing

[@Seracdog]

I get it! Thank you!

[@daniellemiddleton9916]

beautiful!

[@Seracdog]

Amen and thank god it is relatively hard to get to!

[@richardglady3009]

What an amazing landscape. Thank you for visiting and creating this wonderful video. Please forgive my ignorance, but what is a “hoodoo?” Thanks for all your hard work.

[@Seracdog]

Thank you! In general, a hoodoo is a spire made of rock and minerals that can range anywhere from five to one hundred and fifty feet tall. There are big, round hoodoos that look like boulders perched on kitchen stools, tall, thin spires that seem to go on forever, and rounded chimneys with large rocks sitting quietly on the top.

@@Seracdog thank you for taking the time to answer my question. Lacking a geologic background, I had never heard the word.

[@Seracdog]

Of hoodoos

[@Seracdog]

Opps… meant to say that Arizona and Utah is home to thousands of hoodoos!

[@preilly96]

Awesome thanks

[@Seracdog]

It’s a fantastic hidden gem!

[@jerrywestaway9316]

Wouldn't it be awesome if they could make videos like these without music in them

[@hollywood8997]

Whats the name if the tour company?

[@Seracdog]

Ancient Pathways Tours, Bertram Tsavadawa, 928.797.8145. [e-mail] He is unequivocally the best!

[@hollywood8997]

Thank you! Was the hike easy ans short?

[@hollywood8997]

Where can i book

[@Seracdog]

In the video description is contact info for the guide we used. However, extreme patience is required! He has a different full time job and only guides when he can get away from his full time gig. So, it may take several emails and phone calls before he responds, so one must be patient and flexible. Have a date in mind because that is the first question he will ask!
