Prehistoric Rock Art
The Great Gallery at Horseshoe Canyon, Canyonlands National Park in Utah
A rugged hike down and across a steep canyon leads to some of the best preserved as well as oldest rock art in North America. These are the markings of prehistoric desert nomads that roamed this area five to eight thousand years ago. The figures sit about twenty feet up a cliff face, the larger of them over twelve feet tall.

Hiking to the Great Gallery - Canyonlands National Park, Utah
A hike in the Horseshoe Canyon section of Canyonlands National Park in Utah leads to the Great Gallery, a site considered to be the most significant ancient rock art panel in North America. The pictographs at the Great Gallery are between 2000 to 8000 years old and includes the Holy Ghost. The trail leads to three other pictograph panels, High Gallery, Horseshoe Gallery and Alcove Gallery.
Most Beautiful Place / Canyonlands National Park, Southeastern Utah
Canyonlands National Park is a U.S. National Park located in southeastern Utah near the town of Moab. It preserves a colorful landscape eroded into countless canyons, mesas, and buttes by the Colorado River, the Green River, and their respective tributaries. Legislation creating the park was signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson on September 12, 1964.
The park is divided into four districts: the Island in the Sky, the Needles, the Maze, and the combined rivers—the Green and Colorado—which carved two large canyons into the Colorado Plateau. While these areas share a primitive desert atmosphere, each retains its own character. Author Edward Abbey, a frequent visitor, described the Canyonlands as the most weird, wonderful, magical place on earth—there is nothing else like it anywhere.
Recreation
Canyonlands is a popular recreational destination. Since 2007, more than 400,000 people have visited the park each year with a record of 776,218 visitors in 2016, representing a 22 percent increase from the prior year. The geography of the park is well suited to a number of different recreational uses. Hikers, mountain bikers, backpackers, and four-wheelers all enjoy traveling the rugged, remote trails within the Park. The White Rim Road traverses the White Rim Sandstone level of the park between the rivers and the Island in the Sky. Since 2015, day-use permits must be obtained before travelling on the White Rim Road due to the increasing popularity of driving and bicycling along it. The park service's intent is to provide a better wilderness experience for all visitors while minimizing impacts on the natural surroundings.
The Island in the Sky mesa from the Needles district
As of 2016, the Island in the Sky district, with its proximity to the Moab, Utah area, attracts 76.7 percent of total park visitors. The Needles district is the second most visited, drawing 20.7 percent of visitors. The remote Maze district accounts for only about 1.5 percent of visitors, while river rafters and other river users account for the remaining 1.1 percent of total park visitation.
Political compromise at the time of the park's creation limited the protected area to an arbitrary portion of the Canyonlands basin. Conservationists hope to complete the park by bringing the boundaries up to the high sandstone rims that form the natural border of the Canyonlands landscape.
Geography
The Colorado River and Green River combine within the park dividing it into three districts called the Island in the Sky, the Needles and the Maze. The Colorado River flows through Cataract Canyon below its confluence with the Green River.
The Island in the Sky district is a broad and level mesa to the north of the park between Colorado and Green river with many overlooks from the White Rim, a sandstone bench 1,200 feet (366 m) below the Island, and the rivers, which are another 1,000 feet (305 m) below the White Rim.
Chesler Park in the Needles
The Needles district is located east of the Colorado River and is named after the red and white banded rock pinnacles which dominate it, but various other forms of naturally sculptured rock such as canyons, grabens, potholes, and a number of arches similar to the ones of the nearby Arches National Park can be found as well. Unlike Arches National Park, where many arches are accessible by short to moderate hikes or even by car, most of the arches in the Needles district lie in back country canyons and require long hikes or four-wheel-drive trips to reach them.
The area was once home of the Ancestral Puebloans, of which many traces can be found. Although the items and tools they used have been largely taken away by looters, some of their stone and mud dwellings are well-preserved. The Ancestral Puebloans also left traces in the form of petroglyphs, most notably on the so-called Newspaper Rock near the Visitor Center at the entrance of this district.
The Chocolate Drops buttes above the Maze
The Maze district is located west of the Colorado and Green rivers, and is the least accessible section of the park, and one of the most remote and inaccessible areas of the United States.
A geographically detached section of the park located west-northwest of the main unit, Horseshoe Canyon Unit, contains panels of rock art made by hunter-gatherers from the Late Archaic Period (2000-1000 BC) pre-dating the Ancestral Puebloans. Originally called Barrier Canyon, Horseshoe's artifacts, dwellings, pictographs, and murals are some of the oldest in America. It is believed that the images depicting horses date from after 1540 AD, after the Spanish re-introduced horses to America.

Scenic photographic & video journey: Chaco Canyon, Monument Valley, Slot Canyons, & Horseshoe Bend
Landscape photography and time-lapse photo essay combined into a spiritual journey through the Four Corners region of the American Southwest. Beginning in Alamosa and the Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado, then Chaco Canyon in New Mexico to see the Pueblo Bonito settlements built by the Anasazi Indians. We then filmed moonrise and sunset over the Mittens Mesas in Monument Valley, Arizona. Next the famed Slot Canyons in Antelope Canyon, Arizona where the dry creek beds were carved from the sandstone by flash floods. Sunbeams illuminate the red sandstone as Amazing Grace, played by the Native American Flute player Charles Littleleaf, accompanies. Eleven people were washed to their deaths in this canyon by a flash flood. We filmed the sunset over Horseshoe bend and the Colorado River using super wide angle lenses, then captured sunrise at Mesa Arch near Moab in Utah. Timelapse, HDR photography and super wide angle effects were combined into a ProShow presentation that portrays the spirit of the Southwest region of the United States.
Getting Lost in Canyonlands National Park
On a recent trip to Moab, my family I camped, hiked, rappelled and took the wrong trail. We loved (almost) every minute of it.
Figure it Out: on the Hayduke Trail
The Hayduke Trail is better described as a route than a trail, because most of the time there is no trail. It's 800 miles long snaking across southern Utah and Northern Arizona through canyon country. The terrain is very hard to navigate through and often requires dangerous descents and ascents on canyon walls. Not to mention it's in the desert so water is often scarce. What makes it all worth it is un-paralleled scenery in a strange and extremely remote environment.
Figure it Out is about more than just hiking the Hayduke though. It explores the psychological benefits of spending time in the wilderness and how we can incorporate those lessons into everyday life.
I have previously released 10 episodes about my Hayduke hike totaling over 4 hours in duration. This is a 50-minute version, condensing all those episodes down to a single film.
The episodes can be found here,
If you would like to support this channel please consider buying this film on DVD, it includes a 90-minute version of Figure it Out as well as a bunch of bonus features. On my website there are other hiking films and prints for sale as well as books I've written.
Arches National Park - America's Great Sights
A beautiful Arches National Park sight-seeing trip with the Bro'd Trip
Watch the outdoor videos I love most here:
Don't miss an adventure! Consider subscribing:
Though I have visited Moab, Utah several times, I didn't make it to Arches National Park until really recently. This video captures my first tour of the park with Justin and Adam from the Bro'd Trip. Arches is incredible and it's hard to believe that a landscape could be naturally sculpted like Arches is. The park seemed pretty small compared to other national parks I have been to, but it certainly was worth it. We got in for free for the 100th anniversary of the national parks service.
As far as the Bro'd trip goes, I wanted to make this video for them to help them get exposure. Personally I believe they are producing entertaining videos that show some of the coolest places in the United States. Their YouTube channel is fairly new, so I'm hoping to help people find their content. I feel they deserve it. I haven't made it through a vlog of theirs without laughing, and that's awesome. Please check out their channel, drop a comment letting them know I sent you, and if you like what you see, please subscribe. It's always nice knowing you're producing content for an audience that is waiting to watch your next video.
Here's the link to their channel:
You can find links to their other social properties in their channel art.
I really wanted to promote Justin and Adam's channel, because I like what they're doing. So if this video seems like a promotion, that's because it is. However, they did not pay me to make this or provide any other incentive to make this video. In fact, they didn't even ask me to make it. They're doing a great job, I wanted to support them, and our visit together to Arches seemed like a great time to spread the word about the cool adventures they're choosing to share with us on their channel. As my channel develops, I want to take opportunities to try to help people out who are doing cool things. Of course, it's up to all of you as to whether or not videos like this actually do help. While it's not necessary to have a big channel to make movies and have fun, a few subscribers definitely help. I hope you'll accept my invitation to virtually join Justin and Adam's year-long journey living the van life. I did meet up with them for a work-related trip, but shot this video on my own time on the weekend.
As always, thank you for the support and thank you for watching. :) - Chris

Virtual Hike: Mesa Arch Trail in Canyonlands National Park, Utah
Mesa Arch is one of the most iconic sights in all on Canyonlands National Park. Located near Moab, Utah, Canyonlands is a very close neighbor to Arches National Park (located across town). Being so close, the two parks make a great weekend trip for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts looking to take in some of Utah's most breathtaking vistas and stunning red rock formations.
Join Chimani for the first in a series of Virtual Hikes. The virtual hike of Mesa Arch Trail to the arch is a three-minute sample of the terrain, environment, and overall landscape that one can expect to encounter when setting out from the parking lot.
The trail itself a relatively easy hike. With a few moderate inclines and man-made steps, the half-mile hike can be done in a half-hour or less, but it is not to be rushed. Along the well-maintained trail are a variety of trees, plants, and cacti to stop and enjoy.
The suspense increases along the hike as the trail seems to intentionally hide Mesa Arch from view until the final few feet. The stunning formation comes into view with a seemingly never-ending backdrop of red rock canyons, pillars, cliffs, and mountains.
It was mid-afternoon when the Chimani team visited Mesa Arch in the video, however it is uncommon for there to be this few people on the trail or at the arch. On this day, temperatures were extremely high, keeping most visitors near their vehicles, park facilities, and shorter trails. On a typical day, one should plan to hike to Mesa Arch earlier in the morning or towards the evening to avoid crowds, although sunrise and sunset are popular times to visit.

Shafer Trail Part 2 - Canyonlands National Park - MOAB UTAH OFFROAD
See the first video here:
This is the Shafer Trail. It starts at the bottom of the Shafer Switchbacks in Canyonlands National Park near Moab, Utah. The trail exits the park onto BLM land and land owned by a potash processing plant. The trail goes past Thelma and Louise Point, which is where the scene was filmed for the movie Thelma and Louise where the two drive their car off a cliff into the Grand Canyon. The trail then goes past the colorful potash ponds that can be seen from Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park 1,000' above and several miles away. Finally the trail returns to pavement at the very end of Potash Road just outside Moab, Utah. This is an easy trail for a high clearance vehicle and the scenery is stunning. I hope you enjoy.
