You're telling us an antelope built this canyon?! (Thanks for watching, everyone, and Happy Earth Week!)

I am not sure how to take this question.

I always appreciate when these videos highlight the indigenous perspectives! Thank you to everyone who helped make this one happen.

Yes, I agree 💯 ☺️

For reference that bolder at 0:50 is no longer there.

This place is so magical. I wish everyone to experience it at least once. It's like visit what i would image another world. Pictures do not do justice to how it looks and feels, in person.

I visited as a child. We often lived in western deserts, and the flash floods always terrified us. When you see those black clouds forming you need to get out of the canyons and dry-washes. It doesn't always flood, but they are violent.

I grew up in the south west. I remember the majestic thunderstorms. It was so hot & dry all year, but when the monsoon arrived. Oh, it was so beautiful & refreshing. To this day, I absolutely love rain & thunderstorms 💕 Better than a snow day imo ☺️

… I grew up in southwest also, and the smell of the desert after the rains is hard to explain, but I love it!

Got to go here 2 years ago, it was an amazing experience. I'm not religious, but I felt like I was having a spiritual experience while walking through this canyon. I highly recommend going if you get the chance, it's worth the price of admission.

The slot canyons are absolutely gorgeous!! Definitely a must for anyone that enjoys backpacking. But be careful, people who get caught in them during a flashflood don't stand a chance.

this kind of landscape is essentially what would be at the bottom of the strid. its effectively a permanent version of the same type of water flow dynamics we see here in antelope canyon. the only reason this place isnt a death trap is due to the seasonality of the flows

@dj33036

It has been a death trap in the past. People have died there.

I saw a video about a river in Europe that traveled through an area called The Strid and I wonder if it looks similar to this under the water.

wow what a knowledgeable personable professor. would love to take a geology class from him

That’s one of the most beautiful and unique places on Earth.❤️🤗🐝

My amazing tour through here was almost canceled, as no tours when any chance of a flash flood through the canyon. The guide was awesome and knew all the best photo spots to catch sunlight reflecting from the surface down to the floor where we walked through it and back to the bus

Forget churches, temples, and cathedrals. This is where you feel closest to your God

Keep in mind that slot canyons can be VERY dangerous places to visit especially during the 'monsoon' season when distant T-storms can cause flash flooding. BE SAFE!

great video, happy Earth month!

Love this 💕 And how indigenous people's teachings & beliefs are interwoven. Thank you so much for sharing all your well rounded knowledge PBS Terra 💕 It's all connected 😉

Thanks for the shout-out! We learned so much from this video 😲

There was a time about 20 years ago on a January day Evelyn and I and a guide had this place to ourselves.

There are a ton of these in the US state of New Mexico, including ones carved from white volcanic tuff, such as the Kasha-Katuwe slot canyon.

Every inch of earth is constantly being changed by erosion and deposition, not just this slot canyon.

Huwaaa a new pbs tera vid just dropped?! :0

In shadows deep where phantoms creep, neath moon’s pale gaze, a sorrowed sweep, A raven calls, it’s echo falls, Through ancient halls and silent walls.

The name supposedly comes from how they would hunt the antelope. The Native Americans would chase the antelope across the mesa above the canyon and the ones that fell in would become dinner.

is the slot canyon a type of Wadi?

@pauldickman4379

Ай бұрын

Googling says yes, definiton of Wadi is a valley, ravine, or channel that is dry except in the rainy season.

I went during the season when it was full of caterpillars. Lol I went before ig existed not even a myspace. 🤔 Cool area!

Why its called antelope

@SpottedHares

Ай бұрын

Their used to be Prong Horned Antelope throughout the area, but once they were driven out by the people living there due to competition with their heard. If you lucky you can see them south in the Coconino forest.

@melaniespencer3095

No more Antelope due to climate change, but there are deer and elk in those canyons.

Had to stop watching due to the loud orchestra modulating with the lower voices.

The wise part in all of us exhorts that what are reducible to coping mechanisms, not be shoehorned into science. Superstitions always tempt with their superficiality, cognitive fluency, and ease of answers. Anathema to science on all counts.

So thats why all my graffiti keeps disappearing!

These guys are charging $50 per person to visit this place. Thats $200 for a family of four. Considering that a National Park is usually only $25 for the entire car group, I'd say that price blows.... We drove up to Page but just walked away when the told us the price... They're just sitting out there in the desert under a canvas roof with a huge pile of money sitting on a folding table. They're also charging a fee to see Horseshoe Bend which should be free because it's part of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. They own the sliver of land between the road and the river, so you can only access it through their parking area. If you try to park on the road and walk in you'll get fined. At least the parking is only $10... As far as I'm concerned, they're a bunch scoundrels. I've already been back to visit the Grand Canyon again, but I'll never go back to Page.

Would you whine like this about paying to see the Taj Mahal? God forbid they actually get paid to take you into a sacred space and keeping you safe from flash floods. You can afford it, you probably live on land that was cultivated for 10,000 years by indigenous people, before they got marched at gunpoint into reservations.

Can't blame them with all the vandalism, littering and disrespectful behavior going on. The money goes to a good cause and probably filters out the more disrespectful crowd. Well, hopefully.
