The Citadel Ancient Ruins Hiking Guide - Bears Ears National Monument - Southern Utah

Discover The Citadel, one of the most incredible Ancestral Puebloan ruins in Bears Ears National Monument, Utah. In this hiking guide, I take you along the canyon rim and down to the dramatic peninsula where The Citadel sits, sharing trail distances, parking options (2WD vs 4WD), and the powerful history behind this ancient, defensible site. Learn why Bears Ears is home to over 100,000 archaeological sites, what makes The Citadel unique, and why this sacred landscape is still deeply connected to Native American tribes today. 00:00 - Intro 0:42 Location info 0:56 The Citadel info 1:03 Parking/Hiking info 1:49 Starting hike 2:41 Ancient Ruins across the canyon 2:47 Bear Ears history - Drone video 3:50 Almost to Citadel 4:19 First glimpse 4:38 Descending into canyon 5:40 Walking across the only way into the Citadel 6:21 We see the ruins 6:35 Final obstacle! 7:05 Ancient Ruins & Citadel Meaning 9:09 Leaving the ruins 9:24 Bloopers 📷 See ALL our gear we use here: http://bit.ly/4gIGBiW Subscribe to our channel here: 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 ✅ http://bit.ly/4nDiSEf YouTube: ‪@RobandKassAdventures‬ Website: https://www.robandkassadventures.com/ Linktree: https://linktr.ee/RobandKassAdventures TikTok :   / robandkassadventures   Facebook:   / robertgodridge   Instagram:   / robandkassadventures   #thecitadel #bearsears #utah #ancientruins #utahhiking #bearsearsnationalmonument #cedarmesa
