Temple Mountain…Old Uranium Mine District
Temple Mountain…Old Uranium Mine District
Temple Mountain is an old uranium mining district near Goblin Valley, Utah in the San Rafael Swell area. It’s one of my favorite places to explore in the area and look for radioactive rocks. The area has miles of old mining trails that are perfect for off-road exploring and camping. All of the mines in the area are sealed up or gated. Most of the mines are abandoned and offer an interesting look into the areas past.

Apparently things didn’t end well for the last iteration of humanity. All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again.
Prety sure uve answered this a thousand times,but could u tell me the make and model of ur uv flashlight?
Pretty familiar with the area in your video. My Father & Grandfather both mined uranium, the later mined in canyons that are now the bottom of Lake Powell.
This should definitely have more views… Stupid algorithm
Question, do you glow in the dark??????
Great drone footage and videography in general. The montage of camera angles capturing your hike up to the mine entrance was quite professional. Keep up the great work! All success to you in 2023 and beyond.
What a place!
I was hoping you’d drop a rock down that mine shaft.
I work in a uranium mine in south Australia using a different way then a conventional mine, we use a leaching process wish you could come out and document how we do it, it is a mind blowing way from drilling to sucking to refining it and packing it.
I kept noticing the hot pixels while you talked by the truck at night, was that just your camera or actual radiation hitting the pixels!?
This was Great from Start to finish!!! What is the name of the music that starts at the 11:30 mark of the video?
Very interesting!
9:04 Iβm distracted by a blinking white dot in the sky
One of the coolest things Iβve ever watched thank you sir
Absolutely stunning manβ¦this place, earth, is so beautiful. I find myself at a loss for words. Ty for putting this together ππ»
Great video chief. I explored a couple of the mines in buckhorn wash before they shut down. Iβm going to check out more of the swell come spring
Iran should be next
Them and their nuclear program
I’ve taken notes on the different places you have visited and wish to make trips to these places to camp and ride around the trails with quads or side by sides. Thanks
"no way into these mines"
bro, angle grinder.
It wouldβve been cool if you dropped a GoPro with a flashlight pointed in the same direction as the lens was filming down that mineshaft on a fishing line to see what was beneath the earth
Great video on the area. Growing up my parents would take us out in that area just about every weekend. And we were able to explore that 1st portal you looked at. There was not even a gate back then. And we found a lot of interesting things to look at. I don’t know if it was that portal or one of the other ones in that area (Been over 30 years at this point). But we found a blast pattern still loaded and ready to fire. Needless to say, we got out of there as fast as we could.
Also while in the Temple Mountain area we found some nice specimens of petrified wood that we decided to take home with us. And by setting a 35mm camera on top of the samples, we discovered that they were radioactive samples. Those ended up outside in the front garden after that.
Have you read up on The Nuclear Boyscout?
bottom midframe @11:34 there is a purple glowing circle highlighted in the UV light, is it a survey pin wonder?
And late to the party as always but I want to thank you for the videos and the time it takes to create them.
I really enjoyed your video! Learned a lot!
Radioactive drew what? What did it draw?
dude you need to dial down the audio on the beeping holy crap
How is it you are not growing a third eye or dead from poisoning when walking right up to radioactive deposits at 140k rads/sec?
Well done, this is terrific content, 10/10 π
Cut down on the useless time lapse & drone shots, 3 and half minutes worth from @11:47 alone. In a 20 min vid thats ridiculous.
What kind of camera was used to film this? The nighttime looks great on video
Awesome video ! We camp there every so often. Never thought about bringing a black light. Beautiful pictures. Back 30 years ago me and my sons used to go in some mines near Mercur. Brought out some very nice stalactites !
So is this where radioactive stuff glows green βmythβ comes from?
I have the Uranium Fever song stuck in my head from this π
If there was ever a video worth 2 likes (or 100x likes), this is it!
is this by green river?
Dude if this video doesn’t deserve a "like" idk what does…cool stuff, thanks for showing us around.
A bit too theatrical for me
I wonder how many unknowing hikers spent a might sleeping in a radioactive mine
The true origin of that incredible bomb. The dirt of Mother Earth
My guess to the layer with uranium and fossils: huge flood
U were smart not walking on those wood planks. An injury sustained in such a desolate unforgiving place could cost some1s life.
Drew–As much as I loved the photography and the subject (former Navy nuke), I seriously enjoyed the soundtrack you employed for this work. Is this something available out there for purchase?
Temples, uranium deposits and biiigg doors…. ππππΌ isn’t that suppose to be a secret
you got a dose for this vid
That’s super cool
I did learn and enjoy this documentary, however the sad music was annoying i had constantly mute it.
I was watching this and couldn’t help but notice white dots appearing on screen, starting at 7:35. is this perhaps gamma rays hitting the camera lens? Though unlikely it is my hypothesis.
How long was the mine in operation? With all the old wood structures, makes it seem much older than I would have figured uranium would have been sought.
Wonderful video and you have my heart aching to get back home to the desert. Please, I have to know, what type of camera were you using?
