Horseshoe Canyon

The largest and best panel of pictographs to be found in the Southwest is on the canyon walls of the Great Gallery located in Horseshoe Canyon in the western annex of Canyonlands National Park in Utah. These are some of the most impressive panels of ancient artwork in America. To protect the ancient artwork in Horseshoe Canyon, a small section of the remote canyon was added to Canyonlands National Park in 1971.
