Horseshoe Canyon
Horseshoe Canyon
Petroglyph Panorama
Horseshoe Canyon is a remote section near Canyonlands National Park where visitors can see some of the best-preserved pictographs and petroglyphs in the U.S. The highlight of the ancient rock art is the ‘Great Gallery,’ a 200-foot long by 15-foot high panel featuring 20 life-size human figures.  The art dates back as far as 7000-9000 B.C., created by the Desert Archaic culture.

Remote Rambling
Ranger-led hikes to the Great Gallery are available on weekends. The moderately strenuous hike is 6.5 miles roundtrip with a 750-foot elevation change. The trail is well-marked but requires endurance and plenty of water for the three to six hour hike. Horseshoe Canyon can be reached from Hanksville, about thirty miles along a dirt road from Highway 24. A signed turnoff leads to Horseshoe Canyon and a four-wheel-drive vehicle is recommended.
