A GALLERY OF THE PETROGLYPHS IN HORSEHOE CANYON
While Horseshoe Canyon is known primarily for it’s Barrier Canyon style pictographs, there are a few petroglyphs in the canyon. I found two small panels — one across from the High Gallery, where a talus slope meets the canyon wall, and another between Horseshoe Gallery and Handprint Alcove. The one across from High Gallery has a few big horn sheep and some abstract elements. This small panel is not on a patinized surface and the petroglyphs are hard to make out. The main element of the other small panel is easier to see, but is nothing extravagant. There are probably a lot more to be found in the canyon…perhaps another time! Here are the photos I took of the petroglyphs. To see my blog post covering the trip that includes my visit to Horseshoe Canyon, look here.
