Just a short distance (a few hundred feet) off the main Delicate Arch trail is an beautiful panel of petroglyphs (images chipped into the rock rather than painted onto it). This particular panel depicts figures on horseback, which helps historians date it to 1650s, the approximate time that Indigenous groups in this area acquired horses. More specifically, because of the riders on horseback, historians believe that this panel depicts the Ute people because there were quick to adopt the animals after the Spanish reintroduced them to North America. This amazing piece of Indigenous art and history is a must see if doing the Delicate Arch Trail!

Interesting rock engravings of the Ute people. A small, rewarding detour from the trail to the Delicate Arch.
