    The Courthouse Wash Pictographs are a series of incredible pictographs (images painted onto the wall) by many different indigenous peoples of the course of centuries. This remarkable panel stretches along a 100-meter section of cliff side. The oldest images are somewhere between at least 1,500 and 4,000 years old, and are in the Barrier Canyon Style, a distinctive artistic form that is primarily found in the San Rafael Swell and Canyonlands National Park. Other carved images were likely added by the Fremont people in about 1000-1200 AD. The newest type of historical images on the panel depict people on horseback, and are attributed to the Navajos or Utes beginning in the 16th century. Unfortunately, although the Courthouse Wash Pictographs were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, this amazing site was vandalized in 1980. It has since been restored and protected by the National Park for you to enjoy and marvel at this part of ancient history.
