  • Visitors to the Buckhorn Wash panel enjoy viewing one of the most spectacular examples of Barrier Canyon style rock art. The ghostly red figures here stand watch over the San Rafael River. The site includes both painted (Pictographs) and pecked (Petroglyph) prehistoric images.
    This stunning panel of pictographs was once covered in graffiti, but in 1995 a team of talented people did their best to repair it. Bullet holes and gouges were filled to match the sandstone, paint, charcoal, crayon, and chalk were removed with special erasers and jewelers' tools, and scraped and chiseled areas were disguised with watercolors and pastels.

    The rock art is magnificent, Roxy, as is the landscape in which it is located. And the fall foliage is absolutely lovely. Many thanks for sharing. 👍❤

      Such a beautiful place. Actually being at these sites is totally different from just looking at them on a screen, of course. I wish I could capture the feel and the scents. Who knows, maybe one day technology will allow that. 😁

    Hi Roxy! This is the Michele you met in Bears Ears last weekend. Thanks for directing us to that trailhead. What an amazing site! That was the highlight of our trip. You have a great UA-cam channel. Rick and I love it! Thanks for sharing. 😊

      Oh, thanks for the super thanks, and I'm so glad you enjoyed the hike, such a special place. Check out the Bears Ears playlist for more ideas next time you visit the area. It was fun to meet you, I always meet the nicest folks in the middle of nowhere!

    Morning thank you for the lovely tour of those panels- pictographs-petroglyphs , the care taken to restore them after being vandalized is quite remarkable
    I was curious how the name Head of Sinbad came about so I looked it up.. a lot of speculation .. trivia

      Yes, nobody really knows much about the glyphs. Some research on some, in some places, has found that certain things align with the the stars, and the solstice, and one in Southern Arizona somewhere actually turned out to be a map of the river, as viewed from the sky, like Google Earth would do. One has to wonder how they got it so accurate. Lots of speculation indeed. Fascinating stuff.

    This is a nice panel and easily accessible, but if you don’t mind hiking, there are some spectacular panels nearby with no other visitors.

      Thanks for sharing that info. I've visited other places around there, and love hiking to them..I've learned I can only share so many petroglyph and pictograph videos before my viewers start to lose interest in my channel, so I have to vary it a bit. Lol. I just did one on 9-mile Cyn, I may return another year. Do you have any areas in particular I should go and seek, or research first, any suggestions? I hope you check out the rest of my channel, and see my hiking videos and other stuff. 🙏🙏

      @@AdventureNomadforNature I agree. There are so many hikes to amazing panels. My all time favorite is also a popular and well visited one. The Great Gallery absolutely blew me away when I visited it a couple of decades ago.

    The Wave is overrated. It has become a hipster destination.

      I'm guessing you are commenting on my header picture, not this video, so yes, many places have become like that, but it's still very beautiful. I was lucky to I go before they increased the numbers allowed, and also it had snowed that morning, and there were only three of us there. I was very lucky indeed. Some of my videos go to places few know of, and I don't say where they are, or share on All Trails, I hope you manage to find my videos of these places, most in the Utah Playlist.
