That's a great find (or maybe you've always known they were there?!). The picture is excellent, and I like how it shows the surroundings. The horse pictures are a totally different look than ones I've seen. They're lovely.

I don't remember exactly when I first came across these, but it would've been some time in the mid-90's during the time that I was a ranger at this Ootah-ian Nat'l Park. What surprised me was that while site reports for several other nearby (within a mile or less) arch sites were on file, there was no mention of this one. Can't say that nobody else had ever seen them before me, but as easy as the place is to access, it isn't a place a typical park visitor would hike.

Similar examples exist, in Sego Canyon, in Westwater Canyon, and elsewhere all over Ootah. In SW Colorado, in Ute Mountain Tribal Park, there's even a depiction known to be of Chief Jack House of the Weminuche band of Utes that was painted in Mancos Canyon in the late 1800's.
