Hidden Wonders of Horseshoe Canyon Utah

on

Some say it's out in the middle of nowhere. And they're right, it is! But people have spent time here for literally thousands of years. I'm talking about Horseshoe Canyon in the South central Utah dessert. Cliffs and crags that run 90º straight up from the ground… and mysterious messages left by the ancients for us.

I made 3 mistakes in this video. As for location, I said it was the Northeast corner of Canyonlands National Park. I meant to say Northwest corner. Knew it. Just misspoke. Second, I called it the it the “Grand Gallery”. That’s technically wrong. It’s the GREAT Gallery. But my biggest mistake was a confusion of terms. Thanks to @lon6101 for straightening me out. Pictographs are painted on the rock. Petroglyphs are etched via a pecking technique. I can never keep them straight and you may have heard me hesitate a bit when I started to explain the difference in the video. Got it wrong there and didn’t want to lead you astray.
