Courthouse Wash Pictographs
Courthouse Wash Pictographs, Ancient rock art site near Moab, United States.
The Courthouse Wash Pictographs extend across a 100-meter sandstone cliff base, displaying figures measuring up to 5 feet in height.
The original Barrier Canyon style paintings at the site date from 4,000 years ago, with additional figures added by different groups through the centuries.
The rock wall contains paintings from multiple Native American groups, including Archaic Indians, ancestral Puebloans, and Ute people.
Visitors can reach the pictographs through a 0.8-mile round trip hike from the parking area, with an elevation change of 60 feet.
Infrared photography research in 2008 revealed previously invisible figures beneath the surface, providing new data about the painting sequence.
