Buckhorn Draw is a 9-mile-long scenic sandstone canyon located in the heart of the San Rafael Swell in central Utah. Serving as a primary northern gateway to the Swell near Castle Dale, the canyon is globally renowned for its prehistoric rock art and massive cliffs of Navajo and Wingate Sandstone. The area's most notable landmark is the Buckhorn Wash Pictograph Panel, a 150-foot-wide display of Barrier Canyon Style pictographs dating back over 2,000 years. Visitors to the draw can also discover an Early Jurassic dinosaur track preserved on a roadside ledge, explore the Little Grand Canyon at the Wedge Overlook, and visit a historic swinging bridge constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps. - AsNotedIn
