Primarily a Barrier Canyon Style panel, there are a few later petroglyphs of Fremont culture origin as well.

The route up Buckhorn Draw was part of the Old Spanish Trail. As a result of the relatively large number of people passing by, the panel was repeatedly vandalized and marked with graffiti over the years. In 1996 the State of Utah restored the panel as part of the state's centennial celebration.
