Courthouse Wash Pictographs

The Courthouse Wash Pictographs are a series of large pictographs created over a long period of time, located on a sheltered sandstone wall at the mouth of Courthouse Wash, Arches National Park in Grand County, Utah, United States, just north of Moab, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

[1] The series of images depict a variety of figures, many of them anthropomorphic and measuring up to 5 feet (1.5 m) in height.

The pictographs include painted figures resembling those found in Horseshoe Canyon in Canyonlands National Park, 35 miles (56 km) to the west.

Other figures, including those of animals, have been incised by removal of the rock's covering of desert varnish.

Figures mounted on horseback were created in historical times since the 16th century introduction of horses and are attributed to Navajo or Ute artists.
