I have seen these pictographs in photos and have wanted to them in person for a while. Last time I was down there, we hurried past and forgot to look for them.
Well Sunday I made a trip out to see if I could find the writings. The road through Buckhorn Wash was nice, a little mud and snow, but after passing the bridge the road became muddier. In one wash there was a least a foot of water. The Temple Mountain road had more snow then Buckhorn but not bad. When Temple Mountain was within view the roads were really getting muddy. All the mud and snow had slowed us down but when we arrived to the turn for the trailhead, it appeared only one other car had been through the snow. We plowed on in and after reaching the parking to turn around, I slid out of the ruts and stuck. We dug out and got turned around. We left and started our hike. The snow wasn’t bad to walk through.
Wild Horse Canyon
First Narrows
We hiked in maybe a mile before having to hike up near the canyon rim.
I wasn’t sure if the writings would be there but as we got closer, we could see some pictographs on the wall.
After taking some pictures it was back to my Suzuki.
Finally reaching the Suzuki, we had to dig some more to get moving out of the snow. With the snow packed roads behind us we made a short trip into Green River for a Ray’s Burger and then back home.

Hey, you’re still alive! 😀 I’m thinking about heading out that way this weekend, and it’s nice to see how the snow conditions are now. Hopefully it’s not too much muddier by the weekend. That rock art looks great–I’ll have to check it out sometime. I did Wild Horse with my family a couple of years ago, but forgot the coordinates to Wild Horse Window and wasn’t able to find it, so now I’ve got two reasons to go back. 🙂

With all the doggone snow we have gotten recently I am stuck indoors, fortunately there is the internet, thanks for giving me something to do. 🙂

Which trail head for Wild Horse Canyon did you park at? The one off of Temple Mt. Rd. or the one at the other end off of the road that heads south to Goblin Valley? The second one is the location for the relatively short walk to Wild Horse Window. But one sight I went to send it was a 4-mile hike into the canyon before you got to the pictographs.

I parked off of Temple Mountain Road. It was that long of a hike. I have also parked at the top of the canyon and hiked all the way through to the Temple Mountain Road, it is a nice hike.

How far is the hike to the pictographs?

Only about a mile in from the east entrance to Wild Horse Canyon off of the road heading south to the Goblin Valley entrance. See the map in my photo album at https://picasaweb.google.com/105301554048650237383/ReturnToWildHorseCanyon#5607547272767163330. You approach them by climbing a large sandy slope north of the canyon floor & right of the pictographs, then angle across relatively steep slickrock until you’re just below them.

Mark,
I may be going there next week so one last question. Once I have gone in the Goblin Vally entrance, how far should I drive in to the valley before I find the parking area?

After you leave Hwy 24 for Goblin Valley you drive straight west to a junction with the road that heads south (or left) to Goblin valley. You go no more than 1/3 to 1/2 mile to a couple of tracks leading to hillocks above the small washes the feed into White Horse Wash. Follow the bend or gooseneck left (south) until you hit the main wash & then head right to get to the narrows. The pictographs are high on the wall that is set back from the canyon floor after it turns south shortly after the narrows end. You have to climb the sediment in the corner of the bend first before working your way across the slickrock to the pictographs. Good luck.
