Alcove Gallery in Horseshoe Canyon

Alcove Gallery is located at the base of an enormous rock shelter along Barrier Creek in Horseshoe Canyon.

The main panel has a long panel of rock art representative of the Barrier Canyon Style (BCS).

As with the other rock art panels in Horseshoe Canyon, the motifs include many anthropomorphic and zoomorphic figures. (This panel also has extensive graffiti which dates back to the 1920s.)

A separate panel has a number of the typical Barrier Canyon Style anthropomorphic characters that have no arms or legs.
