According to archeologists of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, the panel contains two elements of rock art representing three separate temporal and cultural periods dating in age from 1,000 years to as much as 8,000 years in age. In 2010 a fisherman defaced this panel with his name and was later sentenced to a $10,000 fine - slightly more than the cost to attempt to mitigate the damage.
Note: Glen Canyon Dam water release intended to improve ecology, mitigate errosion down stream. No impact to Canyon petroglyphs.
