Geometric designs, images of lizards, snakes, mountain sheep, bear claws and human figures adorn the smooth canyon walls of the pass. While the precise age of these petroglyphs is not know, the agriculturally based Sevier-Fremont lived in the area over a thousand years ago. The petroglyphs here are thought to be the work of several cultural groups and represent a long period of use by Native cultures. The local Native Americans consider them to be an important part of their cultural history relating stories of their ancestor's lifeways.
