Ruin Arch is located in the Buckhorn Draw area of the San Rafael Swell south of Price, Utah. The arch sits above Buckhorn Draw near a small ruin. On the inside of the arches abutment is an interesting petroglyph that looks like a ladderman. Other petroglyphs can also be found on the opposing back wall of the alcove. From the wash below the arch appears quite mediocre but the view while perched within its opening transforms its appearance and it becomes very special.

The Black Rock petroglyphs are located in Buckhorn Draw within the San Rafael Swell between Green River and Emery, Utah. The site is nothing more than a boulder covered with a black patina or varnish that has a few intriguing petroglyphs on it. We are making mention of the site because visitors to the area may otherwise drive right past it and the petroglyphs are interesting enough to take the 10-15 minutes of time to look at.
