That drainage is interesting because it is speculated that it may have been part of a migration route from the Maze to the La Sals in spring and back again in the fall. Part of an Anasazi highway system. There are Barrier style panels along the way, too. Oh, snap, what a great idea for a thru hike!

Oh, one of my trip reports from the late Fall may or may not have obliquely hinted at that area. 😉

There is an old cattle route into the canyon on the right side looking down canyon. From there you can walk down canyon past where Courthouse wash comes in on the left and then to the park road. Great hiking in the fall when the cottonwoods turn gold!
