Located along the old Butterfield Overland Despatch trail (BOD), the canyon is the site of an 1850s Native American attack on a wagon train bearing a threshing machine, is located in the wildlife area. In this historic canyon, you will find carvings dating back to the mid-1800s. A stone marker for the BOD trail can be seen along the highway near the Cedar Bluff dam.
