Like most petroglyphs or pictographs, The Great Gallery is best photographed under overcast or shady conditions. In September or October the panel will be in the shade after about 2:30PM.
Similar light conditions and moderate temps for hiking will also occur in the spring. The bonus of a fall trip is that you might just catch the cottowoods in the canyon turning a wonderfull shade of gold.
