Daytrip - Shooting Gallery Game Drive District

Click to Enlarge
This petroglyph site is situated on the east flank of Badger Mountain, west of Alamo Nevada and is an archaeological district rich in prehistoric rock art, hunting sites, and campsites. Studies of the area have shown that it was used as far back as 6,000 years ago, but, most intensively visited during the past 3,000 years, the site provides evidence that small groups of related households visited the area to hunt, gather wild plants, and to create rock art. The diversity of the rock art found in this area is amazing. As a matter of fact, the Shooting Gallery contains one of the largest concentrations of bighorn sheep figures in southeastern Nevada.
