Overview The Shooting Gallery Petroglyph Site, located in a disjunct section of Basin and Range National Monument, is an area of desert-varnished volcanic boulders in a bowl-shaped mountain valley. Over the last 6,000 years, people stayed here seasonally flaking stones, building fires, breaking ceramic vessels, and etching the rocks with abstract and representational (e.g., bighorn sheep and human figures) images to record their stories. Presented here are photo of Rock Stories along the base of the cliffs south of the Side Canyon. For a detailed description of the route, including directions, maps, GPS coordinates, and photos, see Shooting Gallery. |
