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 photos of the Seven Sheep Area. For a detailed description of the route, including directions, maps, GPS coordinates, and photos, see Shooting Gallery. |
