More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A flat ribbon of hard-packed desert opens to sky and the sharp crack of gunfire — that’s the first impression at this outdoor range on the eastern edge of Las Vegas. Instructors move with quiet control, briefing groups and setting targets that explode in brief, dusty blooms; behind them the scrub of the Mojave and the Colorado River corridor push the sensory frame outward as the day unfolds.

Conservation
Shooting ranges concentrate lead and debris — follow provided pick‑up rules, avoid disturbing vegetation, and stay on designated ATV routes to protect fragile cryptobiotic soils.
