Fallon Attractions
Some have called the city of Fallon the "Oasis of Nevada" and with good reason. Lush farms and ranches surround the city courtesy of the Carson and Truckee river diversions. Fans of the movie Topgun may want to stop by Fallon as the training grounds for the air force pilots, NAS, is located nearby and fighter jets frequently streak across the sky.

Grimes Point Archeological Site
The Grimes Point Archaeological Site near the interesting town of Fallon is a great spot to view petroglyphs. The Native Indians used these rocks to carve interesting figures approximately 6000 years ago. The Grimes Point Archaeological Site also features an ancient storage cave that is well worth a look. A self-guiding trail takes visitors from attraction to attraction as points of interest are marked.
