There are many other things for the non-shooters to do in Silver City and the surrounding area, so bring your significant other. There are over 50 art galleries in the area, numerous shops in the historic Bullard Street downtown area, two museums and nice parks. There are also several interesting day trips available, like the City of Rocks, the Cliff Dwellings, and the Cat Walk, to name a few.
