About

The Cameo Shooting and Education Complex in Palisade, Colorado, serves as a wildlife viewing area within a larger 2,500+ acre facility managed by Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Located a few miles east of Grand Junction at exit 45 off Interstate 70, the site features rugged terrain that conceals trap shooting launchers for sporting clays. Visitors can observe local wildlife, including deer, rabbits, and birds, while utilizing the complex's amenities. The area offers parking and is pet-friendly. The moderate difficulty and typical two-hour duration align with its function as an accessible outdoor destination. The facility is open year-round, with specific hours varying by season: summer hours run from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. (March 15 to October 14), while winter hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (October 15 to March 14).
