Rock Art / Cave Paintings in Kern County, California. Tomo Kahni means “winter home” in Kawaiisu, and rock rings mark the locations of many of the kahni, or homes, that were built of juniper boughs. Hundreds of mortar holes in the park tell of a very active past. The tour also includes Medicine Cave, Nettle Springs and a cave with pictographs - a sacred place of the Kawaiisu.

Due to the extremely sensitive nature of the site, visitation is only permitted on a guided tour, which involves a moderately strenuous 3-hour hike.

Tomo Kahni State Historic Park.

Tours of the cave are available/ Reservations are required. [unfortunate pun not intended? - MegP Ed]

October Tours at Tehachapi Native American Village Site

California State Parks
Tehachapi, CA

California State Parks is taking reservations for the fall tour season at Tomo-Kahni State Historic Park in Tehachapi. Although no structures remain on this Kawaiisu Native American village site, the area’s rich history comes alive through the trained volunteer tour guides and the clues that the inhabitants left behind.

Tomo Kahni means “winter home” in Kawaiisu, and rock rings mark the locations of many of the kahni, or homes, that were built of juniper boughs. Hundreds of mortar holes in the park tell of a very active past. The tour also includes Medicine Cave, Nettle Springs and a cave with pictographs- a sacred place of the Kawaiisu.

Due to the extremely sensitive nature of the site, visitation is only permitted on a guided tour, which involves a moderately strenuous 3-hour hike.

Activities begin at 8:30 a.m. with an orientation at the Tehachapi Museum in Tehachapi and last approximately 4 hours, which includes travel time to and from the park (transportation is not provided). Adequate drinking water, sun protection, and sturdy walking shoes are necessary. Weather at the high-elevation park is variable, so layered clothing is recommended. Please note: those with heart conditions or breathing problems should not take this tour.

Tour fee is $5 for adults and $3 for children ages 6-16 (age 5 and under are free, but not recommended on tours). Tours are limited to 15 people and fill up fast so reservations are highly recommended, for an additional fee of $10 per party. To make a reservation or for more information, call (661) 946-6092 or email vog.ac.skrap@rotceS.evajoM.

[Note to Admin: Please correct location. Actual location of Park found to replace current location of administration building. Lat: 35.148, Long: -118.335]

In addition to the cave paintings, the State Park site includes settlement sites, mortars for food preparation carved into rock, and other prehistoric features. The park sites (including the cave) can only be visited in a guided hike. Due to the extreme weather conditions, the tours are only being offered in the fall and spring at this time.
