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]
Note: October tours of the Tehachapi Native American Village Site booking now, and see the link for more California Archaeology Month events
