As with petroglyphs, archaeologists aren’t quite sure how to interpret them but it is generally believed that Native American people, who may have been the ancestors to today’s Nevada tribes, created the drawings and carvings.
The cave is primarily accessible via a four-wheel drive dirt road that leads into the range from the Big Smoky Valley and continues to the adjacent Monitor Valley.
