Toquima Cave, Archaeological cave in Lander County, United States.
The cave entrance stands within a basalt outcrop at Pete's Summit in Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, containing numerous ancient wall markings.
Native American inhabitants, known as Western Shoshone people, utilized this cave as a temporary residence between 1,500 and 3,000 years ago.
The cave walls display more than 300 petroglyphs created in red, yellow, white, and black colors, representing early Native American expressions.
Access to the protected site requires advance planning, as the entrance features steel grating and remains restricted to preserve its condition.
This archaeological site contains the largest collection of pictographs found within the Great Basin region of North America.
