Rancor Cave is a new Nevada cave discovered on a ridgewalk in the Mormon Range. The cave has an interesting entrance — complete with the skeleton of a bighorn sheep that had clearly been consumed by something at the entrance. The tall, narrow entry with the bighorn skeleton made for quite the welcome when I walked in.

The passage has a nice red color to the walls and ceiling. I wish I had brought my proper camera to photograph the passages, but I will be returning for more. The cave shows promising continuation further in.
