Lonely Planet review

This small state park, open from dawn till dusk, is mostly visited for its cave, which has vivid pictographs painted by the Chumash about 200 years ago. The cave is protected by a metal screen, so a flashlight is helpful for a good view.

The park entrance is marked only by a small brown and yellow sign and is easy to miss; look for cars parked on both sides of the road.
