mfrincu visited on 1st Mar 2014 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 5 The cave can be easily found following a paved road up hill towards some remote communities near the Pacific coast. The place is in a forest and there is room for a few cars to park. I liked the complexity of the artwork but disliked that contemporary humans had to ruin the site by spraying paint over some figures.

Chumash Painted Cave
Chumash Painted Cave submitted by mfrincu : Pictographs in the Chumash Painted Cave. Modern graffiti is easily recognizable. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Cave or Rock Shelter in The Southwest

The cave depicts pictographs representing the Chumash cosmology dating back 1000 years. Some studies have argued that among the drawings one can find a figure which may represent a solar eclipse that occurred on November 24, 1677. Access to the cave is restricted due to modern graffiti which can be easily seen. Pictures can be taken through the fence. It is located a short drive from Santa Barbara up hill. A small parking lot is available.
