[3] The smooth and irregularly shaped shallow sandstone cave contains numerous drawings apparently depicting the Chumash cosmology and other subjects created in mineral pigments[4] and other media over a long period ranging from about 200 up to possibly 1000 years or more.

There is also evidence of graffiti beginning with early white settlers, which eventually led to creation of a protective physical barrier and State Historic Park status.

The cave is adjacent to the left side of this narrow one-lane mountain road, with a slightly widened shoulder that provides parking for one or two vehicles.

The drive is not appropriate for trailers and RVs, due to some very tight turns and steep sections.

[6] This park is one of the few providing open access for viewing original rock art of the Chumash people in person.
