Chumash Painted Cave State Historic Park reviews
9Don't understand why they didn't construct a 4 lane highway and giant parking lot at that magnificent site, so visitors can pull up with their gas gurglers right next to it. Don't even know how the Chumash should have gotten up there without proper parking, clearly must be a fake site.
The site itself was great but there was no parking whatsoever on a very narrow road. We parked in one of the turnouts so we would block the road. Along the sides of certain areas I believe it was poison oak. It had 3 leaves on one stem and no thorns so I believe it is poison oak. We played it safe either way and avoided it.
Exactly as described. How much you enjoy this depends on your level of interest in indigenous history. Very cool!
This is an amazing historical place. Is in the middle of no wherebut well worth the vissit
Hard to drive to. You’re on a two way road but room for only on car. Just got lucky I wasn’t in a bad spot when I met other cars going the other way. Still pretty crazy to see.
Very mysterious. Very nice. The road which leads to the cave is tricky and can be challenging. Google tried to get us there through a much longer route. However we took to shorter more challenging route and arrived safe. Just stay vigilant while driving there. The cave paintings were little but very delightful and mysterious. Our toddler loved it.
Use a jacket, it can be cold in the shade.
Peaceful and serene to meditate and prayer. Can be a Spiritual experience.
The cave is interesting, but it is gated locked. There is no parking, and the road up there is a narrow one lane road. Very small cave and a long drive to find. It's not worth the trip for me.
Great historical experience and awsome views of santa barbara on your way up just hope your not afraid of heights the road is a bit steep with sheer cliffs and switchbacks. But adds to the fun.
