| Painted Rock is part of an outcrop area of Miocene-age cross-bedded marine sandstone (about 20 million years) that sits in isolation along the western side of the Carrizo Plain. Painted Rock is a large U-shaped amphitheater-like outcrop (about 55 feet high and 300 feet in circumference) with an east-facing alcove in its center. It is considered a significant archeological site in California. Painted Rock is located near the Goodwin Education Center accessible from Soda Lake Road. |
