Leave No Trace
Always be aware of local fire bans when camping in California. Try to travel or camp on hard, durable surfaces like dry dirt, gravel or sand. You should also strive to respect your fellow campers as well as the wildlife. Avoid damaging any trees or flora, and leave natural objects like wood, antlers or moss where you found them. Practice "the "Leave No Trace" principles at all times. At Painted Rock, make sure not to touch or walk on any part of the rock, and keep in mind that commercial photography is not permitted there.
