Cave Rock

Cave Rock is a rock formation located within San Juan Capistrano. It is an iconic symbol of the city and is the unofficial logo of Capistrano Unified School District (USD). The rock is a landmark that has appeared in many Hollywood films.

This small but beautiful rock formation is located in the San Juan Capistrano area. It's a short hike to get there and you can even follow it down to the ocean if you're feeling up to it. The trail is very easy, anyone can do it, but beware of the heat in the summer months as this trail is exposed to the sun.

Cave Rock is part of a unique rock formation called "The Arroyo". The formation was created during the last Ice Age when the Santa Ana river carved out its course through the San Joaquin Hills.

The first inhabitants of San Juan Capistrano were the Acjachemen tribe who used Cave Rock for many generations as shelter from storms and from enemies. If you look closely, you'll see that Cave Rock has been worn away by centuries of wind and rain and that's what creates its arched entryway today.

Cave Rock is a rock formation located in the El Moro Canyon of San Juan Capistrano, Orange County, Southern California. The name "Cave Rock" comes from the cave-like appearance of the naturally carved out sandstone.

The rock is an example of a tafoni, a type of landform created by wind erosion. It is located on the grounds of the former Mission San Juan Capistrano, near an entrance to the former Mission Espada located across Ortega Highway.

Cave Rock is a unique geologic formation that stands out in the middle of a large grassy field. The rock is now declared public domain and is a popular tourist attraction. It's believed to be the result of prehistoric lava flows, but people often mistake it for an ancient ruin or "manmade" construction.

It was named after a cave dwelling that used to stand on top of the rock, which was inhabited by the Serrano Indians until they were forced off their land after the Spanish arrival in 1769.

The Rock is made of volcanic basalt and tuff and stands at 10 feet tall and 15 feet wide. It can be accessed via an iron stairway on its south side.

The rock has no official name, but it can be seen from Highway 74 between San Juan Capistrano and Laguna Beach. A picnic area with tables and grills is located nearby.
