The Painted Rocks is a book produced by the San Dieguito River Park which was out of print for a number of years, but was recently reprinted, thanks to a grant from the San Pasqual Band of Mission Indians, and the assistance of Diana Lindsay at Sunbelt Publications.
The book is an excellent resource for teachers and school age children who will learn about the Kumeyaay who lived in this area and expressed themselves through their rock art. The story unfolds as a young girl and her family who live in Rancho Bernardo begin to understand the rich history of the area and learn to become good stewards, helping to protect the heritage in her own backyar
