vasques rocks印象

An amazing rock formation. Hiking for all levels. Usually quiet (with the exception being your visit coordinating with a youth group or a film set). Do watch for the snakes sunning themselves on the rocks -- my husband and sun were petrified when they saw a rattler.

This park is within walking distance of my home. I never get tired of hiking there as there are so many different trails. And you can always following the Pacific Crest Trail under the freeway and hike far beyond the park boundaries. And if you love playing on rocks, as I do, there are plenty of opportunities for this as well.

Besides breathtaking examples of the power of earthquakes in this geological park, you will recognize every future TV commercial that films here ( and they do frequently!) We took family from Massachusetts recently and they called when a COPD ad ran filmed at this unique location.

Vaseques Rocks has been an old time favorite hiking place. Not to mention in many movies you will recognize the famous rocks!

Decided to start our road trip with a day at Vasquez Rocks. My boyfriend is a fan of the original Star Trek series and has always mentioned he'd like to go. Since road trips are about checking things out, we put a pin in this location on our map and started off.We got there just as the park opened. It was a warm day but not bad at all. I'm not a hard core hiker but there were enough trails to suit my ability and speed. Most folks just drive down to the middle parking lot, climb the iconic rock structure and then leave. We hiked around for nearly 3 hours and had our picnic lunch at a table by the interpretive center. Didn't see snakes although we were told to be wary of them on some of the trails that a little longer. The map of trails that you can get at the center isn't exactly the best; it's more general guidelines but the park is small enough that you aren't going to get lost in the wilderness. At a couple of points you can see the freeway.The interpretive center is pretty neat and they do have some animals on display, including said snakes and spiders etc. A couple of the rangers on staff also rescue birds of prey and there are several birds you can see up close; for various reasons they can no longer take of themselves in the wild and are cared for by the staff and volunteers.I understand that one of the actors who was in Star Trek lives in the area and occasionally does tours. If this is the case, we'll have to sign up for the tour. We will definitely be back. Boyfriend is already planning a spring trip for next year.

Once you go you'll start to see it all over the TV. These rocks are in tons of movies, music videos and commercials. Beautiful formations! It can be HOT here though so bring water!

Vasquez Rocks are a very familiar sight when watching old westerns and even some non westerns like Blazing saddles and the flintstones movie. It is Free to get in. Be sure to bring water when you hike the area. You can get here at the agua dulce exit from the 14 fwy between Santa Clarita and Palmdale.

Nice, easy hiking in the winter. Good for children and families. Picnic tables and a portapottie as well as a nature center (which I confess I did not visit as I live locally). Very crowded on weekends and too hot in the summer but great on cooler days.

These rock formations have been the back drop for numerous movies throughout the years. Worth a visit to climb around.
