Vasquez Rocks, located in the high desert near Agua Dulce, California, features 932 acres of amazing rock formations.
The rocks’ history began in prehistoric times when the sandstone rocks were uplifted, showing their jagged red features and later exposed by activity along the San Andreas Fault.
The Tataviam American Indians were living here when the Spanish arrived.
In 1874 Tiburcio Vasquez, one of California’s most notorious bandits, used these rocks to elude capture by law enforcement. His name has since been associated with this geologic feature.
The park is a popular hiking, picnicking, and equestrian area and has been used as a setting for key scenes in many movies, music videos, video games, television shows and commercials.
Movies and TV shows like Friends, CSI, Star Trek, Power Rangers, Roswell, The Bionic Woman, The Flintstones, Planet of the Apes, among many.
Music Videos such as, “Black or White” by Michael Jackson, “Rehab” by Rihanna, “Steal My Girl” by One Direction, “Resta in Ascolto” by Laura Pausini, among many.
An amazing place to visit!
