Vasquez Rocks Natural Area and Nature Center

We did the short Nature Heritage trail. It is a bit hard to follow because people have created several smaller trails, so you have to pay attention, but it really isn't that bad since there are several markers. The rock formations are gorgeous. We discovered that it's easier to climb to the top of the rock formations near the access road from the rear and not from the side that faces the gift shop and museum. It's a vigorous climb up but it's safe enough because the rocks aren't very crumbly. The view from the top is breathtaking. We saw a hawk fly closely above us. Just beautiful. The gift shop is very small but has some jewelry and clothing among movie related knick knacks. There's a good amount of parking available.

I love the Vazquez Rocks so much! It's a good place for hiking on a trail and seeing the popular filming locations! Many movies were filmed here like Blazing Saddles, Joe Dirt, The Flintstones, Jingle All The Way, Star Trek films, as well as the TV shows and music videos like Michael Jackson's Black or White. Even the rock formations were unique and different. You can learn more information about Vazquez Rocks in the Interpretive Center.

Had to make the Trekkie Pilgrimage to these hallowed grounds. Went with an awesome hiking group that took us around the many winding trails surrounding the iconic rocks. I highly recommend people branch off from the main rocks and enjoy the hiking trails with the disclaimer that the trail branches off in many ways and it can be easy to get lost

This review is for Vasquez Rocks Trail which was a ~3.3 miles round trip that took ~1.5 hours to complete. Trail was wide for the most part with some narrow sections. A few steep inclines throughout the trail. Follow the trail posts! Stunning views from beginning to end! Free parking inside the park or outside on the street. If you're lazy to walk a short distance to the rocks, you can actually park next to the rocks. Short video of the hike for those interested! https://youtu.be/LV29ErBaZUM

Stunningly beautiful and so easy to reach from Los Angles. It is a county park, but it will impress you more than many National Parks! No wonder it has been featured in countless Hollywood movie and tv productions. Parking and admission is free and there is a splendid visitor center on site. This place is special.

Vasquez Rocks is featured in so many movies in Hollywood for a reason, it is breathtaking to view the rock formations that surround you from the plates shifting below. The jagged edges pointing at an angle to the sky is just amazing. It does look like another planet. There are some Petroglyphs on some of the rocks, but be careful for the fake ones.

I found out about this area on my way from Vegas to Six Flags and it’s pretty interesting.A lot of easy trails and some rock climbing for the kids.Beautiful scenery and quite green in March.Free county park

Beautiful features. Majestic really and other worldly. You get why movies and TV shows get filmed here immediately. The walk to the main rock feature is not difficult nor any walking trail i went down. You can make it difficult by climbing the rocks. Free, close and really cool place. Recommended
