What an incredible natural area! We spent half a day to explore the rocks and walk the trails. Amazing views when you can make your way to some of the highest spots. Definitely worth the visit even if you’re just passing through.

A stunning and breathtaking landscape, perfect for any photo session. The access to go to the rock is very easy and the multitude of path all around make it super fun to explore, even for little kids. There is so many option of background for photos, it's definitely one of my favorite place to take engagement photos.

I found out by chance, so I went hiking with my puppies, and it was a very good hiking road. First of all, the natural scenery was excellent and it was even considered phenomenal. I was able to go inside and park, but I blocked the words I went to, so the place to park the trailer was narrow. It was nice to be able to look around a place like this for free and it was a very useful time, I strongly recommend it.

Such a unique park with wild rock formations, along with some old history and legends to go along with them. The park has FREE admission and parking. Once parked, simply get out and explore! There are really no limits as to where you can go which leads to the adventure aspect. There are jagged rocks of all shapes, sizes, and various hiking paths all throughout the park.

Rocks pointing out the sky. Didn’t check scientific background but, definitely, it must be chaotic when it had happened there. No problem in parking. No entrance fee or parking fee. Restrooms are near around. Climbing the rocks is not hard. The trail around the rocks is recommended.

One of the United States' most recognizable movie and television backdrops is only a short drive away from Hollywood itself. People come here not just for the photo and hiking opportunities, but also to climb the rocks, film their music videos and recreate the most realistic fight sequence of all time. You may recognize this place from westerns such as Gunsmoke, Blazing Saddles and Westworld, but also Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, Austin Powers, The Flintstones and of course many Star Trek series and movies. Vasquez Rocks is more of a destination than a hiking location - in fact, you can drive straight up to the rocks and admire them without stepping out of a vehicle. However, we think this is a great location for a hike, and we recommend a loop trail around the park which starts out on the PCT and takes around 3.6 miles and 600 feet of elevation gain to complete. It provides not only panoramic views of the star attraction - the Vasquez Rocks spires - from all directions, but it reveals that the rest of the park's rocky outcroppings are a great supporting cast too. We have this route mapped out and available for download at Trailspotting.com Entry and parking is free. Be aware that the entrance gate and visitor center for Vasquez Rocks is closed on some Mondays and Tuesdays. We arrived on a Monday without knowing this and since the pedestrian trail is always open we parked on the roadside by the entrance and enjoyed a relatively quiet park experience. There are no apparent parking restrictions around the park entrance, though we can't vouch for this.

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.

Wow ,such a visual treat visiting Vasquez canyon . Driving within Santa Clarita through local roads via Sierra highway felt like driving in the countryside with ranch houses and exquisite skies in the evening peeking the mountains as I drove. We planned during sunset time to look these rocks and the experience is satisfying and amusing. Don't hesitate much and plan if you all want to visit here and I strongly recommend to visit during sunset to avoid heat temperature and ofcourse doing a trail is worth. I am so lucky to visit this place during Full moon where the moon looked beautiful in the rocks and is bigger. Watching the moon itself is a great feeling in the nature. If you are in Santa Clarita don't miss this place.

Easy drive. Easy hike and beautiful scenery for photos! The only thing you need to pay attention to is when they close parking. You don't want your car to be locked in when you try to leave.

4 words: "Out of this world!" I can see why some movie sets were taken place in this terrain. It absolutely has the desert, futuristic, and alien feel. I love how the rocks erupted out of the ground. The place wasn't quite as busy during the time we were there. Our children had a blast climbing the steepest rock. My only wish was that we brought better shoes. Regular shoes don't offer enough grip, so I highly recommend hiking shoes which makes for a much less strenious climb. All-in-all, an excellent place to do some rock climbing and take in the scenery.

Entry: free Parking: free and lots of spots in the dirt Roads: unpaved and rough I've been to the rocks at Joshua Tree and here. Honestly Vasquez is better and a fraction of the drive for most people in so Cal. Vasquez also let's you climb the rocks. The area is crawling with lots of animals like squirrels and possibly coyotes. People hike here or do photo shoots. Easy to access. Worth a visit especially if you want to see a filming location

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

It is a good place for rock climbing. All of my kiddos climb in the top. It is exciting. We definitely go back again.

The Vasquez Rocks Park is one of our favorite places to hike around in Southern California! The views are out of this world and you can choose how breezy or difficult your hike will be. The terrain inspires curiosity of what it would be like to stand on another planet. Pretty awesome to note that The Flintstones movie and many other films were shot onsite. The welcome center and museum is also a fun place to explore. If you are close to the area be sure to check out The Vasquez Rocks!

Step into the planet MARS, where the surrounding feels like you are in another planet. This iconic park is a must see, hike and walk around. The absolute best time to go is after it rains, the blue skies and clouds along with the rock formations make it a spectacular view. If you plan to climb up the rocks, make sure to wear proper hiking shoes, it can get a little slippery and make sure to hold on to something. If you make to the top, the views are stunning, I suggest to sit and let the time pass and enjoy the moment. There is plenty of parking when you enter the park and the end where the rock is location. There are also potter potties if you need to use the restrooms. Highly recommend this place!

Beautiful location! Used in many movies and TV series including the original Star Trek (as well as many of the newer Treks), the Wild, Wild West, Airwolf, and a multitude of others!

Absolutely stunning. Came here during my recent trip to LA. The natural structures that protrude from the earth's surface are simply amazing. Many different layers of rock and the multiple examples of erosion just make it a joy. The main parking area has a large rock structure to climb. It is steep at parts but if you are physically able to climb to the top I would highly recommend it. Very humbling and an awesome vantage point.

A great place to come and get away from the city life! Easy to find and easy to moderate hiking for the whole fam. It's absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. Such an amazing place to take gorgeous photos. There is so much to explore so each time you visit there's something new to find. If you haven't already been here. You should totally take a trip and see it for yourself. You'll thank me when you do:)

Perfect time of the year to go, everything is green and blooming. There's a decent amount of flowing water in the creeks and lots of lizards & rabbits.

We have a view of Vasquez Rocks and I never tire of it. As others have said, it's been in movies TV shows and seems there is filming going on much of the time. A great place to hike, explore, picnic and the small nature center is wonderful. Beautiful any time of year.

Amazing place cool spot in the front to cool off and get info about the area tons of trails and it's a movie star

Beautiful hiking area with amazing rocks
