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.

Vasquez Rocks was added to the national registry of historic places; as site #72000228 in 1972 because of its significance as a prehistoric site.
The distinctive hogback ridges of steeply inclined rock, graphically demonstrate the significant earthquake fault activity in the area. These rock formations were formed by rapid erosion during an uplift about 25 million years ago; and later exposed by
activity along the San Andreas Fault.
The historic Tataviam people were living here when the Spanish arrived, living in grass huts in villages. The last of the Tataviam died in 1916. Many animal fossils have been found, including camels, horses and rodents.
Vasquez Rocks has been used repeatedly in movies, television series, and commercials, like The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin (1964), The Outer Limits (1963), Bonanza episodes, Michael Jackson's music video Black or White, several Star Trek episodes, Dante's Peak movie, Blazing Saddles, Star Trek V, The Fugitive, plus commercials for Taco Bell, Bank of America, Pacific Bell, Pepsi and Nike.

Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park is a 932-acre (377-hectare) park located in the Sierra Pelona Mountains in northern Los Angeles County, California. It is located in the town of Agua Dulce, between the suburbs of Santa Clarita and Palmdale. The area is also visible from the Antelope Valley Freeway (State Route 14).
In 1935, Universal Pictures assigned Stanley Bergerman as executive producer on the film Werewolf of London. Bergerman suggested Vasquez Rocks as the filming location used to portray Tibet. Since then, its location inside the Thirty-mile studio zone has ensured Vasquez Rocks' repeated usage in motion pictures, television series, and advertising.

Vasquez Rocks County Park | Los Angeles County | California | 28 March 2010
A short late-afternoon hike in Vasquez Rocks County Park, Los Angeles County, California, 28 March 2010. Hiking through steeply-dipping sandstone, I ponder the significance of chunks of granite and mudstone found in the sandstone.
The rocks over which I am walking in this video, belong to the Vasquez formation. The Vasquez formation is composed of a variety of rock types (lithologies) including sedimentary and volcanic rocks. Vasquez formation rocks mostly date from the Oligocene Epoch (about 37 to 25 million years ago), which is contrary to the information I discuss in the video. (In the video I identify the age of the rocks as Miocene Epoch, which is true only for the upper layers of the Vasquez formation.)
Vasquez Rocks County Park and its surrounding area are depicted on the USGS topographic quadrangle titled AGUA DULCE, CA. Of course, Vasquez Rocks County Park can also be found on Google Maps, Google Earth and other online sources of geographic data.
Geologic information about this area can be found in the Thomas Dibblee Foundation map titled 'AGUA DULCE, CA' and references therein.
If you visit Vazquez Rocks in the spring time, watch out for rattlesnakes. They live here and spring is when the become active.

Vasquez Rocks
Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park is a 905-acre (3 km²) northern Los Angeles County, California, USA park acquired by the Los Angeles County government in the 1970s. It is in the Agua Dulce vicinity between the Antelope Valley and the Santa Clarita Valley just north of Los Angeles and can be seen easily by motorists driving the Antelope Valley Freeway (CA 14).
Vasquez Rocks have been used innumerable times in motion pictures, various television series and in moving and still photography advertisements, and continue to be used in them today. The triangular rock summit can be clearly seen in, for example, an Outer Limits episode called The Zanti Misfits, in Arena, an original series Star Trek episode where Captain Kirk rolls a boulder onto an alien of reptiloid origin called a Gorn, and throughout a Bonanza episode called Between Heaven and Earth. The prominent rock formation has been nicknamed Kirk's Rock due to being featured in several Star Trek episodes, each time representing a different planet.[3] The Vasquez Rocks were also used prominently throughout all three seasons of the science-fiction television series Roswell as something of an important location for the main characters and their story. The area is also featured as the location of the command center for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers until the late 1990s.

Bedrock! Flintstones Movie Set, Agua Dulce, California
I love the Flintstones! So, several years ago when I read in our local newspaper that the 1994 'modern stoneage family movie set,' in Agua Dulce, California was packing up, I called my friend and we zipped right over. And just in the nick of time as they were in the process of tearing down the set. For the kid inside of me, visiting Bedrock was a dream come true. Hope you enjoy the pics in this video!
