This 945-acre park is located in the high desert near Agua Dulce Springs and
features spectacular rock formations, Tataviam Indian sites, and a seasonal stream.
The rocks’ history began in prehistoric times when the sandstone rocks were
uplifted at a picturesque angle, showing their jagged red features. Vasquez has
been a popular filming location used as a setting for scenes in many movies,
television shows and commercials.
Please note: There is no drinking water in the park.
