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