Make sure you stop in the Visitor's Center for maps. There are live snakes, scorpions, and tarantulas behind glass on display so you can learn to ID them. There is a nice gift shop there as well.
[Buck Rogers, 10/27/2016]If you're in a hurry and don't have time to stop, the Vasquez Rocks can easily be seen on the west side of Highway 14, which runs between Santa Clarita and Palmdale.
[BR, 10/07/2011]In the early 1990s, we were able to tour the set of the Flintstones movie at this site.
[Annette Carter, 04/13/2010]This was also a hideout in the 1870's for the infamous California outlaw Tiburcio Vasquez...hence the name of the rocks!
