Hiking LA- Vasquez Rocks


The day before leaving Coronado, we hadn't made reservations for our next campground. Our only real requirement was that it was a safe area within a reasonable driving distance from downtown Los Angeles. It happened to be a holiday weekend, so we were lucky to find a site at the Californian RV Resort in Acton. Upon arrival I began checking nearby opportunities. Vasquez Rocks came up as one of TripAdvisor's top recommendations, a hiking area that we had previously heard about from our friends.


It sits along the San Andreas Fault and the resulting rock formations have made this a popular filming location for movies, television, music videos and advertising. Film credits include The Flintstones, Planet of the Apes, Star Trek, Roswell, New Girl, 24, NCIS, and Michael Jackson's "Black or White" video.


This was a fabulous wonderland for us to explore!






Climbing down the crack. This is much steeper than it appears.


Happy girl, in her element.




Journey opted to wait at the bottom while Asher and Daddy 
climbed to the top of this section. See them at the very top?
