Vasquez
Rocks County Park
If
you've seen Flintstones, the movie you will have seen Vasquez Rocks
in the backround. Flintstones is but one of dozens of movies, TV
specials and videos that were shot at Vasquez Rocks. In fact, a great number
of Westerns were filmed out there in the 'old days'. If you're ever in
Southern California, try to make it out here, it's simply breathtaking.
American Indians revered the rocks as being a deeply spiritual place.
Especially magnificent are the Sunrise Services that are held there every
Easter Sunday. Simply awesome.
Some
of the activities available to the public include:
*
Day
Camps where children learn about American Indians,
geology, birds, mammals, and crafts.
*
Marked
Nature Trails on which you can walk or horseback
ride.
*
Picnic
and Bar-be-que Areas.
*
Overnight Camping For Organizations Groups.
*
Interpretive Natural History Walks and Talks
Reservations must
be made at least one month in advance and can be geared to any age group.
The
park is open seven days a week, 8 A.M. until sundown.
