Description
This is one of the most famous rocks in the Vasquez Rocks Natural Park. The park has 932 acres in the mountains of Sierra Pelona in the northern Los Angeles County, California. It is in Agua Dulce between the Antelope Valley and the Santa Clarita.
The rock formations were formed by rapid erosion during uplift about 25 million years ago and later exposed by activity along the San Andreas Fault.
The land and rock formations were acquired by the Los Angeles County government in the 1970.
The Vasquez Rocks consist mainly of coarse-grained conglomerate and breccia sediments which were deposited adjacent to active faults during rapid uplift and consequent erosion of the San Gabriel Mountains. Energetic erosion of the highland along with uplift and volcanism caused debris flow sediments to be distributed in alluvial fans into a rapidly subsiding rift known as the Soledad Basin.The strata are now highly tilted, are disconnected from their source area and are deformed and offset by the later fault activity.
This park was used and is still used for many scenes in the video film, advertising and music. Some films such as: Arena, Star Trek, Bonanza and many more....
