Vasquez rocks was named after a bandit who use to hide out in the rock formations many years ago. Once he was finally captured, he was put on trial and hanged for his crimes. Vasquez Rocks is also the location of hundreds of film including Star Trek (with the biggest rock formation being named after Captain Kirk), CSI, The Flinstones, Holes and many many more. Pretty fun huh! We only walked around for about an hour and then headed back toward home for some yummy Pico Rico Dinner. But the kids had so much fun, that I'm sure we'll be out there again in the years to come. It's a great family outing.
We were hoping to see some good desert wildlife, but no such luck. Not even a lizard to snap a photo of.

That's where our high school graduations were held. I am impressed you were able to endure the heat in jeans!! Sounds like a great family outing.
It was early evening and not real hot outside. It was perfect actually. We got lucky!
Yes, you did. Way cool.
