Abstract
The Vasquez Rocks of Agua Dulce and Santa Clarita, California, USA have become associated with other planets or dimensions since the 1960s, when the popular American television programme Star Trek used them as dramatic backdrops in three episodes, ‘Arena’, ‘The Alternative Factor’ and ‘Friday's Child’. Today they are a popular visitor attraction, but what is their geological background?
