Rock-in Hollywood - Hiking Vasquez Rock

Vasquez Rocks
 Possibly the most iconic rocks in film and television, Vasquez Rocks have been featured in such movies as Star Trek, Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, Austin Powers and The Flintstones, and TV shows like The Lone Ranger, 24, and Numbers.  With its slanted slopes, the rocks make an ideal chance for the whole family to feel like expert mountain climbers and hike to the summit.  There are tons of smaller formations to explore as well; the park offers a full day's hike and plenty of adventure, as well as free parking and picnic areas!

It's A Wrap - Hollywood's Thrift Stop



Shoes from the big and small screens, for sale at Its A Wrap!
 Ever wanted to walk in your favorite celebrity's shoes?  Well, you can, literally.  It's A Wrap is a "thrift" store that sells clothing that has been previously used in movies and television.  Want to get an outfit from All My Children?  A prom dress you saw on Glee?  A suit from CSI?  All this and more is available at two locations in the Los Angeles area.  Items are marked by codes to let you know which production they came from with helpful charts on the walls to identify the show or movie.  Prices can be a little steap, but most items are one of a kind and have all been used in a film or television production!  In addition to the items for sale, Its a Wrap displays many famous movie and TV posters and costumes making it a fun spot for the serious collector or the Sunday window shopper.
