My family (which includes 2 avid Trekkers) will be visiting California in August. I'd like to visit that wierd rock formation Kirk fought Lazarus on in TOS (actually I think it appeared in several episodes). Can anyone tell me its name/location?

Remember to take along some large, irregular chunks of styrofoam painted light brown, so you can reenact your favorite scenes.

Yeah, but that before you decided to go to California. Admit it.

Well, that formation was practically in every western ever made, and every sci-fi TV show ("The Zanti Misfits" landed there in The Outer Limits, for instance).

Go on Harbor Dr, merge on the I-5 North, then Highway 14, Agua Dulce Canyon Rd exit, turn left on Escondido Canyon Rd. 2 hours, 37 minutes. 163 miles. Bet I can do it in 2 hours and 34 minutes.

Here's a listing of other Trek and Non-Trek movies that film in locations in Southern California - though most simply list Paramount Studios, there are other locations as well.

I live near Starfleet Headquarters... I mean the Tillman Plant in Van Nuys. I've visited Vasquez Rocks also. I am also going to visit the sets of Enterprise since I have a connection to a Paramount Studios Senior VP.

I just saw the Tillman Plant get blown up on Alias.
