    so beautiful in the rainy morning
    Joleen K.

    We went here on a drizzly day. There's a really creepy vibe to it but it's really beautiful. I guess this used to be an old military base and they would have prisoners here. There was a man that worked here on the weekend and he was super friendly. When we went inside to look at the things that look like would be in a museum, he let us into specific rooms that were locked. We definitely have to go at a time when it's warmer.

    This is a nice California State Park along the route 5 highway when driving between Northern and Southern California. I recommend visiting either in the fall or spring, it is too hot in the summer and very cold and cloudy in the winter. It's a nice place to stop for a picnic lunch on a road trip and you have to pay a nominal fee to park (less than $10). I wish they rebuild the buildings from the original fort, the park ranger said they are planning to but haven't yet done it, so you just see fenced off areas where they say "This is where the fort's hospital used to be..." It's a nice place to learn about a part of California's history soon after it became an official US State. Sometimes they will even fire off the actual authentic cannon as well. The nature area is very nice and they have a campground as well. You can still here some highway noise though but a nice place to stop for a picnic lunch or quick visit on your road trip.

    Exercise before the long drive to Fresno.

    Our 2nd time here. We actually came here when the park was in operation during day time which let us explore the different houses and displays. We loved the historical site and it's a really peaceful place to come and hang out. There are lots of different houses to explore and see how they operated the fort. A neat historical place for kids located in a concealed part of the Taejon pass. Gave it a 4 because the bathrooms could really use some deep cleaning. Overall, great place to visit.

    Wonderful piece of history ,open to the public for no fee. You only have to pay six dollars for parking. I came here with a few friends and enjoyed walking the grounds and learning about this Army Fort from the 1850s.

    Lush greenery near the entrance.

    Another win for the Passport 2 History program! Yes, we've passed the sign for the park many times on the Grapevine, but never had time to stop. After reading about their living history days on their website, I knew they feature them once a month, plus 4th of July. One benefit of making a special trip, especially on a holiday, was the very light traffic en route to Ft. Tejon. Even with major road construction through Santa Clarita, we made the drive in record time. Once we arrived, we found a free parking place and checked in at the ranger station. They gave us a special brochure on the fort's history, plus a map of the grounds. A number of families were taking advantage of the special activities the staff and costumed volunteers had planned for the holiday. Have to give proper kudos to the many volunteers. Men dressed up in uniforms from the fort's heyday in the 1850's. That means scratchy wool coats in almost 90 degree heat! Women were in hoop skirts like Scarlet O'Hara in Gone With The Wind. Demonstrations throughout the day included candlemaking, Laundry Day-1850's Style, cooking over an indoor cook fire (versus an oven), blacksmithing, and carpentry. Family-oriented games taking place in the main gathering space looked like fun for the kids. The complex of buildings in the State Park property offer a glimpse into life in the pre-Civil War era. A large adobe houses a gift shop downstairs, with barracks upstairs. Many vintage uniforms hang inside, along with some swords and guns from the time frame of the fort. In the commanding officer's house we checked out the various rooms, outfitted with period furnishings. A costumed docent sat in the downstairs hall, demonstrating the intricate art of making bobbin lace. Fascinating! She was very sweet and informative. Nearby, two women were preparing a sample meal in the kitchen. It was quite warm outside, and hotter still in the kitchen with its open fireplace. I was so impressed with the dedication of the re-enactors, taking their 4th of July holiday to share their enthusiasm for bringing history to life for guests of the park. That alone is worth five stars. The peaceful grounds, with mountainous backdrop, and ancient oak trees, cast a spell of relaxation and historical magic. We agreed we were glad we made the journey to check out Fort Tejon's past. Highly recommend visiting on one of the living history days!

    If you travel through the grapevine frequently chances are that you've seen the sign for Fort Tejon State Park. You probably motored right by because you're either entering or leaving the Lebec grade and you're really not wanting to stop. Well on this latest trip we did stop. Fort Tejon is a former Army Post that was active for ten tears during the mid 1800s. Various restored building and original foundations are here like the camp jail, barracks, and officers' quarters. Most buildings have artifacts and military uniforms on display. We spent about an hour here on a hot summer day. If anything, the interpretive trail is great for stretching your legs on a long trip. - Deer just walking through this place. Chickens too. - Adults $3 - Kids $1 - Every season will its own unique experience. - Bathrooms

    Fort Tejon SHP is off I-5 South we stopped here on our way to Southern Calif. They have FREE parking out front, but they charge Per Person $3, no senior discount. You gotta bring exact amount because it's Self-Registration where you put your money in an envelope, take the top half & carry it with you, then put money envelope in the green post. We went when there were students there on an overnight stay I think. They got to wear the army uniforms & do taste around the old fort. We did the Self-Guded Trail Dragoon Walk which is like 1-2 miles. Saw: Officers' Quarters Kitchens & mess Halls Jail Guardhouse Junior Officers' Qtrs Peter Lebeck Grave some Wells It's worth a stop if you have 1-2hrs to look around. Hrs: 9am-4pm

    Came here yesterday to attend a Civil War Reenactment. I had never been to Fort Tejon before, but had seen the signs for it many times as I passed by on the Grapevine. This was really fun, and actually, I'd like to come back and camp there.... I loved the old historic-looking buildings standing in the middle of the yellow rolling hills. It really gave you a sense of history... and it was an amazing backdrop for the Civil War Battle and participants. I really felt like I had a Passport2History and was seeing what things might have looked like back in the day. Their water was really refreshing and tasted good (from the fountain), and there's a stream nearby and lots of different kinds of birds. In fact, a bird watching group went there for Audubon's birdathon and saw way more birds than I did elsewhere. I recommend this Historic Park ... especially during living history events! I cannot wait to come back next year for the event. Note: watch out for rattlesnakes and apparently prairie dogs that bite! Summer Hint: Freeze bottles of water overnight and bring to the site so you will have cold ice water too!

    $6 for parking but no per person entrance fee on a regular day. Living History re-enactment is the first Saturday of every month at 10am, and there is an entrance fee ($5 adult, $3 kids and under 7 is free). That has candle making, iron smithing and every other pioneering activity. Then the big festival is the Civil War Re-enactment, which is the first weekend in June of every year. Expect big crowd on that weekend, and RVers are just better off paying the $15 for camping since it takes care of the parking and entrance fee, and it has hookup and shore power but no dumping/sewage. Hope that helps, along with my pictures.

    Dragoon Walk. That's what they call their half mile self-guided tour that takes you through this historic park that used to be an old army post from 1854-1864. Dragoon is the name given to mounted infantry trained in horse riding. A few of my favorite spots were the soldier's barracks where you get to view displays featuring old military uniforms and various items from the 1800s, like playing cards and the medical equipment. Peter Le Beck's grave site was also interesting. He was buried under the 300 year old oak tree after being killed by a bear. His epitaph was carved a tree stump. You get to walk inside of a rebuilt jail cell. You can close the cell door and experience what it was like to be a prisoner. You also get to tour the former Gardiner home and appreciate a typical home of the 1800s. Outside there are live chickens kept in a pen. This park may not necessarily be enough of a destination to justify a dedicated visit but it's a perfect little pit stop if you're passing through the grapevine and you have an hour or two to burn. The park and the interpretive exhibits are open 9-4 daily. They ask that you pay $3 when you enter the park. There is also an overnight camping option for $125. That's not really my thing but I could see how it could be a lot of fun.

    My fiancé and I attended a "ghost walk" (essentially a tour of the place with some creepy stories thrown in) here a few days before Halloween. The flyer advertised the "retelling of the gruesome death of Peter Lebec by grisly bear"... And then went on to call it "a family fun adventure." Later that night as I stood in what used to be the soldiers' barracks watching an actor writhe on a table with an apparent knife wound to the chest scream in pain, as his comrade looked on in horror while crying out "DOCTOR! SHIT! WHERE'S THE GOD DAMNED DOCTOR?!", it occurred to me that I'd be writing that in my review, and that the first time I'd ever write a full curse word on yelp would be to recount an event that the flyer advertised as fun for the family. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Aside from the ghost walk event, this place also serves as a sort of post civil war history museum... So, the event did include a fair amount of trivia about the grounds. They had some really neat stuff like giant kettles of water heating over a wood fire pit in the middle of everything, and button ring making (woo!). The funny part about all of it, though, was the tour commentary; some choice tidbits including: - "Stuff like sanitation and Alcohol hadn't been invented in the 1860s." - "Back then, this whole area was mostly a dirt field because they didn't have lawn mowers." - "Bears are part shark." - "People used to die of dysentery, but not anymore." - "You had to bury people really fast in the olden days, otherwise their bodies would liquify all over the floor." Most of those are absolutely untrue. Except for the lawn mower bit (though I have a sneaking suspicion that wasn't exactly the reason they didn't have grass there)... and maybe the the part about the bear/shark thing. So, I mean, our tour guide might not have been completely abreast of all that is civil war era knowledge, but that's fine. In fact, it arguably made the experience more fun. But wait! It got even better when the "ghost of Peter Lebec" showed up from behind the tree that he may or may not be buried under (there's apparently been some debate), and told us his life story. Except, when pressed, he didn't know what tribe he was from, or his mother's name. He said he had only known her as "mother", and who am I to say if that was true or not? To be fair, and I don't think I'm giving anything away when I say this, the guy was only an actor... And kudos to him for staying in character even when he couldn't answer the completely irrelevant questions posed to him. Anyway, the point is, it was awesome. Absolutely terrific, even. In regards to the screaming man on the table in the barracks, well... I managed to watch with a blank, if wide eyed, stare. A toddler who, I'm assuming, was not yet quite observant enough to understand that this wasn't a real death scene, but rather a just for fun one, began to cry. That was when we were shuffled to the last room of the tour, told one final chilling story about how the very place we stood was a veritable breeding ground for paranormal activity, and then asked to please enjoy the bake sale, and complimentary coffee and hot chocolate. The fiancé and I had a very interesting and fun night, and I'd definitely go again, and with a lot more people.

    We had snow! Easy traffic from LA, parking was sufficient, park was clean with picnic benches and lots of room to run around.

However, if you're going to make a day of it, maybe a nice hike where this is your summit, then the views are good, although not the best I've seen from a Lookout. I'd bring a truck if you have one. The rough paved road is passable by most vehicles, but when it gets to the rough dirt/rock road you don't want to be sitting low or you'll have to drive very slow to save your car and your butt. I wish they hadn't built the new stuff right next to the tower as it kinda diminishes its existence and looks more like a crack house as opposed to a worn out and abused former lookout.

    This historic Forest Service lookout tower is located on top of Frazier Mountain (elevation 8,013…read morefeet). The mountain is named after Willian T. Frazier who was a miner in the 1850s. The site has been a lookout ever since 1905. The original building burned down in 1952 and was quickly replaced the same year by the current structure. The lookout was decommissioned in the 90s. The structure is abandoned and in pretty bad shape. I would use extreme caution if you decide to explore it. There's not much left to see. The lookout is surrounded by a number of tall communication towers. When you're done checking out the building you can hike the pine-covered mountain and take in the panoramic views. To get to the site take Interstate-5 and exit at Frazier Park Mountain Road. Drive west on Frazier Park Road about 5 miles through town. Turn left on Lockwood Valley Road. After another mile turn left at Frazier Mountain Road. From the Chucupate Ranger station drive 7 miles up a steep dirt road. You will encounter a number of signs that will point you in the right direction.

It opened in 1915 and was in use until 1968 after it was replaced by the 5 fwy. Much of the road runs through the Angeles National Forest and passes by many historical landmarks. It's interesting to read about it's history and to view some of the old ruins. One of it's more distinctive sections is Deadman's Curve, located at the base of the grapevine. The Ridge Route is also listed in the National Register of Historic Places. There two access points that allow you to drive along southern sections of the road. From Los Angeles head north on I-5 freeway. Exit at Castaic and take Parker Rd to the Ridge Route. This route only lets you experience a small portion of the road. It was blocked off after storm damage in 2005. I recommend continuing along 5 fwy north and exiting at Hwy 138 heading toward Lancaster. You'll pass a reservoir on the left and you will eventually see a sign for "Old Ridge Route" located on the right. This route provides some nice views of the area and also allows you to see some of the locations of the historic hotels. Sections of the road can be a little rocky since it's no longer maintained.

It is very remote and in places the one hundred year old road bed is covered with dirt and rocks from slides. Most of the people we saw were on touring type motorcycles, SUVs and trucks hauling bicycles, and a few off road enthusiasts. It is beautiful country to travel thru, everyone we saw was driving very carefully and respectfully. There was a huge locked gate after a while and we turned around and went back to 138. Then we went back south on I 5 to Templin highway east. After a few miles we hooked back onto the Ridge Route and followed it all the way into Castaic. The first section off of 138 was much more scenic and beautiful. We saw a few cars, but it is better to be in a vehicle with good ground clearance. In the bad spots there are very many sharp rocks, there is a need for good tires too. We had a great afternoon and were able to get away during this time, while still practicing the social distancing. Our trip was taken in a two wheel drive half ton Silverado, we had no trouble. I can see that if there was bad weather, this would not be a good road to be exploring.

    Review #851 2025-023…read more What goes up, must come down... right? I oddly reviewed "The Grapevine" I-5 North (refer to Review #247) but didn't comment on the south. LOL It's the return from my happy place where I frequently visit my aunt & uncle, especially meaningful after my parents passing. My son never had the opportunity to meet his great uncle, so he was especially doted on by my aunt. This last visit was to my cousin's, their youngest daughter & it was a very different road trip because my beloved aunt & uncle have joined my parents. I no longer have to pay tuition for my mahjong sessions (because I frequently lose to them), receive hugs & affection, enjoy delish home-cooked comfort foods & soups. I was intentional in my road trips to visit them after I settled in my work schedule; the I-5 South always brings a little heartache when I have to leave. I have yet to see snow until after my kids were born, & finally understood what my uncle meant about the perils of trying to drive through the mountain pass when the roads became icy. On this recent visit to my cousins, it was bittersweet because my Aunt & Uncle are no longer with us. (T-T) And we went up as a family of 4, & returned home as a family of 5, adopted a fur baby (her name is Snow, a Siamese mixed kitten) because my cousin & his wife are helping a family friend control the kitty population near her home by spaying/neutering the feral kittens & their mommas. I repeat what I wrote about its northbound: "Driving through the pass during the holidays can be a nightmare when traffic just stops; careless drivers may misjudge the steep downgrades & sharp turns as well as steep inclines leading to the many accidents on the I-5. And heavy rain or winds, & fog are major weather hazards. :-( But after a good season of rain, the hillsides are lush & bright with vegetation & wildflowers. =) When you're driving through The Grapevine during the winter, rainy months, be sure to check The I-5 weather advisory for any intermittent road closures or to add snow chains if you attempt to drive the pass. The only thing you can still be sure of... you have to yawn, chew gum, or suck on a lollipop to relieve the pressure on your ears." Whether you're coming or going... wish you happy & safe driving folks!

This National Monument has a visitors center, museum, gift shop, a beautiful walking trail with flowering plants and trees as well as a path with various cacti. In the warmer months it's easy to spot lizards and rabbits, as well as having year-round birds and squirrels. You can learn about civil rights, agricultural labor history, and how Cesar formed a Union that is still in existence today. The Park is located in Kern County (the southernmost county of the California agricultural belt) just 30 minutes east of Bakersfield, in the mountains below Tehachapi. It was the first location of the Union headquarters he formed, the United Farm Workers (UFW). His office has been preserved within the museum exactly how it was the day he passed away. Cesar, and his wife Helen, lived and are buried within the Monument (his dog is buried with them too!) in a beautiful and serene garden. Their house is on the property and was left the way Helen had it the day she passed away. There isn't access inside their home, but they do allow special events in their courtyard area that you'd need to inquire about. Entrance and parking are both free to the public, but you can make donations if you'd like. I love visiting this Monument a few times a year, as it's so peaceful and calming. We usually bring lunch and sit at one of the many picnic tables provided.

    Nice grounds, but kind of awkward to visit after recent events. Also, you couldn't really walk…read morearound the national monument with the private residence housing. The museum was nice though!

    Yikes, this is an expensive tour but it is a rarity to see a period house with most of the original…read moreoccupants furnishings etc. The tours are docent led and very informative. If you like these types of tours, this one is quite worth it.

    I came here for an event today so really my review is tailored more towards the events that Casa is…read moreholding but also to acknowledge the fabulous grounds and building though I admit I don't have full context for the history or background. I would definitely come back here to learn about the house and to take the guided tour. This wasn't the purpose for me coming today but the gentleman who works here noted that it's a great tour and I know friends who have enjoyed learning about the family and the history of the house, getting a deeper dive of information. I came here with some friends for their first hosted event Sound Bath. A wellness day if you will. From start to finish everything was very organized and thoughtful. The staff hosting the event and the spiritual wellness guide and sound healer was wonderful. Everyone was nice and you felt welcomed. Not pretentious and just very positive and good vibes. We had a nice group and everyone was respectful and on time for the sound bath so it went off without issue. It was a relaxing experience and the grounds were very nice to hold this outdoor event. The birds were chirping, the sun was shining, we found an area with shade, very nice. Very faint sounds of cars in the distance here and there which wasn't ideal but out of their control and once things settled in you really couldn't hear much external noise. After the relaxing sound bath we were offered tea and light pastry snacks. I opted for a water and began exploring the grounds instead of partaking in the refreshments. The grounds are lush and lovely, very zen. Loved the beautiful trees and walkways with small fountains and running water. It was green and pretty all around from the recent rains. Definitely a great location for events and to learn a little SB history. I will definitely do my research and come back again soon.
