This route is exposed and can be hot; carry water and start early.
### Option C2 — Vasquez Rocks + Point Vicente · two landscapes in one day
### Selected route — Vasquez Rocks + Point Vicente
Yes—this is feasible and avoids all of the group's planned sights. Approximately 128 miles total from Brand Plaza via Vasquez Rocks and Point Vicente to LAX; about 3 hours of baseline driving. It is a better use of the car than either stop alone if LK is content to meet the group for dinner rather than the afternoon.
This avoids the group's planned Malibu sights and keeps LK's luggage secure at the hotel during the first stop.

Start at Vasquez Rocks and finish at Point Vicente: the desert is cooler early, and the coast is better later in the day. Avoid the closed Abalone Cove and Sacred Cove access trails.
Forecast checked 2026-09-25: around **87°F / 31°C** at Vasquez Rocks on Saturday. Carry water; the interpretive-center fountain is available only during business hours. Avoid the closed Abalone Cove and Sacred Cove access trails.
