Grapevine Canyon

About

High up Spirit Mountain, Grapevine Canyon is a beautiful example of the desert’s rugged landscape, filled with huge boulders and hidden oases where you’ll likely find the canyon’s namesake wild grapevines. What makes Grapevine Canyon truly unique are the 700+ petroglyphs that were etched into the granite boulders between 1100 and 1900, and the many rock shelters. Along with recognizable figures of people and animals are indecipherable glyphs, the creators of which still haven’t been determined, though the area was inhabited by the Mojave.
