From a parking spot, it is a 1/4 mile walk in a sandy, dry river bed. The real pleasure and sense of history starts at the mouth of the canyon. 1000 year old Native American Indian Petroglyphs start at eye level and continue up several hundred feet up the canyon wall.
We found out why the canyon was named what it was. A gigantic patch of wild grapevines running over a 100 feet long and stretching from canyon wall to canyon wall.
We saw hundreds of petroglyphs, and suspect there could be thousands of them.
A fantastic view of history. It just happens to be gorgeous!
Looking up the wash at the bottom of the canyon.
Note the boulder in front
This is a boulder in the bottom of the wash of
Grapevine Canyon. I guess it woud be about 20 tons.
Over time, the water and sand has polished it
to an incredibly smooth surface!
