Grapevine Canyon is located in the Bridge Canyon Wilderness Area [1] and the Spirit Mountain Wilderness within Lake Mead National Recreation Area. [2] The canyon contains the Grapevine Canyon Petroglyphs and is accessible from Nevada State Route 163 which leads to Lower Grapevine Canyon Road. [3] [4] During non-drought years, the canyon contains a fresh water spring. The spring provides water for shrubbery along its path. [5]
While it was used by the Mohave people, the canyon may have served as a ritual location and for summer solstice observations. [3] [6] [7] Various petroglyphs serve as evidence of use by the Mohave people [5]
