Grapevine Canyon, Ancient petroglyphs site in Clark County, Nevada.

Grapevine Canyon is a canyon in the Bridge Canyon Wilderness Area and Spirit Mountain Wilderness, within Lake Mead National Recreation Area in Clark County, Nevada. It holds the Grapevine Canyon Petroglyphs and is reached from Nevada State Route 163 via Lower Grapevine Canyon Road. In non-drought years a fresh water spring runs through it, watering shrubs along its path.

The canyon lies in the Bridge Canyon and Spirit Mountain wilderness areas of Lake Mead National Recreation Area. It was used by the Mohave people, and the petroglyphs on its walls are evidence of that use; the site may have served as a ritual location and for summer solstice observations.

The petroglyphs at Grapevine Canyon are attributed to the Mohave people, who used the canyon and may have kept it as a ritual site and a place for summer solstice observations. The carvings are the evidence behind that attribution, so the rock faces themselves are the record of Mohave presence here.

The best time to visit is spring or fall when temperatures are mild and the seasonal stream may be flowing. Bring plenty of water and sturdy footwear to safely navigate the hiking trail and rocky terrain.

The canyon sits within both the Bridge Canyon Wilderness Area and the Spirit Mountain Wilderness, inside Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Its petroglyphs are cited as evidence that the Mohave people used the site, possibly as a ritual location and for summer solstice observations. In non-drought years a freshwater spring feeds shrubs along its path.
