We hiked grapevine canyon and were lucky enough to evesdrop on a(Ranger) tourguide's informative presentation. Lots of petroglyphs here! This is indeed a sacred place. 10 minutes from Laughlin makes this an easy 1/2 day outing.

Owner description:
Visitors come to this canyon in the Nevada desert to view its Indian petroglyphs, some of the first known to man. Truly an amazing site, many of the etchings go 40 to 50 feet below the sand level and are hundreds of years old. A few of the more common ones have been translated but the rest remain a mystery.

Easy hike to see the Indian drawings and maybe some wildlife and if the right time of year a small waterfall!

It's only a short walk to see a pretty wide assortment of petroglyphs. Be careful that there is some pretty soft sand near the parking area. There is actually a jeep that has been stuck there for an apparently long time.

Grapevine canyon had been on the list for a while, so it was great to finally visit. The start of the canyon walls are pretty close to the trailhead but we would recommend staying on the higher ground as the ground is a lot firmer. The first 1/2 mile is very easy going but after that you will need to...

Its just a short hike .25 miles to the petroglyphs. A very nice find. It's about 6 miles outside of Laughlin. If you want to do a longer hike it gets steep quickly. The grapevines are awesome and the blooms of the spring in the valley were beautiful!

Possibly the greatest collection of petroglyphs in one place ever! Easy walk to the glyphs and plenty of hiking if you get the urge. Good graded sandy road in to the area. Who knew? My wife loved the place even more than I did! Mountains here are crazy wild.

We actually visited Grapevine Canyon when we lived in Parker, AZ in the early 1990's. Lots of petroglyphs that are easy to see.

I highly recommend this stop to hike and to see the many petroglyphs in this canyon. I have hiked many areas in Nevada and this area has the most petroglyphs that I have ever seen in one location. The parking lot to the trailhead is about 15 minutes out of Laughlin, along a dirt/gravel road. We brought our picnic lunch...

We had a very nice time exploring Grapevine Canyon near Laughlin, Nevada. It’s a short walk from the parking area and you can explore as far back into the canyon as you feel like scrambling over the rocks. There are many interesting petroglyphs on the rocks inside the canyon. Don’t forget to walk up the right hand side as you...
