Lone Grapevine Spring |
Overview
This fairly easy trail runs about 0.5 miles to a spring with oak trees, birds, and petroglyphs tucked against the base of sandstone cliffs at the south end of the Red Rock Escarpment.
The trail generally runs through diverse vegetation typical of the Mojave Desert Scrub habitat type, and during the hike, the sandstone cliffs, which are inside the Rainbow Mountain Wilderness Area, loom higher and higher, eventually dominating the landscape as hikers draw near the springs.
Presented here are photos of the return. For a full description of the hike, included directions, photos, GPS coordinates, and a map, see Lone Grapevine Spring. |
