We went off-roading again today, which, to our amazement, was Miss Poppy-dog’s favourite pastime! She is a true explorer! We couldn’t keep her on the agreed paths, she was off sniffing, climbing and having the time of her life! Who knew!

Grapevine Canyon is located in Spirit Mountain, some eight miles from our RV park, and is one of the earliest and largest sites for petroglyphs – images carved or scratched onto rocks in Southern Nevada.

The remote canyon is sacred to the Yuman and Numic speaking tribes, indigenous to the area. The springs and plants in the canyon attract people and many animals including bighorn sheep which are an integral part of this unique landscape.

The native rocks are darkened by desert varnish and are covered with hundreds of petroglyphs and, even though the day was cold, overcast and rainey, the canyon was truly amazing and we are so glad that we visited!
