Trail Overview

The trail starts off of Kyle Canyon Rd (Highway 157) and takes you into Grapevine Canyon in Mount Charleston. 4WD is recommended. The first part of the trail is pretty easy with some sandy areas that lead to Grapevine Springs. This is a beautiful canyon with a lot of greenery, as you continue past that the trail starts to get hard-packed with some off-camber and slightly rocky narrow canyons on your way to Grass Springs. You may see some wildlife, a small green meadow, and a partial stone cabin. There is no fee to enter and it is not busy. This was so much fun and beginner-friendly.

Drove from 95 southwest towards Mt Charleston. First half follows the telephone poles and is very easy. Then it makes a sharp right turn down a narrow canyon/wash. Some pinstriping from the bushes. More so for larger vehicles. This was the more scenic portion of the trail and we came upon a herd of burros here (you see their small road apples at various places along the trail. Next time I might consider starting from the other end and just go up and back along the more interesting and scenic portion of the trail.
