Grapevine - Red Cliffs Desert Reserve
Difficulty Level: Easy
Distance: 4.9 miles round trip
TRAIL SUMMARY
Home to many trails, Grapevine is becoming a popular area. The trail alone is easy to follow and runs for about 2.5 miles until connecting with Brackens Loop. Trails like Prospector, Sand Hill, and Dino Cliffs are also found along the path. The path starts right from the road and contains some slight inclines as it follows a service road path. Currently, there is some construction towards the end so please watch out for trucks driving up the path. Many unique rock formations and wildlife are found along the trail. Overall, Grapevine is a great family trail and even a great place to walk a dog.
