The Grapevine trail located near Washington, UT is a unique trail that connects to several other trails in the area such as the Prospector trail and the Church Rocks trail. What makes the Grapevine trail unique is that it ends at Grapevine Spring, a beautiful small waterfall that cascades down the red rock. The Grapevine trail runs underneath I-15 and comes out into the vast desert of southern Utah providing both paved trails and rocky terrain through portions of the trail. The trail also features flowers during the spring months giving diversity to the desert scenery. The trail is described as an intermediate level trail for bikers, offering many hills and sand to bike through.

At first glance, this trail looks very challenging when you see that you gain over 500 feet in elevation throughout the trail, since the trail is a loop and you start from a high elevation, this can be decieving. The Grapevine is challenging, but should also be a great experience that hikers and bike riders shouldn't feel exhausted after completing the trail.

The Grapevine trail is 5 miles long in total and is an out and back style trail. Parking for the trail is just off of Buena Vista road and the trail head begins at the parking lot. The trail leads to the Grapevine spring but also offers hikers to continue to the Elephant arch, if desired. Since this trail starts in the city, it is accessible year round although it would be best to avoid the trail when raining or after raining to keep the trail intact. 

Grapevine offers an in-city mountain biking experience and gives both hikers and bike riders a great experience that is a little off the beaten path. The Grapevine trail could bring you your next adventure in southern Utah!
