Day 9 – Grapevine Hills Trail

Another day for hiking! The Grapevine Hills Trail was in the National Park, via paved roads and also an unpaved road. Another adventure!

Again Renee and I didn’t make it to the top, but the others did. The end of the trail had a rock that was balanced across two other rocks and also had quite a view. Here are some pictures we took.

After the hike, we went to an area called the Basin in the National Park. This area was more green and had more color. A park ranger told our friends that it was due to a higher elevation and natural springs in the area. The change from desert brown to vivid green trees and bushes was quite prominent. The area had a nice gift shop and nice restaurant, where we ate lunch.

After visiting the basin, we returned to our RV Park and rested that evening.
