Is the Grapevine Hills Road paved?

Located in Big Bend National Park, it’s a fairly well maintained road through the Chihuahuan Desert. This bumpy dirt road allows access the Grapevine Hills trailhead, which leads to the picturesque Balanced Rock and several campgrounds. Most of the road is passable to passenger cars, except after rain when it may require high clearance or 4-wheel drive past GH-1. Beyond the Grapevine Hills trailhead (mile 6.4), the road becomes very rough and rocky, and requires high-clearance, especially after any rainfall.

How long is the Grapevine Hills Road?

Starting from Gano Springs Road, the road is 12.23km (7.6 miles) long and features many steep sections. Some areas can be very rough and you’ll need to be cautious in navigating them. Thunderstorm activity can quickly change unpaved roads to four-wheel-drive condition or make them impassable.
