Traveler Guide to Frazier Park, CA
The Grapevine is a corridor along Interstate 5 in Kern County in California that descends from the Tehachapi Mountains through Grapevine Canyon. Traditionally the Grapevine has included the route from the town of Lebec down to the town of Grapevine, although for organizational purposes this article also includes the nearby towns of Gorman, Frazier Park, Fort Tejon and Wheeler Ridge.
The Grapevine is a route that leads through Grapevine Canyon, descending at a six percent grade from the summit of Tejon Pass to the valley below. It has been a strategic travel corridor since the days of wagon roads, necessitating the construction of Fort Tejon to guard it. The original steep and winding route was famous for its accidents until it was widened and straightened during 1933-34.
