| Indian Trail (27) | | Length: 4.3 miles, one way | Difficulty: Moderate | | Elevation: 4,840' to 5,560' | Trail surface: Dirt |  | | Trail status: Open | | Trail summary:
A moderate hike with dizzying cliffs, massive geological formations, and the cool shade of an evergreen forest.
| Description:
This is a popular trail that follows a route once used by Shoshoni Indians to avoid high water at the mouth of Ogden Canyon. From the 22nd Street Trailhead (elevation 4840), follow the signs leading northeast through a network of paths. The trail climbs steeply, turning east into Ogden Canyon, then widing in and out of Warm Water Canyon, until it reaches "Nevada Viewpoint" at 6100 feet, on the ridge between Warm Water Canyon and Cold Water Canyon. It then descends to meet Cold Water Canyon Trail, which you can follow downward (north) to the Cold Water Canyon Trailhead in Ogden Canyon.
The Indian Trail is not recommended for bikes or horses because it is narrow and steep in some areas.
| Trailhead location:
Access Indian Trail from the 22nd Street Trailhead in Ogden or the Cold Water Canyon Trailhead in Ogden Canyon (at the Smokey Bear Sign).
| Trail history:
The Indian Trail follows much of the old path that the Shoshoni Indians used to get over the rocky "narrows" near the mouth of Ogden Canyon and thereby avoid high water at the mouth of the Canyon.
