The Indian trail loosely traces the old Shoshoni Native American path used in ancient times to avoid the narrow and possibly high waters of Ogden Canyon and onto the salt lake plain. The trail is heavily forested (except if you start at 22nd Street Trailhead, you have a bit of open trail before you hit the trees) and, even though you are close to Ogden, has a wilderness feel to it. The trail is well maintained and cool even in the summer. 

The Indian Trail is a moderate hike that ascends through lush evergreen forest and past interesting geology. If you start from 22nd Street Trailhead, the trail climbs steeply into Ogden Canyon, winds in and out of Warm Water Canyon, climbs to "Nevada Viewpoint" on the ridge between Warm Water Canyon and Cold Water Canyon, and then descends to into Cold Water Canyon near the Indian Trailhead. You can hike it out and back, or arrange a shuttle and hike from Trailhead to Trailhead.
