About This Trail

Imported description

The old Indian trail was used in the past to get out of Ogden Canyon and onto the salt lake plain. The trail is forested and has a wilderness feel to it. It is well maintained and cool during the summer. The Indian Trail is a moderate hike that goes through a lush evergreen forest. It climbs steeply into the canyon, and then descends into the canyon on its way to Nevada Viewpoint. There are two ways to get there: you can hike it out and back or arrange a shuttle.
