Indian Trail


In olden times, Shoshone Indians used this trail to avoid the high waters at the mouth of the canyon. Now the paved highway provides easy access into the canyon.

The Indian Trail is a moderate hike that ascends through lush evergreen forest and past interesting geology. It 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 Cold Water Canyon Trailhead. You can hike it out and back, or arrange a shuttle and hike from trailhead to trailhead.
