Old Indian Path is a short, flat mountain biking route in Arizona on Bureau of Land Management land within the Tucson Field Office. It starts and ends at about 2,492 feet, with a total climb and descent of 24 feet over a 0.34-mile out-and-back. The elevation gain is so minimal that the route is rated easy, and it's the kind of outing that pairs naturally with other trails in the area. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Tucson show March highs around 75°F and October highs around 86°F, while June and July average in the low 100s. The station sits about 240 feet higher than the route, so temperatures here run a little warmer. Several other trails are within a short distance. North Trail is 0.2 miles away, and Ridge Loop and West Loop are each about 0.3 miles off. For a different kind of outing, the Far West Trail hiking route is roughly half a mile away.
