Old Indian Path is a short, well-maintained gravel road ride on Bureau of Land Management land in the Tucson Field Office, about 0.2 miles from the start. It's an out-and-back route that covers roughly 0.4 miles round trip, with a total climb of about 17 feet, so it's essentially flat. The trail is rated moderate and is described as a brief but engaging ride for intermediate riders. The gravel surface offers good traction, but it still requires intermediate bike handling skills to navigate effectively. The ride is short enough to work as a warm-up or a quick session for practicing technique on varied terrain. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Tucson show March highs around 76°F and November highs around 76°F, while June and July average about 102°F. Several other trails sit close by. North Trail and Ridge Loop are each about 0.1 mile away, West Loop is about 0.2 mile away, and Coyote Loop is about 0.3 mile away.
