Indian Canyon trail is very good for beginners. All of it is a dirt road and stretches for miles and forks off a few times. Deeper in the trail the dirt road turns into a asphalt road for a good amount of time but it is ok to ride on it. In the middle of the trail is a camping area and ranger station with running water and bathrooms. A popular place for hikers and horse back riders so caution. A few side trails for the more skilled.
