We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of The Indian Wells yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about The Indian Wells
Long hike. No shade bring your own .And water.. No bathroom so bring your own and please, carry it back out.(The paper.ect..) Dogs are ok. No play ground, lots of history. Lots of fossils. Trail not marked, just fallow dirt road, near Collage and keep Indian wells road behind you. .
