Overview

Nestled amongst mountains of untouched wilderness, Indian Flats feels isolated from the developed world. The lower elevations of the trail offer rolling hills and turns that tuck into the landscape, while the upper elevations brandish panoramic views of San Diego County's backcountry. This mild offroad drive is enough to give a novice driver a sense of accomplishment yet is not technical or rough enough for consternation. The one-lane trail connects Warner Springs to Chihuahua Valley, where the Cooper Cienega Truck Trail can be taken as far north as Anza.
