Too Much for One Day
Wild Indigo SNA follows an abandoned railroad right-of-way for 12 miles. Parts of the primitive trail are mowed at least once in some years. In mid- and late summer, if it is not mowed, hiking through the dense tall grass quickly becomes fatiguing. Plan to explore just one half of the SNA on your visit, unless you can be dropped off at one end and picked up at the other end.
