Albion Basin is an easier ride then most of the others in the area. But it has breath taking views and is a definite must do ride, especially in the spring, the wildflowers are incredible! If your looking for more difficult, or singletrack in the Alta area, give these rides a try.

How to get there:   From I-215 take Exit 6 (there will be signs for the Ski Areas, you are looking for Alta/Snowbird).    9 Miles up Little Cottonwood Canyon, past Snowbird Resort. Park in the lot above the Town of Alta.
