The ALBION BASIN TRAIL is a perfect ride for beginners, dates and families. The trail leads to a beautiful camping area below Crescent Lake, which many families and couples use as a picnic spot. The ride is about six miles round trip and can be completed at a fast pace or at a slower, enjoyable pace.
The trailhead can be reached by taking the 90th South exit off the I-15 and driving east. Shortly you will come to a stop sign in Little Cottonwood Canyon; take a right and drive approximately eight miles until you reach an information booth at the end of the road. Enjoy your ride.

The WASATCH CREST TRAIL is a popular and highly recommended ride that runs between Big Cottonwood Canyon and Park City and ends up in the Salt Lake Valley. It tailors to both experienced riders and to beginner riders as well. Most will begin their ride at Guardsman Pass and travel the well-kept trail down into Salt Lake. It is a beautiful ride through the canyon.
More experienced and intense riders will begin their adventure at Mill Creek Canyon’s Big Water Trail and use it to join up later with the Wasatch Crest Trail and pop out in Salt Lake. Both trails offer its riders a wonderful, unforgettable experience.
