Salt Lake City offers all visitor amenities. The Albion Basin Summer Road is a popular drive for motorists, especially on weekends and holidays. Be alert to hikers on the Albion Meadows Trail. This is alpine terrain, so weather may change from clear in the morning to boiling thunderheads by afternoon. Thus, you'll see plenty of motorists, hikers, and other mountain bikers.
Telephones are available at lodges near the trailhead.
Snowbird Resort has emergency medical facilities. Summer homes and all structures in Alta Ski Area are private property, so stay on designated roads and trails. Little Cottonwood Canyon is the southernmost canyon in the Salt Lake section of the Wasatch Range. From Interstate 215 take Exit 6 for 6200 South and Ski Areas. Where Wasatch Boulevard forks right for La Caille, stay straight on UT 210 and into Little Cottonwood Canyon.
