Albion Meadows, Sugarloaf Pass, and Collins Road Loop Description

The Albion Basin, Sugarloaf Pass, and Collins Road circuit is fantastic hiking and trail running loop east of Salt Lake City, Utah. This route was originally designed by the Cirque Series trail running event team for their Alta trail race that is held annually. With over 2500ft of vert, this trail is challenging.
