Trail Albert's Alley
Great trail, but I’m not sure what the recommended route is to get out once you’re at the bottom. Crow creek was rough hike a bike and not very fun. Maybe Mo Rocka is better? Or just go back up Albert’s Alley?

Trail Bone Collector
If 2%, Gold Watch, Ignoramus, El Alto and others are rated black/double black, then Bone Collector definitely merits a higher rating. The upper rock section has washed out enough that there is a brief section that many good riders can't consistently clear.

Not recommended for biking. Many tight, rocky sections that are hike a bike. Even if you like trials style riding, there are better areas.

I was surprised with how much fun this trail was! Its classic gowdy with a few technical spots but mostly smooth trail. This is a great beginner/intermediate descent as it can be lapped easily and riding it in the direction shown (clockwise) gets you a lot of bang for your buck.

This trail is more of a blue. The only thing difficult is the exposure and extremely loose soil

This trail isn’t too hard. Has some steep granite slabs though that look scary but have plenty of grip and are pretty forgiving. There’s also a steep and sandy chute near the bottom.

Loose and technical with a lot of up and down, the scenery makes up for it though

Definitely not double black, it is an easier single black at most.

Parts of this trail are great except for the hike a bike black section. Expect a good amount of hikers on this one. You're probably better off avoiding it.

Great trail. Tons of fun side trails but it does stand on it's own.

Trail El Alto
Challenging and enjoyable technical climb of switchbacks and steep rock faces. Once you start back down there are a few optional freeride style stunts if you choose otherwise its moderate speed technical riding. I certainly wouldn't give it a double black diamond rating, it's more an advanced blue.
