Apex Park

Started with my dog at the Apex Park trailhead (east side) and took Magic Mountain to Enchanted Forest to Poco Calle out & back, total 6 miles. It was lovely!!

Great open space area setup by Jefferson County. This park is not your normal neighborhood park, it's an open space park. So it's great for hike and mountain bikes, and a portion of the trail could be challenged. Section of the trail is designed for specific use by even or odd day (even for bike and specific direction, while odd day for hiker only in both directions) It is popular during summer, and trails are not very wide, so it could be a bit overwhelming with multiple bikers and joggers passing. Watch out weather like any mountain in the Colorado. The Storm cloud can passing through in the afternoon and bring shower, hail, and/or lighting

I loved this hike!! The trails address very well maintained and with easy to follow signs. There are several different tails to follow with lots of opportunity to see wildlife. There is a lovely brook and some beautiful forest. I absolutely loved the enchanted forest! It opens into grassy fields and beautiful views. The bikers were friendly and all followed the posted rules for riding specific directions for odd and even days of the week. Theis is a good hike, some steep parts, nothing technical. I highly recommend spending a few hours exploring the area.

Went on July 4th, started about 8:30. Trail starting out is sunny, parts are shaded, little creek follows you up the trail. We took Apex to Enchanted Forest and came back around the loop to Apex Trail. Enchanted Forest was beautiful, much cooler with all the trees, path opens up a bit more. Odd days are best for hikers as mountain bikers are limited to one way only. We encountered a lot of mountain bikers as yesterday was an even day, however all were courteous. Saw tons of wildlife, everything was really green with flowers everywhere. Trail imo is more difficult in the beginning as there are lots of rocks to climb over, but still doable. Bring lots of water, no water at all on the trail, only restrooms are in the parking lot (very clean though) Have fun and enjoy our states beauty.

Amazing place to go for a little ride! The main loop was about 9 miles with 2000’ if climbing. Odd days have one way trails for bikes which is nice for climbing consistently on Apex trail! Going back again next weekend!
