Get ready for a challenging mountain biking adventure on the Apex, Argos, and Enchanted Forest Loop. This difficult 7.0-mile (11.2 km) route will have you gaining 1409 feet (430 metres) in about 1 hour and 20 minutes. You'll navigate technical, rocky sections, especially around Magic Mountain, before diving into the unique, dense tree cover of the Enchanted Forest Trail. Expect reddish-brown dirt and flowy, high-speed root and rock maneuvers on this twisty singletrack, which feels more like the Pacific Northwest than typical Colorado Front Range trails.
Planning your ride requires attention to the park's specific rules. Bikes are generally allowed on even calendar days and operate as one-way only, while hikers often have access on odd days. Make sure to check the current schedule before you head out to avoid any surprises. The park is conveniently accessible from Denver, Golden, and other nearby areas, making it a popular local spot for mountain bikers.
This loop offers a diverse experience for expert mountain bikers seeking an advanced ride within Apex Park. Keep an eye out for wildflowers and local wildlife as you tackle the varied terrain. The distinct sections of this trail combine to create a memorable and demanding outing, setting it apart from many other routes in the region.
