More information on Apex Park

A favorite foothill destination for local mountain bikers, this park, 15 minutes from downtown, boasts a network of intermediate single-track trails with rigorous climbs and intense technical variation. The steep, narrow switchbacks of the Pick-n-Sledge Trail intersect with the Grubstake Loop, where you can reward yourself with a fast descent and yes, more climbing. Watch your speed and beware of loose rocks and waterbars. Hikers travel the trails for the views of Denver and the park is also a popular workout for trail runners.
