“A super fun ride through the trees as an alternative to the Apex trail.”

Features -none-
This trail is uphill only to bikes on odd numbered days. AKA you'll want to hit is on even numbered days for one of the best descents in the area. It's worth noting that a lot of hikers and runners still use these trails on even numbered days. Keep an eye out and a bell is recommended.
Description
Enchanted Forest is a super fun alternative to the upper section of the Apex trail. Aptly named, the trail follows tight and twisty singletrack through dense forest (dense by Colorado standards), lending it a different mood from other rides at Apex.
There are numerous, high speed root and rock maneuvers through the trees, which make this a blast for riders that like technical trail. The lush, dense forest that Enchanted forest runs through can look more like the Pacific Northwest than the Colorado frontrange.
