Apex consists of hiking trails towards the south end of Lookout Mountain. There are several ways to approach this park. Several loop trails allow you to return to the originating location. You can start at the Heritage Square Shopping Center and hike to the top of Lookout Mountain or reverse this trip. The Apex Trail starts at Heritage Square and follows Apex Gulch into the foothills. Two loop trails eventually branch from the Apex Gulch Trail; they are the Sledge Trail and the Sluice Box Trail. They go north and connect using the Pick, Bonanza, or Grubstake Loop Trails depending on how long a hike you are looking for. Also, you can continue further west on the Apex Trail and come out on the Lookout Mountain Road. How to get there: Take 6th Avenue west exiting on I-70 west. In about three miles, past the geological cut through the hogback, exit onto US 40. Go north and down the hill for about a mile, turn west, and follow the signs to Heritage Square Shopping Center. You may park in the lower parking lot at the Heritage Square Shopping Center for easy access to the Apex Trail.
