Apex Valley Road in Colorado is a historic and scenic route that leads to the old mining camp and ghost town of Apex, located near Central City and Black Hawk. It's an easy backcountry drive for the most part, though sections further north can become rougher with ruts and embedded rocks, potentially requiring a 4x4 vehicle.
Apex Valley Road offers access to other trails and is popular for various activities, including off-roading (with unlicensed vehicles allowed on some sections), hiking, mountain biking, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling in the winter. It's a great destination for those interested in Colorado's mining history and outdoor recreation.
Camping is not allowed below the town of Apex. Above Apex, there are a few suitable sites, especially at the trailhead for Utah Hill and just past the end of this trail on Dakota Hill.
