Peak color, warm air, and a Sunday at Apex

This weekend's top 3

1. 1. Apex Park, Golden (Sunday). October 4 is an even calendar day, so the designated bike trails are yours. Climb Apex Trail, drop into Enchanted Forest while the aspens are at their brightest.
2. 2. Buffalo Creek. Shaded ponderosa forest along the Colorado Trail that feels 10 degrees cooler than town. Smooth, flowy, and fast.
3. 3. Dakota Ridge at Matthews Winters. Red rock slabs and technical lines with big views. Go at sunrise to beat the heat and the crowds.
