This trail is subject to a seasonal closure from December 1st through April 15th to protect wintering deer and elk. The trail reopens on April 16th each year.

Apache is an approximately 2 mile blue singletrack trail located in the Arrowhead Ski Resort. This trail is a gorgeous alpine-style trail that makes creative use of the mountain and elevation. The trail begins on a fairly exposed knoll with a dozen bermed or re-inforced corners before a traverse with a bit of climbing through an evergreen section of forest. This spits you back out into the open with a long flowy descent into a beautiful aspen grove. This trail is a leg burner and a brake fader but a ton of fun and the views are amazing.

Apache is used primarily is open both ways to bikes and open to hikers and trail runners so be mindful and respectful
The trail has a moderate overall physical rating with a 42 ft green climb. On average it takes 10 minutes to complete this trail.
