Left St. Louis, MO on Friday and drove straight through to Boulder for breakfast and then to Estes Park for lunch and then to the trail head. Camped just inside the forest the first night. Went up through the forest and to the Grand Ditch where we camped for the next night. The next day we lugged our 60 lb. packs up to Parika Lake where we set up camp. Tuesday and Wednesday we made back to back hikes up Parika Mountain. On the second day we crossed over to Baker Mountain and came down it to the lake by zig-zagging straight down the mountain. Fished in Parika Lake and caught some trout for dinner. Encountered strong winds, rain, and hail while there. We came down to the trail head on Friday morning and had lunch in Grand Lake. Drove on to Denver to Casa Bonita for dinner and then drove straight through to St. Louis, arriving on Saturday morning. Made this trip to Colorado four different years.
