PARIKA LAKE HIKE

According to Melanie you can only call it a "death march" if the hike is over 12 miles.

Parika did not qualify---it's 11.5 miles.

Crossing the Grand Ditch.

There are times when it almost overflows but the

runoff is over now. It carrys water from the top of

the Never Summer Mountains to the front range of North Eastern Colorado

for the farms.
