Parika Peak Trail #120 has a fairly large parking area. Parika Peak Trail begins as an old road that is also ATV accessible. Cross over a few small streams before coming to a fork in the trail. Look for the elephants head flower near the streams in June and July. Continue on and take the fork to the right, the Gilsonite Trail, it also says Never Summer Wilderness access. The trail will take guests through meadows then and old growth spruce/fir forest before reaching the ridgeline (Blueridge Trail).
After less than a half-mile on the ridge there are views of Grand Lake, Shadow Mountain Reservoir and the cragged peaks of the Indian Peaks Wilderness. Continue on the ridge before descending to Bowen Lake. The trail continues past the southeast corner of the lake back up along the Bowen Trail three more miles to the Bowen Pass Trail fork. Take the fork to Parika Peak.
