Sharon and I took advantage of a sunny and warm morning to visit Barr Lake State Park. It’s out on the prairie 35 miles east of Boulder.
An 8.8 mile trail circles the large lake. We hiked several miles of the trail on the east side of the lake north and south of the nature center.

At the end of our hike we visited the Visitor Center. We found several birds visiting there at the same time.
