Peru Peak Wilderness takes its name from the highest mountain in the area. In the more remote, trail-less northern half of the Wilderness stands Pete Parent Peak. Two networks of beaver ponds in the northern section, and below Big Mud and Little Mud Ponds, provide trout fishing. Substantial black bear and white-tailed deer populations bring hunters in the fall. Deer are most numerous on the eastern side of the Wilderness along Utley Brook.
Winter snows are deep and hard, an attraction to cross-country skiers.
Styles Peak is reported to provide the best view. From Mount Tabor continue to Forest Service Road 21 which follows generally the southern boundary of Peru Peak Wilderness. Click here to find out how. Copyright Rodale, Inc. 2001.
