Peru Peak Wilderness

The Peru Peak Wilderness is one of eight wilderness areas in the Green Mountain National Forest in the U.S. state of Vermont. It was created by the Vermont Wilderness Act of 1984 and later expanded by the New England Wilderness Act of 2006. A total of 7,825 acres (3,167ha) are managed by the U.S. Forest Service.

The Long Trail (which coincides with the Appalachian Trail in this region) enters the wilderness at Mad Tom Notch on its southern edge, crossing over Styles Peak (3,394ft or 1,034m) and Peru Peak (3,429ft or 1,045m) before exiting the area on its western edge. The northern half of Peru Peak Wilderness is remote with no marked trails. In particular, Pete Parent Peak (2,961ft or 903m) has no marked path to the top.
