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.^[1][2] A total of 7,825 acres (3,167 ha) are managed by the U.S. Forest Service.^[3][4]

The northern half of Peru Peak Wilderness is remote with no marked trails.^[5] In particular, Pete Parent Peak (2,961 ft or 903 m) has no marked path to the top.^[3]
