| Trail Report |
| Begin shoeing along Peru Creek Road a gentle ascent along wooded hillside terrain. At one mile is a potential slide area to look out for especially if new snow has fallen. As you pass old mining structures, you will also pass the intersections of the Lenawee Trail and Warden Road. At 3 miles you will reach a fork, bear right and cross the creek into Cinnamon Gulch toward Pennsylvania Mine. The avalanche area is beyond the mine. Do not go here. Return the way you came. |
| How to Get There |
