Peru Creek


Keystone Peru CreekGet ready to ride back into history with the remains of many old mining relics. From Keystone, turn right onto Montezuma road and in about 4 1/2 miles after crossing the Snake River, turn left and park at the Peru Creek trailhead. You can increase the length of this ride by parking at the free parking lots and biking to the trailhead. Ride up Peru Creek road, drop into a meadow, and pass a fork to the right. Continue on the main road, you will encounter the Shoe Basin Mine to the left. Past this mine, the road increases in difficulty and steepness. Remain on the main route until you reach a junction near the head of horseshoe basin. Take the left fork to an immaculate alpine pond. What better spot for a picnic lunch or at least the Cliff bars you brought. When finished admiring the beauty, return, as you came, back to your vehicle.
