Perkins Peak is a 11,000+ foot peak located in the Boulder Mountains. I climbed this peak from the east side up the North Fork of the Big Lost River. This was my first time up the North Fork, and I followed the road to a rarely used Trail Head. From there, I found an old Trail that worked its way up an unnamed fork of the North Fork which started out heading west then bent to the south. I left the trail and followed a tiny creek up a draw to the saddle to the north of the peak, then followed the ridge to the summit. On my return trip I did some cross country exploring and worked my way over to the nice high meadows where the old trail went, then followed the trail back.
