Description

The Pfeifferhorn, is the perfectly shaped 11,326' triangular peak located in the most isolated part of the Lone Peak Wilderness Area of Utah's Wasatch Mountains. This extremely rugged Utah mountain is commonly referred to as the "Little Matterhorn". This summit offers a hiking route to the summit which requires some scrambling. There are several technical rock climbing routes with the north ridge being the most popular. This summit also makes an excellent winter mountaineering adventure.
