The Matterhorn is the tallest peak in the Jarbidge Mountain Range. Standing at 10,838 feet, this rocky, steep summit requires a little bit of scrambling up exposed Class 2 talus and rock to reach. Once you get to the top of the Matterhorn you are rewarded with amazing panoramic views of the entire Jarbidge Mountain Range as well as views into Idaho! This mountain is named after the more famous Matterhorn in the European Alps because of the steep, prominent cliffs just north of the summit. The Matterhorn of the Jarbidge Mountains is a proud, remote peak in one of the most seldom visited wilderness area in the US. It is a great place to rest, eat lunch, take photos, and sign the summit register. Like the rest of the peaks on the long ridge line, tacking the Matterhorn is a serious endeavor across exposed terrain on trails that might be faint to non-existent at times. Please use good judgement about your own ability and comfort-levels traveling in this type of terrain.
