Pfeifferhorn

The signature Wasatch summit hike out of LCC. Eleven miles round trip and 3,676 ft of gain to the 11,326-ft summit — known as the 'Little Matterhorn' for its sharp triangular profile. The route passes Red Pine Lake, climbs the west ridge via a Class 3 granite boulder traverse, and finishes with an exposed knife-edge section just below the summit. Not a beginner scramble.
