The Matterhorn rises 3,000+ feet above Hurricane Creek Valley—Wallowa Mountains, Eagle Cap Wilderness, Oregon, USA.

The Matterhorn rises over 3,000 feet above Hurricane Creek Valley, in the Wallowa Mountains, Eagle Cap Wilderness, Wallowa–Whitman National Forest, Columbia Plateau of northeastern Oregon, USA. The Matterhorn is composed of limestone of the Martin Bridge Formation. From Wallowa Lake Trailhead, I hiked 7.7 miles one way with 3200 feet gain to Ice Lake plus 3.7 miles round trip with 2000 feet ascent and descent to Matterhorn Peak. I tented overnight at Ice Lake before returning 7.7 miles to the trailhead.
