Matterhorn Peak is a high mountain summit in the San Juan Mountains range of the Rocky Mountains of North America. The thirteener is located in the Uncompahgre Wilderness of Uncompahgre National Forest, west by north (bearing 283°) of the Town of Lake City in Hinsdale County, Colorado, United States.
Mountain Matterhorn Peak and neighboring Wetterhorn Peak are named after the Matterhorn and the Wetterhorn, two famous peaks in the Swiss Alps. Both Colorado peaks are pointed rock spires (hence slightly resembling their namesake peaks), whose shapes contrast with the broad bulk of the higher Uncompahgre Peak.Louis W.
