Matterhorn Peak
Matterhorn Peak is located in the Sierra Nevada, in the western U.S. state of California, at the northern boundary of Yosemite National Park. At elevation, it is the tallest peak in the craggy Alps-like Sawtooth Ridge and the northernmost peak in the Sierra Nevada. The peak also supports the Sierra's northernmost glacier system. It was named after the Matterhorn in the Alps. Matterhorn Peak is quite near to Twin Peaks, and just north of Whorl Mountain.
The peak can be ascended without climbing gear., in The Dharma Bums, describes a hike up and a run down the mountain. This led to the classic observation, "You can't fall off a mountain."
