Pfeifferhorn

Mt. Pfeifferhorn

The Pfeifferhorn, one of Utah’s highest peaks at 11,326ft, this was our objective. Our morning began at the White Pine’s trailhead at 9am. Yes this was late but we needed a ride to the trailhead and this was the best that we could do. Our route would be a 9-mile round trip of beat out trails, then deep snow and finally a knife-edge traverse. Summer through Fall ascents take 10 hours round trip. Winter ascents often take “at least” 16 hours round trip. Post holing and winter gear can add a lot to an ascent.
