The Little Matterhorn is a relatively small pyramidal peak located on the west side of the park. From a distance it may not stand out like other large peaks in the Lake McDonald Valley, but if you hike to the foot of Avalanche Lake, you will see it standing tall atop the shared ridge between the Avalanche Basin and the Snyder Basin. If you plan to hike to Avalanche Basin in November or early December, watch your footing -- the Little Matterhorn won't be the only thing covered in snow. This time of year the Avalanche Lake Trail can often be snow covered and icy. Hiking poles and traction gear that you can put over the bottom of your shoes can be helpful on slippery trails.
