CLIMBING MATTERHORN PEAK FROM ICE LAKE | EAGLE CAP WILDERNESS | WALLOWA MOUNTAINS | HIKING OREGON

- Hey Everyone! In this video, we awake at Ice Lake in the Eagle Caps of Oregon for the second day of our trip. It’s October 4th, 2020 and Fall has never looked so nice. In this second episode of our trip here, we climb to Matterhorn Peak - the second highest peak in the Eagle Cap Wilderness/Wallowa Mountains. It was a climb! Once at the top I logged a total distance of 2.31 miles hiked from our camp at Ice Lake. That took 2 hours 17 minutes to complete with a total elevation gain of 1,941 vertical feet. If you’re planning on doing this trip, be sure to be ready for loose rock and steep conditions while making the final ascent to the top. The climb is not for the faint of heart, but it’s definitely doable if you’re okay with some heights and are conditioned appropriately.
Be sure to check out the first video of this series, which details our first day hike up to Ice Lake. You can find it here: • BACKPACKING ICE LAKE |...

Thank you for watching!
Great video! Imagine that giant granite batholith being forced up from the mantle to poke up so big and proud for millions of years, wicked cool.
I think about things like that as well. Nature is pretty neat! Thanks so much for watching!
great video. Been there a few times but never ventured into the wilderness. Next summer I plan to go a few times, fingers crossed.
Yeah the Eagle Caps are beautiful, and I too hope to get back there someday! I'll cross my fingers for ya as well. Thanks so much for watching, and I also see you subscribed so thanks for that as well! Happy to have you along on the channel.
Such a beautiful view from the top! Nice to see you brought trekking poles, I couldn't imagine making that climb without poles, so helpful, especially on the way down. Good video!
Oh man it was awesome! Seriously I don’t think we can ever backpack again without trekking poles. I was able to run down that mountain with them, and they really made a huge difference. Thanks Dirk!
Love your cinematography Danny. This looks like an amazing spot. I'm going to do some more research and maybe try to it this year. Stunning views!
Thanks man! It was an awesome spot, and we really lucked out on the weather. Let me know if you have any questions on it! Thanks again!
Super scenic peaks! I gotta add Idaho to my list
Thanks my man! This was actually Oregon.. but it’s all the same!
Did Matterhorn last year & loved Eagle Cap as we do your videos. Plan the East Fork to Glacier Lake to West Fork Loop this year. Lake was cold end of September when I jumped in. I take a dip in them all but never seen a Mountain Bass🤣🌲
Wow thanks so much! I'd say Matterhorn was one of my first real summits. I really enjoyed that climb, and it was really scenic at the top. Would love to hit Eagle Cap one of these years as well. Ha! I bet the water was cold.. I'm yet to find a remotely warm alpine lake 😂... Kind of like an elusive mountain bass! Seriously thanks so much for the comments and for watching all the videos - I truly appreciate your support! Cheers!
Wallowas are the most under appreciated area in the USA
That was an awesome day! Beautiful area for sure!
Beautiful
Thank you so much! Really appreciate it.
The chairs at 2:31 in the back are nice!! We have two as well. They’re comfier and great price!
Yeah!! Did you get yours on Amazon?Pretty well priced for what they are. We upgraded this year to the Helinox chairs and are pretty excited for them!
What time of year did you go and were there bad mosquitos? Awesome video, planning to go this year!
Hey Tori! We did this one in early October of 2020. We really lucked out on the weather, and it made for a beautiful trip! There weren’t really any mosquitos that I recall, but only because it was so late in the year. I’d definitely come prepared for them if you go earlier! Thank you so much for watching the video. Feel free to shoot me any other questions you may have when planning your trip. Cheers!
Very Nice
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! How in the world does Tessa wake up without coffee??
Thanks Julie! I have no idea.. she is a different breed.. Aha
How did he say wallowa?
Not sure who you're asking.. But it looks like I said it a little fast so it came out more like.. "Wallwa"
So close. If only you had made it to the actual summit instead of the ridge.
Yeah I realized that after the fact unfortunately! Still a pretty awesome view.
Well worth the hike.
