As the name suggests, "El Diente" is the Spanish translation of "Tooth" which refers to the peak's shape.
It is located in the Lizard Head Wilderness of San Juan National Forest, 10.5 miles (16.9 km) to the northeast (bearing 8°) of Rico in Dolores County, Colorado, United States.

Furthermore, depending on where you start, you can hike from Mt Wilson to El Diente Peak or vice-versa. Also, this mountain is considered a difficult-to-climb fourteener due to its loose rocks and objective dangers.
