+ About this map
El Diente Peak rises to 14,165 feet in the San Miguel Mountains of southwestern Colorado, the westernmost fourteener in the state. Its name means the tooth, and it earns it, a sharp point at the end of a long serrated ridge that runs east to Mount Wilson. The traverse between the two is one of the classic ridge scrambles in Colorado. Navajo Basin lies to the north and Kilpacker Basin to the south.
This map traces a single jagged crest. The contour lines follow the El Diente to Mount Wilson ridge as a narrow, tightly stacked band with steep faces dropping away on both sides. Mount Wilson provides the highest ground on the sheet, and the two basins open out above and below the ridge as broad, evenly spaced hollows. Elevation on this map runs from about 10,600 feet in the basins to just over 14,250 feet.
