Black Tooth Mountain (13,005 ft / 3,964 m) is located in the Bighorn Mountains in the U.S. state of Wyoming.[2] The peak is the second highest in the range after Cloud Peak. The summit is located in the Cloud Peak Wilderness of Bighorn National Forest. The sharp profile of the mountain gives it the name Black Tooth. Because of the steep terrain, Black Tooth mountain is one of the hardest mountains to climb in the Big Horn Mountains. Many of the trails up the mountain are unmarked which adds to the difficulty of reaching the summit.
