Serrated Peak is located in the Fairweather Range of the Saint Elias Mountains.

It is set within Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve and is situated 5.8 miles (9.3 km) southeast of Blackthorn Peak.

[2] Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into Dundas River, thence Icy Strait.

Although modest in elevation, topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over 3,500 feet (1,067 m) above the Dundas River in 1.5 miles (2.4 km).

[6] Weather systems coming off the Gulf of Alaska are forced upwards by the Saint Elias Mountains (orographic lift), causing heavy precipitation in the form of rainfall and snowfall.
