Sharktooth Peak is a summit located in Fresno County, California.

It is set in the John Muir Wilderness, one mile (1.6 km) north-northwest of line parent Silver Peak, and 11 miles (18 km) south-southwest of the town of Mammoth Lakes.

[6] Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Sierra Nevada mountains.

As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks (orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the range.

Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into tributaries of the Middle Fork San Joaquin River.
