Lizard Head itself is Template:Convert and is a volcanic spire of crumbling rock. Due to the steepness of the cliffs and the poor quality of the rock for fixing ropes, only experienced mountaineers should attempt to summit the spire.

The area includes three prominent fourteeners: El Diente Peak (Template:Convert), Wilson Peak (Template:Convert), and Mount Wilson (Template:Convert). The area includes the headwaters of the west fork of the Dolores River.
