The Lava Mountains are a mountain range located along the northern edge of the Mojave Desert, in San Bernardino County, California.[1][2] They are one of the eastern limits of the Fremont Valley.[citation needed] They span the northwestern portion of the Golden Valley Wilderness, which sits between it and the Almond Mountains on the southeastern side.[3] The mountain range is cut by several deep-walled canyons with distinctive layers of multicolored sedimentary rocks.[3] The peak of the mountain range is at around 5,000 feet on Dome Mountain.[3]
