Round Mountain is a small 6,185-foot (1,885 m) summit made of gray hornblende plagioclase trachyte in the Castle Valley in southeastern Grand County, Utah, United States. It is located two miles (3.2 km) southeast of Castle Valley, Utah, and about 10 miles (16 km) east-northeast of Moab. Round Mountain is an extinct bysmalith, or igneous volcanic plug, that rises 1,000 feet (305 m) above the valley floor in 0.4 miles (0.64 km). Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into Castle Creek, which is a tributary of the Colorado River. The nearest higher peak is Castleton Tower, 1.42 miles (2.29 km) to the north.[1]
