Round Mountain[2] 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, about 10 miles (16 km) east-northeast of Moab. Round Mountain is an extinct bysmalith, or igneous volcanic plug, that rises 700 feet (210 m) above the middle of the valley floor. 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 southwest.[1]
