Round Mountain[2] is a small 6,185 ft summit made of gray hornblende plagioclase trachyte in Grand County of Utah, United States. Round Mountain is located in Castle Valley, near Moab, Utah. Round Mountain is an extinct bysmalith, or igneous volcanic plug, that rises 700 feet 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]
