Dome Mountain is a 13,379-foot-elevation (4,078-meter) summit located in San Juan County, Colorado, United States.
Dome Mountain is situated five miles (8 km) northeast of the town of Silverton on land administered by the Bureau of Land Management.[4] It is set five miles west of the Continental Divide in the San Juan Mountains which are a subrange of the Rocky Mountains. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into the Animas River and topographic relief is significant as the summit rises nearly 3,700 feet (1,100 meters) above the river in 1.25 mile (2 km). The mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names,[2] and has been recorded in publications since at least 1906.[5]
