Elliott Mountain is a prominent 12,346-foot summit in the San Miguel Mountains, a subrange of the Rocky Mountains in southwestern Colorado. It rises within San Juan National Forest about 3.5 miles north-northwest of Rico and stands out distinctly in the surrounding forested and alpine terrain. Its location among the rugged peaks around Rico and its elevation of 3,763 meters make it one of the higher points in the area, helping define the mountain landscape of this part of Colorado.
