Castle Dome is a 7,054-foot Navajo Sandstone summit in Zion National Park in southwestern Utah, rising about 2,800 feet above Zion Lodge and the floor of Zion Canyon on the west side of the North Fork Virgin River. Set between Behunin Canyon and Heaps Canyon with the Emerald Pools at its southeast foot, it stands among several of Zion’s best-known formations, including Mount Majestic, Cathedral Mountain, the Great White Throne, Mountain of the Sun, and Lady Mountain. Its runoff drains to the North Fork Virgin River, it lies in a cold semi-arid climate, and its name was officially adopted in 1934 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.
