The Lava Mountains are a mountain range located along the northern edge of the Mojave Desert, in San Bernardino County, California. They are one of the eastern limits of the Fremont Valley. They span the northwestern portion of the Golden Valley Wilderness, which sits between it and the Almond Mountains on the southeastern side. The mountain range is cut by several deep-walled canyons with distinctive layers of multicolored sedimentary rocks. The peak of the mountain range is at around 5,000 feet on Dome Mountain.
