Purple Mountain is a summit in Gunnison County, Colorado, United States.

[2] The peak is located 11 miles (18 km) northwest of the community of Crested Butte in the Raggeds Wilderness, on land managed by Gunnison National Forest and White River National Forest.

Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 2,960 feet (902 m) above Middle Anthracite Creek in 1.2 mile (1.93 km).

The landform's toponym was officially adopted on April 4, 1906, by the United States Board on Geographic Names.

[5] Due to its altitude, it receives precipitation all year, as snow in winter, and as thunderstorms in summer, with a dry period in late spring.
