Ute Mountain is a 10,093-foot elevation (3,076 m) summit located in Taos County, New Mexico, United States.

[3] The isolated landmark is the highest point of the Cerro del Yuta Wilderness and Rio Grande del Norte National Monument which is administered by the Bureau of Land Management.

[8] Ute Mountain has a base diameter of five miles and topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 2,500 feet (760 meters) above the surrounding sagebrush-covered basalt plains.

[10] The origin of the word Ute is unknown; it is first attested as Yuta in Spanish documents.

This landform's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names,[5] and has appeared in publications since at least 1875.
