Devils Dome is a 2,769-metre (9,085-foot) mountain summit located in the Valhalla Ranges of the Selkirk Mountains in southeast British Columbia, Canada. It is situated in western Valhalla Provincial Park, 1.5 km (0.93 mi) east of Lucifer Peak, 5 km (3.1 mi) west of Devils Couch, and 18 km (11 mi) west of Slocan and Slocan Lake. The peak is located in Devils Range, which is a subrange of the Valhallas. Devils Dome has a subpeak, unofficially called Dark Prince, 100 m (328 ft) to the west. The names of the peaks of this small compact range have a devil-related theme: Black Prince Mountain, Lucifer Peak, Mount Mephistopheles, Mount Diablo, Satan Peak, Devils Spire, and Devils Couch. This peak's name was submitted by Pat Ridge of the Kootenay Mountaineering Club and officially adopted July 27, 1977, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada. The first ascent of the peak was made in 1973 by Howie Ridge, Peter Wood, and G. Stein via the southeast ridge.
