Lime Mountain is a big mountain located in the White Knob Mountains of Central Idaho. It ranks as the 79th-highest peak in Idaho. Lime Mountain is one of the five 11ers in the range and can easily be climbed in combination with the other four: Shelly Mountain, Redbird Mountain, Cabin Mountain and North Cabin Mountain.

Lime Mountain is unique because of its incredibly broad and flat summit. It is perhaps the broadest summit of any 11,000-foot peak in Idaho, being on somewhat of a high plateau. Although the summit is broad and flat, the North and East Faces are quite precipitous. When approached from the west or the south though, the mountain rises gradually to the summit plateau, the highest point of which is located at the northeastern tip. The name “Lime Mountain” is misleading as it is neither green nor made of limestone.
