Morne Rouge , together with its second peak, Morne Fous, is a volcanic mountain on the southern tip of the island state of Dominica . Morne Rouge only reaches a height of 373 m , but is very conspicuous due to its location and forms the end of the Soufrière Ridge to the south. The boundary between the parishes of Saint Mark and Saint Patrick runs across its summit.
