'''Mount Burnham''' | '''Mount Burnham''' er en af de højeste tinder (2742 m) i San Gabriel Mountains i det sydlige Californien, ca 100 km fra Los Angeles. Oprindeligt var den kaldet ''West Twin'', North Baldy Mountain; en af to tinder på en bjergkam. Den anden - ''East Twin'' (knap 1,5 km væk) - blev i 1931 kaldt [[Mount Baden-Powell]] efter [[Robert Baden-Powell]], og i 1951 blev så West Twin ved en officiel ceremoni opkaldt efter [[Frederick Russell Burnham]], den kendte stifinder og militære spejder, der i Afrika lærte B-P alt hvad han vidste om [[scoutcraft]], og blev en stor inspirator for B-P i forbindelse med grundlæggelsen af [[spejderbevægelsen]]. | ||

In 1956 blev Mount Burnham føjet til listen over tinder over 5000 ft (1524m) af ''the Hundred Peaks Section''fra Sierra Club, en amerikansk græsrodsbevægelse, der bl.a. arbejder for naturbeskyttelse. | |||
Den 85 km lange spejder-hike-rute ''Silver Moccasin Trail'', forbinder denne top med Mount Baden-Powell (højeste punkt på ruten), Throop Peak og Mount Hawkins. | |||
<!--Most of the forest on Mount Burnham and along the trail consist of plants native to the region. The peak is covered by [[Limber Pine|limber pines]] (''Pinus flexilis''), [[Lodgepole Pine|lodgepole]] (''P. contorta''), [[Sugar Pine|sugar pine]] (''P. lambertiana''), and [[Jeffrey Pine|Jeffrey pine]] (''P. jeffreyi''). Other plants of note include ''[[Holodiscus discolor|Holodiscus microphyllus]]'', ''[[Monardella|Monardella cinerea]]'', ''[[Eriogonum umbellatum]]'', ''Oreonana vestita'', ''[[Cycladenia|Cycladenia humilis]]'', and the rare, local yellow-flowered [[Lupinus peirsonii|Peirson's lupine]] (''Lupinus peirsonii''). The area is occasionally visited by [[Bighorn Sheep|bighorn sheep]] and a rare [[Cougar|mountain lion]]. | |||

Rocks in the area range in age from Pre-Cambrian (probable) igneous and metamorphics to Pre-Cretaceous metamorphics. The Vincent Thrust Fault, the oldest major fault in the range, dating to the Mesozoic, passes through the area. | Rocks in the area range in age from Pre-Cambrian (probable) igneous and metamorphics to Pre-Cretaceous metamorphics.
