'''Mount Burnham''' is one of the highest peaks (2742 m)in the [[San Gabriel Mountains]]. It is in the [[Sheep Mountain Wilderness]].<ref name="pb"/> It is named for [[Frederick Russell Burnham]] the famous American [[military scout]] who taught [[scoutcraft]] (then known as ''woodcraft'') to [[Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell|Robert Baden-Powell]] and became one of the inspirations for the founding of the [[Scouting|Boy Scouts]].  Mount Burnham was officially recognized by the [[USGS]] at a dedication ceremony in 1951.<ref name="dedication">
'''Mount Burnham''' er en af de højeste tinder (2742 m) i San Gabriel Mountains i det sydlige Californien, ca 100 km fra Los Angeles.

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]].

The 85 km long [[Silver Moccasin Trail]], a Boy Scout trail, connects the mountain with [[Mount Baden-Powell]], [[Throop Peak]] and Mount Hawkins. The [[Pacific Crest Trail]] follows the same route in this area.

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.
