Cerro de las Burras is a 4349feet summit in Presidio County, Texas, United States.
Cerro de las Burras is set in Big Bend Ranch State Park and the Chihuahuan Desert. The mountain is composed of 27.1 Ma basalt and tuff, overlaying 32 Ma conglomerate and sandstone.[4] Charles Christopher Parry walked to this mountain on August 24, 1852, during the United States and Mexican Boundary Survey.[5] Based on the Köppen climate classification, the mountain is located in a hot arid climate zone with hot summers and mild winters.[6] Any scant precipitation runoff from the peak's slopes drains to the Rio Grande which is 2miles to the south. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1870feet above the river in two miles (3.2 km). The mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names.[3] The mountain's Spanish name translates as "Jenny Hill" as in jenny, a female donkey.[5]
