Cerro Mohinora is an extinct volcano that is part of the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range in the Mexican state of Chihuahua located in the municipality of Guadalupe y Calvo.

Cerro Mohinora is the highest point in the state of Chihuahua reaching an elevation of 3,300 m (10,827 ft) above sea level.

The mountain began to form during Paleogene geologic period characterized by intense volcanic activity in the area throwing lava and ash onto the surrounding plateau and creating the Sierra Madre Occidental.

Cerro Mohinora was raised to an elevation over 3,300 m above sea level during the Pleistocene by intense tectonic activity.

Winter snowstorms with high winds are common and typically over 1 meter (~3 ft) of snow per season.
