Description
Casa Grande Peak is located in
hot arid climate zone with hot summers and mild winters.[6] Any scant precipitation runoff from the mountain's slopes drains into the Rio Grande watershed and the lower slopes of the peak are covered by juniper, oak, and piñon. "Casa Grande" is Spanish for "big house." The mountain is so named because it resembles a large castle, and the toponym was officially adopted in 1939 by the United States Board on Geographic Names.[3]
