List of mountain peaks of the Rocky Mountains


This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks of the Rocky Mountains of North America.
The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways:
  1. The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level. The [|first table] below ranks the 100 highest major summits of greater North America by elevation.
  2. The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings. The [|second table] below ranks the 50 most prominent summits of greater North America.
  3. The topographic isolation of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation. The [|third table] below ranks the 50 most isolated major summits of greater North America.

    Highest major summits

Of the 100 highest major summits of the Rocky Mountains, 62 peaks exceed elevation, and all 100 peaks exceed elevation.
Of these 100 peaks, 78 are located in Colorado, ten in Wyoming, six in New Mexico, three in Montana, and one each in Utah, British Columbia, and Idaho. The 30 highest peaks are all located in Colorado.
