List of the highest major summits of North America


The following sortable table comprises the 200 highest mountain peaks of greater North America with at least of topographic prominence.
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.
  2. The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.
  3. The topographic isolation of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.
In greater North America, only Denali exceeds elevation. Three major summits exceed, 11 exceed, 21 exceed, 124 exceed, 277 exceed, and 401 exceed 3000 meters' elevation.
