Highest 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:

Of the 100 highest major summits of the Rocky Mountains, 62 peaks exceed 4000 meters (13,123 feet) elevation, and all 100 peaks exceed 3746 meters (12,290 feet) 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.

Of the 50 most prominent summits of the Rocky Mountains, only Mount Robson and Mount Elbert exceed 2500 meters (8202 feet) of topographic prominence, seven peaks exceed 2000 meters (6562 feet), 31 peaks are ultra-prominent summits with at least 1500 meters (4921 feet), and all 50 peaks exceed 1189 meters (3901 feet) of topographic prominence.

Of these 50 peaks, 12 are located in British Columbia, 12 in Montana, ten in Alberta, eight in Colorado, four in Wyoming, three in Utah, three in Idaho, and one in New Mexico. Three of these peaks lie on the Alberta-British Columbia border.

Of the 50 most isolated major summits of the Rocky Mountains, only Mount Elbert exceeds 500 kilometers (310.7 miles) of topographic isolation, six peaks exceed 200 kilometers (124.27 miles), 19 peaks exceed 100 kilometers (62.14 miles), and all 50 peaks exceed 52 kilometers (32.31 miles) of topographic isolation.

Of these 50 peaks, 17 are located in Montana, ten in Colorado, nine in Wyoming, six in British Columbia, five in Utah, two in Alberta, two in New Mexico, and one in Idaho. Two of these peaks lie on the Alberta-British Columbia border.

Mount Elbert in the Sawatch Range is the highest summit of the Rocky Mountains and the U.S. State of Colorado.
