Highest mountain peaks of the United States
- Highest mountain peaks of the United States
The following sortable table lists the 101 mountain peaks of the United States with a topographic elevation of at least convert|4000|m|ft|0|sp=us and a topographic prominence of at least convert|500|m|ft|0|sp=us. Topographic elevation is the vertical distance above the reference geoid, a precise mathematical model of the Earth's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface. Topographic prominence is the elevation difference between the summit and the highest or key col to a higher summit. Topographic isolation is defined as the minimum great circle distance to a point of higher elevation. A total of 56 of these highest peaks are located in Colorado, 20 in Alaska, 15 in California, 5 in Wyoming, 2 in Hawaiʻi, and 1 each in Washington, Utah, and New Mexico.
