List of mountain peaks of the United States


This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks of the United States of America.
The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three main ways:
  1. The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the tip of a mountain above a geodetic sea level. The [|first table] below ranks the 100 highest major summits of the United States 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 the United States.
  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 the United States.

    Highest major summits

Of the 100 highest major summits of the United States, only Denali exceeds elevation, four peaks exceed, and all 100 peaks exceed elevation.
Of these 100 summits, 53 are located in Colorado, 23 in Alaska, 14 in California, five in Wyoming, two in Hawaii, and one each in Washington, Utah, and New Mexico. Five of these summits are located on the international border between Alaska and Yukon, and one is located on the international border between Alaska and British Columbia. The ten highest major summits of the United States are all located in Alaska.
