List of the highest major summits of Colorado



The following sortable table comprises the 117 highest mountain peaks of the U.S. State of Colorado with at least 3000 m of elevation and at least 500 m of topographic prominence.

Topographic elevation is the vertical distance above the reference geoid, a mathematical model of the Earth's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface. The topographic prominence of a summit is the elevation difference between that summit and the highest or key col to a higher summit. The topographic isolation of a summit is the minimum great-circle distance to a point of equal elevation.

This article defines a significant summit as a summit with at least 100 m of topographic prominence, and a major summit as a summit with at least 500 m of topographic prominence. An ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least 1500 m of topographic prominence. There are three ultra-prominent summits in Colorado.

All elevations in this article include an elevation adjustment from the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). For further information, please see this United States National Geodetic Survey note.

If an elevation or prominence is calculated as a range of values, the arithmetic mean is shown.
