List of the highest major summits of North America



The following sortable table comprises the 403 mountain peaks of greater North America with at least 3000 m of elevation and at least 500 m 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 (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.

In greater North America, only Denali exceeds 6000 m elevation. Three major summits exceed 5500 m, 11 exceed 5000 m, 21 exceed 4500 m, 124 exceed 4000 m, 277 exceed 3500 m, and the following 403 major summits exceed 3000 m elevation.
