Talk:List of the highest major summits of the United States

This list is missing boundary peak in Nevada. Nevada's tallest peak at 13,147 feet. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_Peak_(Nevada) 2600:6C4E:1400:859:5497:266D:A96C:46AF (talk) 23:35, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

== Idaho Peaks need to be revised. There are several Peaks in the lost river range that qualify to be listed. For example Mount Idaho (12,065 ft, 3,677 m), Leatherman Peak (12,228 ft, 3,727 m), Mount Church (over 12,200 ft, 3,720 m), Mount Breitenbach (12,140 ft, 3,700 m), and Lost River Mountain (12,078 ft, 3,681 m). ==

Revising needs to be made to reflect this change. 2600:100F:B078:9CE8:C5CB:68CF:13F:C7A5 (talk) 20:24, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

== New Mexico is also missing a majority of its major summits. Using the 3000m elevation, 500m prominence cutoff, it should have 26 peaks, not 11. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mountain_peaks_of_New_Mexico. ==

Missing Several Peaks in Yellowstone NP / Wyoming & Montana
Electric Peak in Montana and Yellowstone National park is 10,969ft or 3,343 m with 3,389 ft or 1,033 m of prominence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_Peak https://www.peakbagger.com/peak.aspx?pid=4928

Mount Sheridan IN Wyoming / Yellowstone NP 10,313 ft or 3,143  with a 2308 ft or 704 m prominence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Sheridan https://www.peakbagger.com/peak.aspx?pid=5176

Mount Washburn in Wyoming / Yellowstone NP 10,248 ft or 3,123 m with a 2323 ft or 708 m prominence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Washburn https://www.peakbagger.com/peak.aspx?pid=4937

As a side note, this list has 15 peaks Montana with 3000M or greater elevation and 500 M or greater prominence there are in fact 45. Additionally, this list has 18 of the 45 peaks in Wyoming, 14 of the 42 in Utah, 3 of the 5 points in Arizona with the same criteria, and lastly this list has 6 of the 41 with same criteria in Idaho. It should be also noted that Colorado only has 115 peaks in the criteria not 117. 153.90.19.124 (talk) 17:43, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Working towards completeness
I'm in the midst of a major review and expansion of this list, having decided to finally address, as far as is possible, the numerous omissions and inaccuracies that have earned this article so much criticism. As others have pointed out, many, many peaks meeting both inclusion criteria (3000+ m elevation, 500+ m prominence) are inexplicably missing from this list. I am endeavouring to add them. And maybe some images, too. I'm not sure how complete and accurate I'll be able to get it, but any attempt must be seen as an improvement. We can at least get closer than we are now.

Most peaks in the latter ranks of this list will probably be obscure to readers who are not locals, though I suppose 3000+/500+ is as good a definition of 'major' summit as any other. Anything much smaller than 9,842 feet certainly does seem too small to be worthy of inclusion, and the prominence threshold seems to lose its purpose if made much greater or lesser than 1,640 feet.—PJsg1011 (talk) 12:10, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

Eastern U.S.
Where would notable mountains east of the Mississippi rank if they were included? Would Mount Mitchell (North Carolina) and Mount Washington (New Hampshire) even be in the top 1,000? I'm somewhat curious. Columbianmammoth (talk) 08:14, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
