This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks[1] of the Rocky Mountains of North America.

Thumb
Mount Elbert in the Sawatch Range is the highest summit of the Rocky Mountains and the U.S. State of Colorado.

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][3] The first table below ranks the 100 highest major summits of greater North America by elevation.
  2. The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.[4][3] The second table below ranks the 50 most prominent summits of greater North America.
  3. The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.[5] The third table below ranks the 50 most isolated major summits of greater North America.
