List of California fourteeners
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mountaineering in the United States, a fourteener is a mountain that exceeds 14,000 feet (4,267.2 m) above mean sea level. (This term is not usually significant outside the U.S.) This is a complete list of fourteeners in the US state of California, using a 300 foot topographic prominence cutoff. The main fourteener article has a list of all of the fourteeners in the United States, as well as references, more information about how the list is determined, and caveats about accuracy.
