The following sortable table lists the 104 mountain peaks of the United States with at least 4000 meters (13,123.4 feet) of elevation and at least 500 meters (1640.4 feet) of topographic prominence.
Topographic elevation is the vertical distance above the reference geoid, a precise mathematical model of the Earth's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface. Topographic prominence is the elevation difference between the summit and the highest or key col to a higher summit. Topographic isolation is the minimum great circle distance to a point of higher elevation.
This article defines a significant summit as a summit with at least 100 meters (328.1 feet) of topographic prominence, and a major summit as a summit with at least 500 meters (1640.4 feet) of topographic prominence. An ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least 1500 meters (4921.3 feet) of topographic prominence. There are 129 ultra-prominent summits in the United States.
All elevations in the 48 states of the contiguous United States 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.
Of these 104 major 4000 meter peaks, 55 are located in Colorado, 23 in Alaska, 16 in California, 5 in Wyoming, 2 in Hawaiʻi, and one each in Washington, Utah, and New Mexico.
In the United States, only Mount McKinley exceeds 6000 meters (19,685 feet) elevation. Four major summits exceed 5000 meters (16,404.2 feet), and the following 104 major summits exceed 4000 meters (13,123.4 feet) elevation.
