List of mountain peaks of California
This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks of the U.S. State of California.
Topographic elevation is the vertical distance above the reference geoid, a mathematical model of the Earth's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface. The topographic prominence of a summit is the elevation difference between that summit and the highest or key col to a higher summit. The topographic isolation of a summit is the minimum great-circle distance to a point of equal elevation.
This article defines a significant summit as a summit with at least 100 meters (328 feet) of topographic prominence, and a major summit as a summit with at least 500 meters (1640 feet) of topographic prominence. An ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least 1500 meters (4921 feet) of topographic prominence. There are 127 ultra-prominent summits in the United States.
All elevations in this article 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.
Highest major summits
The following sortable table lists the 40 highest California mountain peaks with at least 500 meters (1640.4 feet) of topographic prominence.
The first 16 of these summits each have at least 4000 meters (13,123.4 feet) of topographic elevation and at least 500 meters (1640.4 feet) of topographic prominence. See the Highest mountain peaks of California for a table of these summits.
Most prominent summits
The following sortable table lists the 40 most topographically prominent California mountain peaks.
The first nine of these summits are ultra prominent peaks, summits with at least 1500 meters (4921.3 feet) of topographic prominence.
Most isolated major summits
The following sortable table lists the 40 most topographically isolated California mountain peaks with at least 500 meters (1640.4 feet) of topographic prominence.
The first nine of these summits each have at least 100 kilometers (62.14 miles) of topographic isolation and at least 500 meters (1640.4 feet) of topographic prominence.
