List of mountain peaks of the Rocky Mountains

File:Mt. Elbert.jpg

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

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

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. 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. 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. The third table below ranks the 50 most isolated major summits of greater North America.

Highest major summits

Template:Side box Of the 100 highest major summits of the Rocky Mountains, 62 peaks exceed elevation, and all 100 peaks exceed elevation.

Of these 100 peaks, 78 (including the 30 highest) are located in Colorado, ten in Wyoming, six in New Mexico, three in Montana, and one each in Utah, British Columbia, and Idaho.
