Mount Elbert in the Sawatch Range is the highest peak of the Rocky Mountains and the highest point in the U.S. state of Colorado.
The following sortable table comprises the 117 highest mountain peaks of the U.S. State of Colorado with at least 3000 meters (9843 feet) of elevation and at least 500 meters (1640 feet) of topographic prominence.
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 (328.1 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 three ultra-prominent summits in Colorado.
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.
If an elevation or prominence is calculated as a range of values, the arithmetic mean is shown.
