List of the highest major summits of the United States : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of the highest major summits of the United States
The following sortable table lists the 250 highest mountain peaks of the United States with at least 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 of topographic prominence, and a major summit as a summit with at least of topographic prominence. An ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least of topographic prominence. There are 127 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 250 highest major peaks, 102 are located in Colorado, 54 in Alaska, 29 in California, 15 in Wyoming, 11 in Utah, 10 in New Mexico, 10 in Nevada, 6 in Montana, 6 in Idaho, 2 in Washington, 2 in Hawaii, 2 in Arizona, and 1 in Oregon. Five of these peaks lie on the border between Alaska and Yukon, and two lie between Alaska and British Columbia. In the United States, only Denali exceeds elevation. Four major summits exceed , and 104 exceed elevation. ==Table==
