Pikes Peak is one of Colorado's 54 fourteeners, mountains more than 14,000 feet (4,267.2 m) above sea level. The massif rises over 8,000 ft (2,400 m) above downtown Colorado Springs. Pikes Peak is a designated National Historic Landmark. It is composed of a characteristic pink granite called Pikes Peak granite.
Height, angle-reduced height, and jut have unit of length (meter or feet). While height and angle-reduced height depend on the viewing location around the peak, jut is a constant value for a given peak. [1] Base is the location where angle-reduced height is maximized.

Mount Elbert in the Sawatch Range is the highest peak of the Rocky Mountains and the highest point in Colorado. The following sortable table comprises the 100 most topographically prominent mountain peaks of the U.S. State of Colorado.
The parent peak of each peak is Great Pond Mountain. The parent peak may be either close or far from the subject peak. The summit of Mount Everest is the parent peak of Aconcagua in Argentina at a distance of 17,755 km (11,032 miles), as well as the parent of the South Summit of Mount Everest at a distance of 360 m (1200 feet). The key col may ...
Height on the other hand simply means elevation of the summit above sea level. Regarding parents, the prominence parent of peak A can be found by dividing the island or region in question into territories, by tracing the runoff from the key col (mountain pass) of every peak that is more prominent than peak A. The parent is the peak whose ...
The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level. [1] [2] The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings. [3] [2] The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of ...
