This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks [a] in Colorado. The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways: The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level. [b] [c] The first table below ranks the 55 highest major summits of Colorado by elevation.
All the major mountain ranges in the state of Colorado, United States, are considered subranges of the Southern Rocky Mountains. As given in the table, topographic elevation is the vertical distance above the reference geoid , a mathematical model of the Earth's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface.
This is a list of mountain peaks in the U.S. State of Colorado that exceed 14,000 feet (4267.2 meters) of elevation. In the mountaineering parlance of the Western United States , a fourteener is a mountain peak with an elevation of at least 14,000 feet.
