Granite Peak is the highest summit of the Beartooth Range and the U.S. State of Montana.

This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks[1] of the U.S. State of Montana.

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.[2][3] The first table below ranks the 50 highest major summits of Montana by elevation.
  2. The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.[4][3] The second table below ranks the 50 most prominent summits of Montana.
  3. The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.[5] The third table below ranks the 50 most isolated major summits of Montana.

Highest major summits

Of the highest major summits of Montana, three peaks exceed 3500 meters (11,483 feet)* elevation and 44 peaks exceed 3000 meters (9843 feet)* elevation.
