List of the major 100-kilometer summits of the Rocky Mountains

The following sortable table lists the 19 peaks of the Rocky Mountains of North America with at least 100 kilometers (62.14 miles)^* of topographic isolation and at least 500 meters (1640 feet)^* of topographic prominence.^[1]

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.^[2]^[3]
The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.^[4]^[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]
