Name[edit]

Great list! And someone finally figured out how to directly link to NGS datasheets: THANK YOU!

Shouldn't this article (and similar ones) be named List of mountains in California ? hike395 05:12, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article contains four sortable tables of mountain peaks. List articles should ideally contain a single ordered list with perhaps some annotation. --Buaidh 17:10, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mammoth Mountain[edit]

Great list but it is missing Mammoth Mountain, which should be both in elevation at 11.053 ft. and prominence at about 3.000 ft.

Thanks, good catch. Mammoth Mountain should be #29 on the elevation list, although it misses the prominence and isolation lists. Yours aye, Buaidh 15:42, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mokelumne Peak[edit]

How come Mokelumne Peak seems to be completely missing from WP? Not "major" somehow? Dicklyon (talk) 04:53, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

OK, now it's a "sub-stub". Good start. Thanks. Dicklyon (talk) 05:59, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New York Mountain is in Colorado[edit]

New York Mountain is on the list but it is in Colorado. It's currently listed as #31 under, "The 50 most topographically prominent summits of California" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Mountain 2600:1700:7A51:10B0:B13E:688C:D8C2:A5D5 (talk) 15:44, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Indigenous names[edit]

Hi, I'd like to create a new column that includes the indigenous names of peaks and its corresponding tribe when not identified as such. This could be notated as such:

Rank	Mountain peak	Indigenous name	Mountain range	Elevation	Etc....
1	Mount Whitney	Tumanguya (Paiute)	Sierra Nevada	14,505 ft	etc

Missing Mt Muir[edit]

Mount Muir is missing from the list. I'm not certain if this is deliberate or not, but Muir is a distinct separate summit nearly a mile south of Mount Whitney, and it is over 14,000 feet. Seems like it should be here. Lizardite (talk) 18:51, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To be on the list, a peak must have at least 500m of topographic prominence. Mount Muir has 91m. — hike395 (talk) 13:27, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
