List of Colorado fourteeners facts for kids
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. This is a complete list of the 53 fourteeners in the U.S. State of Colorado with at least 300 feet (91.44 meters) of topographic prominence. See the main fourteener article, which has a list of all of the fourteeners in the United States, for some information about how such lists are determined and caveats about elevation and ranking accuracy.
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.
- The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.
- The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.
