Fourteener facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

This page is about high mountain peaks. For the concept in poetry, see Fourteener (poetry). For the NBA Development League team, see Colorado 14ers.

Denali (also known as Mt. McKinley) is the tallest mountain in the United States. It is 20,310 ft (6,190 m) high.

A fourteener is a special name for a mountain peak that is at least 14,000 ft (4,267 m) (about 4,267 meters) tall. This term is mostly used in the Western United States.

There are 96 fourteeners in the United States. All of them are west of the Mississippi River. Colorado has the most, with 53 of these tall peaks. Alaska comes in second with 29. Many people who love to climb mountains, called "peak baggers," try to climb all the fourteeners in a certain state or region. Some even try to climb all of them in the contiguous United States (the lower 48 states).

How Mountains Qualify

Not every mountain peak over 14,000 feet is called a fourteener. To be a fourteener, a peak needs to be seen as an "independent" mountain. This means it must stand out enough from other nearby, taller peaks.

Mountain climbers often use rules to decide if a peak is independent. Here are the main ways to measure a mountain's height:

Topographic elevation: This is how high the mountain's top is above sea level.
Topographic prominence: This measures how much a mountain rises above the land around it. Imagine how much you would have to go down from the peak before climbing up to a higher peak.
Topographic isolation: This is how far a mountain is from another peak that is just as high or higher.

A common rule in the United States is that a peak must rise at least 300 ft (91 m) above its surroundings to be a fourteener.

By this rule, Colorado has 53 fourteeners.
California has 12.
Washington has two.

In Alaska, the rule is a bit different. The Mountaineering Club of Alaska uses a 500-foot (150 m) prominence rule. With this rule, Alaska has at least 21 peaks over 14,000 ft (4,267 m). Twelve of Alaska's highest peaks are even taller than 15,000 ft (4,572 m)!

List of Fourteeners

The table below shows the 96 mountain peaks in the United States that are at least 14,000 ft (4,267 m) tall and have at least 300 ft (91.44 m) of topographic prominence.

53 of these peaks are in Colorado.
29 are in Alaska.
12 are in California.
One is in Washington (Liberty Cap, which is part of Mount Rainier).

The 22 tallest fourteeners are all located in Alaska.

Peaks Not Always Called Fourteeners

The table above uses a rule that a peak must have at least 300 ft (91.44 m) of prominence to be a fourteener. If this rule changes, the number of peaks on the list would also change. For example:

If the rule was 100 m (328.1 ft) prominence, there would be 90 peaks.
If it was 500 ft (152.4 m) prominence, there would be 77 peaks.

Some U.S. peaks are over 14,000 feet high but are not always considered fourteeners. This is because they have less than 300 ft (91 m) of topographic prominence. They might be too close to a taller peak to be counted as truly "independent."

Here are some examples of peaks over 14,000 feet that often don't make the fourteener lists:

Denali, Browne Tower, Alaska (14,530 feet): It only rises about 25–125 feet (7.6–38.1 m) above the land around it.
Mount Cameron, Colorado (14,238 feet): Its prominence is 118 feet.
El Diente Peak, Colorado (14,159 feet): Its prominence is 239 feet.
Point Success, Washington (14,158 feet): Its prominence is 118 feet.
Polemonium Peak, California (over 14,080 feet): Its prominence is between 160 and 240 feet.
Starlight Peak, California (14,080 feet): Its prominence is between 80 and 160 feet.
North Conundrum Peak, Colorado (over 14,040 feet): Its prominence is between 200 and 280 feet.
North Eolus, Colorado (14,039 feet): Its prominence is between 159 and 199 feet.
North Maroon Peak, Colorado (14,014 feet): Its prominence is 234 feet.
Thunderbolt Peak, California (14,003 feet): Its prominence is 223 feet.
Sunlight Spire, Colorado (14,001 feet): Its prominence is between 195 and 235 feet.
