List of mountain peaks of the Rocky Mountains facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

The Rocky Mountains are a huge mountain range in western North America. They stretch for over 3,000 miles (4,800 km) from British Columbia in Canada all the way to New Mexico in the United States. This article will show you some of the most important mountain peaks in the Rockies.

We can measure mountains in a few ways:

Elevation: This is how high a mountain's top (summit) is above sea level. Think of it as how high you would be if you started at the ocean and went straight up.
Prominence: This measures how much a mountain stands out from the land around it. Imagine a mountain that's really tall, but it's surrounded by other tall mountains. It might not be as "prominent" as a slightly shorter mountain that rises sharply from flat land.
Isolation: This tells you how far a mountain is from another mountain that is just as tall or taller. It shows how "alone" a mountain is.

Highest Major Summits

The Rocky Mountains have many very tall peaks. Sixty-two of the 100 highest major peaks are over 4,000 meters (about 13,123 feet) high! All of the top 100 peaks are taller than 3,746 meters (about 12,290 feet).

Most of these super-tall peaks are in Colorado. Seventy-eight of the top 100, including the 30 highest, are found there. Other high peaks are in Wyoming, New Mexico, Montana, Utah, British Columbia, and Idaho.

Most Prominent Summits

When we talk about "prominent" mountains, we mean how much they rise above the land around them. It's not just about how high they are from sea level, but how much they stand out from their base.

Of the 50 most prominent peaks in the Rocky Mountains, only Mount Robson and Mount Elbert rise more than 2,500 meters (about 8,202 feet) from their surroundings. Thirty-one of these peaks are "ultra-prominent," meaning they rise at least 1,500 meters (about 4,921 feet). All 50 prominent peaks rise more than 1,189 meters (about 3,901 feet).

These prominent peaks are found in many different areas. Twelve are in British Columbia, twelve in Montana, ten in Alberta, eight in Colorado, four in Wyoming, three in Utah, three in Idaho, and one in New Mexico. Three peaks are right on the border between Alberta and British Columbia.

Most Isolated Major Summits

Isolation tells us how far a mountain is from any other mountain that is just as tall or taller. A mountain with high isolation is truly "alone" in its height, meaning you'd have to travel a long way to find another peak that reaches its elevation.

Among the 50 most isolated major summits in the Rocky Mountains, only Mount Elbert is more than 1,000 kilometers (about 621 miles) away from another peak of equal or greater height. Six peaks are more than 200 kilometers (about 124 miles) isolated. Nineteen peaks are more than 100 kilometers (about 62 miles) isolated. All 50 of these peaks are isolated by at least 52 kilometers (about 32 miles).

Montana has the most isolated peaks on this list, with 17. Colorado has ten, Wyoming has nine, and British Columbia has six. Utah has five, Alberta has two, and New Mexico has two. Idaho has one. Two of these isolated peaks are located on the border between Alberta and British Columbia.
