List of mountain peaks of Arizona facts for kids
- Further information: Geography of Arizona
This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks of the U.S. State of Arizona.
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 first table below ranks the 20 highest major summits of Arizona by elevation.
- The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings. The second table below ranks the 20 most prominent summits of Arizona.
- The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation. The third table below ranks the 20 most isolated major summits of Arizona.
Highest major summits
Of the highest major summits of Arizona, Humphreys Peak exceeds 3500 meters (11,483 feet) of elevation, five peaks exceed 3000 meters (9843 feet), and 14 peaks exceed 2500 meters (8202 feet) of elevation.
