List of mountain peaks of Idaho facts for kids

Further information: Geography of Idaho

Borah Peak is the highest mountain in Idaho.

This article shares information about the tallest and most important mountain peaks in the U.S. state of Idaho. We'll look at three ways to measure how big or important a mountain is:

Elevation: This is how high a mountain's top is above sea level. Imagine the ocean as a starting point; elevation tells you how far up the mountain goes from there. The first table below lists the 40 highest major mountains in Idaho by their elevation.
Prominence: This measures how much a mountain sticks up from the land around it. If a mountain is very prominent, it means it rises sharply from its surroundings, even if it's not the absolute highest peak in the world. The second table below ranks the 40 most prominent mountains in Idaho.
Isolation: This tells you how far a mountain is from any other mountain that is just as tall or taller. A mountain with high isolation is quite alone in its height, meaning there aren't other tall peaks nearby. The third table below ranks the 40 most isolated major mountains in Idaho.

Idaho's Most Prominent Mountains

Some mountains really stand out from their surroundings! In Idaho, three peaks are "ultra-prominent," meaning they rise more than 1,500 meters (about 4,920 feet) above the land around them. Twenty peaks rise more than 1,000 meters (about 3,280 feet).

Idaho's Most Isolated Mountains

Some mountains are quite far from other peaks of similar height. Borah Peak, for example, is super isolated, being more than 200 kilometers (about 124 miles) away from another peak as tall or taller! Three other peaks are over 100 kilometers (about 62 miles) away.
