• Source: List of mountain peaks of the Rocky Mountains

This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks of the Rocky Mountains of North America.
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 100 highest major summits of greater North America 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 50 most prominent summits of greater North America.
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 50 most isolated major summits of greater North America.




Highest major summits




Of the 100 highest major summits of the Rocky Mountains, 62 peaks exceed 4000 meters (13,123 feet) elevation, and all 100 peaks exceed 3746 meters (12,290 feet) elevation.
Of these 100 peaks, 78 (including the 30 highest) are located in Colorado, ten in Wyoming, six in New Mexico, three in Montana, and one each in Utah, British Columbia, and Idaho.




Most prominent summits



Of the 50 most prominent summits of the Rocky Mountains, only Mount Robson and Mount Elbert exceed 2500 meters (8202 feet) of topographic prominence, seven peaks exceed 2000 meters (6562 feet), 31 peaks are ultra-prominent summits with at least 1500 meters (4921 feet), and all 50 peaks exceed 1189 meters (3901 feet) of topographic prominence.
Of these 50 peaks, 12 are located in British Columbia, 12 in Montana, ten in Alberta, eight in Colorado, four in Wyoming, three in Utah, three in Idaho, and one in New Mexico. Three of these peaks lie on the Alberta-British Columbia border.




Most isolated major summits



Of the 50 most isolated major summits of the Rocky Mountains, only Mount Elbert exceeds 1000 kilometers (621.37 miles) of topographic isolation, six peaks exceed 200 kilometers (124.27 miles), 19 peaks exceed 100 kilometers (62.14 miles), and all 50 peaks exceed 52 kilometers (32.31 miles) of topographic isolation.
Of these 50 peaks, 17 are located in Montana, ten in Colorado, nine in Wyoming, six in British Columbia, five in Utah, two in Alberta, two in New Mexico, and one in Idaho. Two of these peaks lie on the Alberta-British Columbia border.
