This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks of the U.S. State of Idaho.
Contents
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 40 highest major summits of Idaho 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 40 most prominent summits of Idaho.
- 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 40 most isolated major summits of Idaho.
Highest major summits
Of the highest major summits of Idaho, ten peaks exceed 3500 meters (11,483 feet) elevation and 34 peaks exceed 3000 meters (9843 feet) elevation.
Most prominent summits
Of the most prominent summits of Idaho, three peaks are ultra-prominent summits with more than 1500 meters (4921 feet) of topographic prominence and 20 peaks exceed 1000 meters (3281 feet) of topographic prominence.
Most isolated major summits
Of the most isolated major summits of Idaho, Borah Peak exceeds 200 kilometers (124.3 miles) of topographic isolation and three peaks exceed 100 kilometers (62.14 miles) of topographic isolation.
