[[File:Denali Mt McKinley.jpg|thumb|Denali, at {{convert|20310|ft|m|abbr=on}}, is the highest mountain in the United States]] In the mountaineering parlance of the Western United States, a '''fourteener''' (also spelled '''14er''') is a mountain peak with an elevation of at least {{convert|14000|ft|m|0|abbr=on|comma=5}}. The 96 fourteeners in the United States are all west of the Mississippi River. Colorado has 53 fourteeners, the most of any single state. Alaska has 29, the second most of any single state. Many peak baggers try to climb all fourteeners in the contiguous United States, or in one particular state, or in another region.
== Qualification criteria == The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways: #Topographic elevation is the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level.<ref name=NAVD_88>All elevations in the 48 contiguous United States include an elevation adjustment from the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). For further information, please see this United States National Geodetic Survey [http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/faq.shtml#WhatVD29VD88 note].</ref><ref name=range>If the elevation or prominence of a summit is calculated as a range of values, the arithmetic mean is shown.</ref> #Topographic prominence is how high the summit rises above its surroundings.<ref name=prominence>The topographic prominence of a summit is the topographic elevation difference between the summit and its highest or key col to a higher summit. The summit may be near its key col or quite far away. The key col for Denali in Alaska is the Isthmus of Rivas in Nicaragua, {{convert|7642|km|0|abbr=on|comma=5}} away.</ref><ref name=range/> #Topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) is how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.<ref name=isolation>The topographic isolation of a summit is the great-circle distance to its nearest point of equal elevation.</ref>
Not all summits over 14,000 feet qualify as fourteeners.<ref>Blake, Kevin S. 2002. Colorado Fourteeners and the Nature of Place Identity. ''Geographical Review'' 92(2): 155–179.</ref> Summits that qualify are those considered by mountaineers to be independent. Objective standards for independence include topographic prominence and isolation (distance from a higher summit), or a combination of the two. However, fourteener lists do not always use such objective rules consistently.{{Citation needed|date = February 2019}}
A rule commonly used by mountaineers in the contiguous United States is that a peak must have at least {{convert|300|ft|m|0|abbr=on}} of prominence to qualify.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.14ers.com/info_peak.php|title=14er Information|publisher=14ers.com|access-date=2025-09-07|archive-date=2025-07-31|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250731132230/https://www.14ers.com/info_peak.php}}</ref> By this rule, Colorado has 53 fourteeners, California has 12, and Washington has 2.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.14ers.com/getting-started|title=Getting Started|publisher=14ers.com|access-date=2025-09-07|archive-date=2025-02-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250201071539/https://www.14ers.com/getting-started}}</ref>

==Fourteeners== {{GeoGroup|section=Fourteeners}} {{See also|List of the highest major summits of the United States}} The following table lists the 96 mountain peaks of the United States with at least {{convert|14000|ft|0|abbr=on|comma=5}} of topographic elevation and at least {{convert|300|ft|2|abbr=on|comma=5}} of topographic prominence. Of these, 53 rise in Colorado, 29 in Alaska, 12 in California and 2 in Washington.

==Topographic prominence== The table above uses a minimum topographic prominence criterion of {{convert|300|ft|2|abbr=on}} and includes 96 peaks. The number of peaks included depends upon the minimum topographic prominence criterion. A criterion of {{convert|100|m|1|abbr=on}} includes 90 peaks, {{convert|500|ft|1|abbr=on}} includes 77 peaks, {{convert|1000|ft|1|abbr=on}} includes 63 peaks, and {{convert|500|m|0|abbr=on}} includes 46 peaks.
The following U.S. summits have 14,000 ft of elevation, but have less than 300 ft of topographic prominence: * Denali, Browne Tower, 14,530, Alaska: Prominence = {{convert|25|-|125|ft}}. Why this became included on some fourteener lists is unclear. * Mount Cameron, 14,238, Colorado: Prominence = 118 feet. * El Diente Peak, 14,159, Colorado: Prominence = 239 feet. On many fourteener lists. * Point Success, 14,158, Washington: Prominence = 118 feet. * Polemonium Peak, 14,080+, California: Prominence = 160–240 feet. * Starlight Peak, 14,080, California: Prominence = 80–160 feet. * North Conundrum Peak, 14,040+, Colorado: Prominence = 200–280 feet. * North Eolus, 14,039, Colorado: Prominence = 159–199 feet. * North Maroon Peak, 14,014, Colorado: Official Prominence = 234 feet. On many fourteener lists, partially due to analysis with higher-resolution topographic data suggesting its true prominence is greater than 300 feet.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.14ers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=61095|title=North Maroon is Ranked|website=14ers.com|date=2021-12-02|access-date=2024-09-14}}</ref> * Thunderbolt Peak, 14,003, California: Prominence = 223 feet. * Sunlight Spire, 14,001, Colorado: Prominence = 195–235 feet.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.peakbagger.com/peak.aspx?pid=6510|title=Sunlight Spire|website=Peakbagger.com|access-date=23 December 2021}}</ref>
