The
topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.[d][c] The
second table below ranks the 50 most prominent summits of Colorado.
The
topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.[e] The
third table below ranks the 50 most isolated major summits of Colorado.

Of the most prominent summits of Colorado, only Mount Elbert exceeds 2000 meters (6562 feet) of topographic prominence. Three peaks are ultra-prominent summits with more than 1500 meters (4921 feet) of topographic prominence and 14 peaks exceed 1000 meters (3281 feet) of topographic prominence.
The 50 most topographically prominent summits of Colorado
Of the most isolated major summits of Colorado, Mount Elbert exceeds 1000 kilometers (621.4 miles) of topographic isolation and three peaks exceed 100 kilometers (62.14 miles) of topographic isolation.
The 50 most topographically isolated summits of Colorado with at least 500 meters of topographic prominence
^This article defines a significant summit as a summit with at least 100 meters (328.1 feet) of
topographic prominence, and a major summit as a summit with at least 500 meters (1640 feet) of topographic prominence. All summits in this article have at least 500 meters of topographic prominence. An
ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least 1500 meters (4921 feet) of topographic prominence.
