List of mountain peaks of Montana
This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks[1] of the U.S. State of Montana.
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.[2][3] The first table below ranks the 20 highest major summits of Montana by elevation.
- The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.[4][3] The second table below ranks the 20 most prominent summits of Montana.
- The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.[5] The third table below ranks the 20 most isolated major summits of Montana.
Highest major summits
Of the 20 highest major summits of Montana, three peaks exceed 3500 meters (11,483 feet) elevation, 15 peaks exceed 3000 meters (9843 feet), and all 20 peaks exceed 2864 meters (9396 feet) elevation.
Most prominent summits
Of the 20 most prominent summits of Montana, four peaks are ultra-prominent summits with more than 1500 meters (4921 feet) of topographic prominence and all 20 peaks exceed 1088 meters (3570 feet).
Most isolated major summits
Of the 20 most isolated major summits of Montana, eight peaks exceed 100 kilometers (62.14 miles) of topographic isolation and all 20 peaks exceed 50 kilometers (31.07 miles).

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.

- ↑ 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, 7642 kilometers (4749 miles) away.
