List of mountain ranges of Colorado
The following table lists the major mountain ranges of the U.S. State of Colorado. All of these ranges can be considered subranges of the Rocky Mountains.
As given in the table, topographic elevation is the vertical distance above the reference geoid, a mathematical model of the Earth's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface. The topographic prominence of a summit is the elevation difference between that summit and the highest or key col to a higher summit. The topographic isolation of a summit is the minimum great-circle distance to a point of equal elevation.
All elevations in this article include an elevation adjustment from the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988. For further information, please see this United States National Geodetic Survey . If an elevation or prominence is calculated as a range of values, the arithmetic mean is shown.Gallery
