Mountain peaks of Canada


This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks of Canada.
The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways:
  1. The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level. The [|first table] below ranks the 100 highest major summits of Canada by elevation.
  2. The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings. The [|second table] below ranks the 50 most prominent summits of Canada.
  3. The topographic isolation of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation. The [|third table] below ranks the 50 most isolated major summits of Canada.

    Highest major summits

Of the 100 highest major summits of Canada, five peaks exceed elevation, 19 peaks exceed, 67 peaks exceed, and all 100 peaks equal or exceed elevation.
Of these 100 peaks, 61 are located in British Columbia, 28 in Yukon, 13 in Alberta, and one in the Northwest Territories. Five of these peaks lie on the international border between Yukon and Alaska, four lie on the international border between British Columbia and Alaska, three lie on the border between British Columbia and Alberta, and one lies on the border between British Columbia and Yukon.

Most prominent summits

Of the 50 most prominent summits of Canada, only Mount Logan exceeds of topographic prominence, five peaks exceed, 41 peaks exceed, and all 50 peaks equal or exceed of topographic prominence. All of these peaks are ultra-prominent summits.
Of these 50 peaks, 34 are located in British Columbia, nine in Yukon, six in Nunavut, and three in Alberta. Three of these peaks lie on the international border between Yukon and Alaska, one lies on the international border between British Columbia and Alaska, two lie on the border between British Columbia and Alberta, and two lie on the border between British Columbia and Yukon.
