Denali in Alaska is the highest mountain peak of the United States and North America. Mount McKinley is the third most topographically prominent and third most topographically isolated summit on Earth after Mount Everest and Aconcagua. This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks [a] of the United States of America.
The parent is the peak whose territory peak A resides in. The encirclement parent is found by tracing the contour below peak A's key col and picking the highest mountain in that region. This is easier to determine than the prominence parent; however, it tends to give non-intuitive results for peaks with very low cols such as Jabal Shams which ...
