This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks [a] in Colorado. 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. [b] [c] The first table below ranks the 55 highest major summits of Colorado by elevation.

All the major mountain ranges in the state of Colorado, United States, are considered subranges of the Southern 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.
Mount Whiteface is a 4,019 ft (1,225 m) mountain located in Grafton County, New Hampshire. The mountain is part of the Sandwich Range of the White Mountains. Whiteface is flanked to the northwest by Mount Tripyramid, and to the northeast by Mount Passaconaway. Whiteface is on the eastern border of the Sandwich Range Wilderness.
The mountain is located three miles (4.8 km) southwest of Twin Lakes on land managed by San Isabel National Forest. [1] Precipitation runoff from the peak's slopes drains to Lake Creek which is a tributary of the Arkansas River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 3,740 feet (1,140 m) above Lake Creek in 1.5 miles (2.4 km).
