[[File:Denali Mt McKinley.jpg|thumb|[[Denali]], at {{convert|20310|ft|m|abbr=on}}, is the highest mountain in the United States]]
In the [[mountaineering]] [[Jargon|parlance]] of the [[Western United States]], a '''fourteener''' (also spelled '''14er''') is a [[Summit|mountain peak]] with an elevation of at least {{convert|14000|ft|m|0|abbr=on|comma=5}}. The 96 fourteeners in the United States are all west of the [[Mississippi River]]. [[Colorado]] has 53 fourteeners, the most of any single state. [[Alaska]] has 29, the second most of any single state. Many [[peak bagging|peak baggers]] try to climb all fourteeners in the [[contiguous United States]], one particular state, or another region.

== Qualification criteria ==
The [[summit]] of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways:
#[[Elevation|Topographic elevation]] is the height of the summit above a [[Geoid|geodetic sea level]].<ref name=NAVD_88>All elevations in the 48 [[contiguous United States]] include an elevation adjustment from the [[National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929]] ([[NGVD 29]]) to the [[North American Vertical Datum of 1988]] ([[NAVD 88]]).  For further information, please see this [[United States National Geodetic Survey]] [http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/faq.shtml#WhatVD29VD88 note].</ref><ref name=range>If the elevation or prominence of a summit is calculated as a range of values, the [[arithmetic mean]] is shown.</ref>
#[[Topographic prominence]] is how high the summit rises above its surroundings.<ref name=prominence>The [[topographic prominence]] of a summit is the [[Elevation|topographic elevation]] difference between the summit and its [[Topographic prominence#Definitions|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]], {{convert|7642|km|0|abbr=on|comma=5}} away.</ref><ref name=range/>
#[[Topographic isolation]] (or radius of dominance) is how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.<ref name=isolation>The [[topographic isolation]] of a summit is the [[great-circle distance]] to its nearest point of equal elevation.</ref>

Not all summits over 14,000 feet qualify as fourteeners.<ref>Blake, Kevin S. 2002. Colorado Fourteeners and the Nature of Place Identity. ''Geographical Review'' 92(2): 155–179.</ref> Summits that qualify are those considered by [[mountaineering|mountaineers]] to be independent. Objective standards for independence include topographic prominence and isolation (distance from a higher summit), or a combination of the two. However, fourteener lists do not always  use such objective rules consistently.{{Citation needed|date = February 2019}}

A rule commonly used by mountaineers in the contiguous United States is that a peak must have at least {{convert|300|ft|m|0|abbr=on}} of prominence to qualify.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.14ers.com/info_peak.php|title=14er Information|publisher=14ers.com|access-date=2025-09-07|archive-date=2025-07-31|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250731132230/https://www.14ers.com/info_peak.php}}</ref> By this rule, Colorado has 53 fourteeners, California has 12, and Washington has 2.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.14ers.com/getting-started|title=Getting Started|publisher=14ers.com|access-date=2025-09-07|archive-date=2025-02-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250201071539/https://www.14ers.com/getting-started}}</ref>

According to the Mountaineering Club of Alaska, the standard in [[Alaska]] uses a {{convert|500|ft|m|adj=on}} prominence rule rather than a {{convert|300|ft|m|0|adj=on}} rule.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtnclubak.org/index.cfm/Peaks/Peak-Bagging/12|title=Western Chugach 21 7,000-foot Summits|publisher=Mountaineering Club of Alaska|access-date=2016-12-10|archive-date=2016-12-21|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161221015737/http://www.mtnclubak.org/index.cfm/Peaks/Peak-Bagging/12|url-status=dead}}</ref> By this rule, Alaska has at least 19 peaks over {{convert|14000|ft|m|0|abbr=on}} and is home to all 9 US peaks exceeding {{convert|15000|ft|m|0|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.peakbagger.com/list.aspx?lid=21301|title=Alaska 13,000-foot Peaks|publisher=Peakbagger.com|access-date=2025-09-07|archive-date=2023-05-31|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230531034723/https://www.peakbagger.com/list.aspx?lid=21301}}</ref>

The following table lists the 96 mountain peaks of the United States with at least {{convert|14000|ft|0|abbr=on|comma=5}} of [[Elevation|topographic elevation]] and at least {{convert|300|ft|2|abbr=on|comma=5}} of topographic prominence.  Of these, [[List of Colorado fourteeners|53 rise in Colorado]], 29 in Alaska, 12 in California and one in Washington.  The 22 highest fourteeners are all found in Alaska.

==Topographic prominence==
The table above uses a minimum topographic prominence criterion of {{convert|300|ft|2|abbr=on}} and includes 96 peaks.  The number of peaks included depends upon the minimum topographic prominence criterion.  A criterion of {{convert|100|m|1|abbr=on}} includes 90 peaks, {{convert|500|ft|1|abbr=on}} includes 77 peaks, {{convert|1000|ft|1|abbr=on}} includes 63 peaks, and {{convert|500|m|0|abbr=on}} includes 46 peaks.

The following U.S. summits have 14,000&nbsp;ft of elevation, but have less than 300&nbsp;ft of topographic prominence:
* [[Denali]], Browne Tower, 14,530, Alaska: Prominence = {{convert|25|-|125|ft}}. Why this became included on some fourteener lists is unclear.
* [[Mount Cameron, Colorado|Mount Cameron]], 14,238, Colorado: Prominence = 118 feet.
* [[El Diente Peak]], 14,159, Colorado: Prominence = 239 feet. On many fourteener lists.
* [[Mount Rainier#Subsidiary peaks|Point Success]], 14,158, Washington: Prominence = 118 feet.
* [[North Palisade|Polemonium Peak]], 14,080+, California: Prominence = 160–240 feet.
* [[North Palisade|Starlight Peak]], 14,080, California: Prominence = 80–160 feet.
* North [[Castle Peak (Colorado)|Conundrum Peak]], 14,040+, Colorado: Prominence = 200–280 feet.
* [[North Eolus]], 14,039, Colorado: Prominence = 159–199 feet.
* [[North Maroon Peak]], 14,014, Colorado: Official Prominence = 234 feet. On many fourteener lists, partially due to analysis with higher-resolution topographic data suggesting its true prominence is greater than 300 feet.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.14ers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=61095|title=North Maroon is Ranked|website=14ers.com|date=2021-12-02|access-date=2024-09-14}}</ref>
* [[North Palisade|Thunderbolt Peak]], 14,003, California: Prominence = 223 feet.
