100 Highest US Mountain Peaks
DirectionsName the mountains/peaks with the highest summits in the US. You do not need the word Mount/Mt/Mountain/Peak in your answer.
who made this and where did you get your information? This is so innacurate
it’s off Wikipedia here:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_highest_major_summits_of_the_United_States
don’t know what your source is?
He’s confused because you’re using a list of “major summits” which nobody really uses. Most people in the mountaineering community use a 100m/300 foot prominence cutoff to separate real mountains from subpeaks, not the 500m cutoff on this particular Wikipedia article.
i see – if you have a source showing the top 100 with the 100m/300ft cutoff I can use that.
Using 500m is unexpected and more challenging, but not necessarily bad — there is more diversity. I’d include the cutoff in the description to avoid creating frustration.
But for the 300′ rule: https://www.peakbagger.com/list.aspx?lid=21201
Not sure about spoilers in the comments, but they changed the name of one peak in Colorado that you can drive up. Other name changes are being discussed.
I enjoy this quiz for what it is but I was having to guess a lot on which peaks counted, like Sill and Tyndall don’t for California even though they’re considered part of the 11 14ers. I don’t think hugequiz necessarily “has to” follow what peakbagger says though.
Being from Colorado really helped on this one
