This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks of the U.S. State of Utah. 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 sea level. The topographic prominence of a summit is
a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings. The topographic isolation of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation. Utah contains a diverse range of mountain systems, including the high-elevation Uinta Mountains, which contain the only peaks in the state exceeding 13,000 feet in elevation. According to the Utah Geological Survey, Utah has nearly two dozen summits above 13,000 feet, all located in the Uinta Mountains. For regional peak lists in the United States, a topographic prominence threshold of approximately 300 feet is commonly used to distinguish significant summits from minor subpeaks.
