FOURTEENERS (14,000 FEET) OF ROCKY MOUNTAINS


In a previous review named EXPEDICIÓN MOUNT WHITNEY, the most remarkable range of mountains in USA and North America is the ROCKY MOUNTAINS, a gross spine extended form Alaska through New Mexico. It's the "Montañas Rocosas" o Rocky Mountains en North America.

Rocky Mountains.



The Rockies enclose the highest top around the USA and North America, namely, the 
Mount McKinley or Denali (6.194 m / 20,320 ft), as well as the highest top around Canada, the Mount Logan (5.959 m / 19,551 ft), besides other summits above 5.000m heightness. It's curious that, despite the high concentration of peaks above 4.000m height, the highest top around the contiguous states is the MOUNT WHITNEY (4.421 m / 14,505 ft), whithin the High Sierra o Sierra Nevada of California.

Rocky Mountains is 5.000 km - 3,100 miles long, most of it into the USA, crossing Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico. Here's the overall situation of the Rockies in USA.

Rocky Mountains in the US.



Considering the US CUSTOMARY SYSTEM the magic threshold is 14,000 feet, so the big shots are named after this, as Fourteeners or 14ers . For us, as Europeans, the international systme is customary, and a Fourteener is the equivalent to 4.268 meters. Hence, if you are not American, don't mislead Fourteeners by "cuatromiles". 

It's customary to sort the Fourteeners (14ers) according to the state pertaining to, in spite of the range wherein attached; even considering the fact that the summits might pertain to very different system ranges.

Most of our research has met information about Colorado Fourteeners o California Fourteeners, instead of "Rocky Mountains Fourteeners" or "High Sierra Fourteeners". That's the reason why the attached list is sorted by FOURTEENERS OF USA OR US FOURTEENERS and the CONTINENTAL US FOURTEENERS. The Contiguous US or Continental US consist of the 48 contiguous states besides Washington D.C., as part of the United States of America, disregarding Alaska and Hawai.

Now, following meet the 70 Contiguous US Fourteeners by states:

- 54 Fourteeners in Colorado
- 15 Fourteeners in California
- 01 Fourteeners in Washington


On the other hand, the 70 Contiguous US Fourteeners spread out by ranges like follows:

- 54 Fourteeners in Rocky Mountains of Colorado, pertaining the Southern Rocky Mountains
- 13 Fourteeners en High Sierra or Sierra Nevada of California
- 01 Fourteeners in White-Inyo Mountains of California
- 01 Fourtenners in Cascada Range of California
- 01 Fourteeners in Cascada Range of Washington


We're a bit picky with this, so that we've developed a list of the Fourteeners of the Rockies, or Fourteeners of Colorado, which is the same, curiosuly. In fact, the Fourteeners located in the Rockies, considering both of USA and Canada, are all of them within Colorado State. For such  reason,it's usual to mention the Colorado Fourteeners instead the Rocky Mountains Fourteeners. The highest point of the Rockies is the Mount Elbert (4.401 m / 14,440 ft), which is, at the same time, the highest point of the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and of Colorado State. Besides, it's the second top aroung  the contiguous US, just behind the granitic mith of MOUNT WHITNEY (4.421 m / 14,505 ft).

In this section, it's enclosed the list of 59 FOURTEENERS OF THE ROCKIES, or COLORADO ROCKY MOUNTAINS, OR FOURTEENERS OF COLORADO, sorted by heightness and based on the list published here:

- 14ERS.COM
- FOURTEENERS.ORG
- AMERICASROOF.COM/FOURTEENERS

As explained at 14ERS.COM, we've included all 14,000 ft peaks, no matter how prominent they're, as long as they're acknowledged by the UNITED STATES GEOLOGYCAL SURVEY USGS.

The last column includes the date we've climbed it, if such is the case. From the 54 FOURTEENERS (14,000 FEET) of the Rockies, you'll find 5 CLIMBINGS succesfully accomplished by us.
