(Redirected from Colorado fourteeners)
Main articles: fourteener

In mountaineering in the United States, a fourteener (or "14er") is a mountain peak that exceeds 14,000 feet (4,267.2 meters) elevation. (This term is not usually significant outside the U.S.) This is a 'complete list of the fourteeners in the U.S. State of Colorado' with a minimum of 300 feet (91.44 meters) of topographic prominence. See the main fourteener article, which has a list of all of the fourteeners in the United States, for some information about how such lists are determined and caveats about elevation and ranking accuracy.
