List of California 14,000-foot summits

Further information: List of mountain peaks of California

This is a complete list of the 12 summits with elevation higher than 14,000 feet (4,267 m) in the U.S. state of California, with at least 300 feet (91.44 meters) of topographic prominence. In mountaineering parlance, these peaks are known as fourteeners. The main fourteener article has a list of all of the fourteeners in the United States, as well as references, more information about how the list is determined, and caveats about accuracy.

Mount Whitney is the highest summit of the Sierra Nevada, the State of California, and the contiguous United States.

The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways:

1. The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level.^[a][b]
2. The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.^[c][b]
3. The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.^[1]

Notes

1. All elevations in the 48 states of the 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 note.
2. If the elevation or prominence of a summit is calculated as a range of values, the arithmetic mean is shown.
3. The topographic prominence of a summit is the topographic elevation difference between the summit and its 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, 7642 kilometers (4749 miles) away.
4. The summit of Mount Whitney is the highest point of the Sierra Nevada, the State of California, and the contiguous United States.
5. The elevation of Mount Williamson includes an adjustment of +1.807 m (5.93 ft) from NGVD 29 to NAVD 88.
6. The summit of White Mountain Peak is the highest point of the White Mountains.
7. The summit of North Palisade is the highest point of the Palisades.
8. The elevation of North Palisade includes an adjustment of +1.867 m (6.13 ft) from NGVD 29 to NAVD 88.
9. The summit of Mount Shasta is the highest point of the southern Cascade Range.
10. The elevation of Mount Sill includes an adjustment of +1.888 m (6.19 ft) from NGVD 29 to NAVD 88.
