List of California 14,000-foot summits

There are 12 summits with elevation higher than in the U.S. state of California, with at least of topographic prominence. (In mountaineering parlance, these peaks are known as fourteeners.)

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 a geodetic sea level.
The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.
The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.
