List of the highest major summits of Canada

The following sortable table comprises the 150 highest mountain peaks of Canada with at least of topographic prominence.

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

Five major Canadian summits exceed , 11 exceed elevation, 19 exceed , 41 exceed , 69 exceed , and 125 major summits exceed elevation.
