List of the major 3000-metre summits of Canada
The following sortable table comprises the 67 mountain peaks of Canada with at least 3000 metres (9843 feet) of elevation and at least 500 metres (1640 feet) of topographic prominence.[1]
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.[2]
- The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.[3][2]
- The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.[4]
Five major Canadian summits exceed 5000 metres (16,404 feet) elevation, 11 exceed 4500 metres (14,764 feet), 19 exceed 4000 metres (13,123 feet), 41 exceed 3500 metres (11,483 feet), the following 67 summits exceed 3000 metres (9843 feet), and 125 exceed 2500 metres (8202 feet) elevation.

All summits in this article have at least 500 meters of topographic prominence. An ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least 1500 metres (4921 feet) of topographic prominence.

- ↑ 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.
