Objective standards for independence include topographic prominence and isolation (distance from a higher summit), or a combination of the two.

[citation needed] A rule commonly used by mountaineers in the contiguous United States is that a peak must have at least 300 ft (91 m) of prominence to qualify.

Of these, 53 rise in Colorado, 29 in Alaska, 12 in California, and 2 in Washington (Liberty Cap is part of the crater atop Mt Rainier).

The table above uses a minimum topographic prominence criterion of 300 ft (91.44 m) and includes 96 peaks.

The number of peaks included depends upon the minimum topographic prominence criterion.
