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.[lower-alpha 2][lower-alpha 3] The first table below ranks the 40 highest major summits of Wyoming by elevation.
- The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.[lower-alpha 4][lower-alpha 3] The second table below ranks the 40 most prominent summits of Wyoming.
- The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.[lower-alpha 5] The third table below ranks the 40 most isolated major summits of Wyoming.
