  2. The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings. The [|second table] below ranks the 50 most prominent summits of Colorado.
  3. The topographic isolation of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation. The [|third table] below ranks the 50 most isolated major summits of Colorado.
