WASHINGTON'S 100 HIGHEST PEAKS with 400 Feet of Prominence |
|||||||
| Comparison of the 400-Foot-Rule List by Clean Prominence to the Bulger List | |||||||
John Lixvar (and John Plimpton to 8500 feet) created the great Top 100 Bulger List in 1976. Rules: 1. Minimum 400-foot, clean-prominence-based list. 2. Excluding volcano subsummits with <800 feet of prominence. (Liberty Cap, Sherman, Colfax, Lincoln) 3. Including high, map-named, non-volcanic summits over 8320 feet with <400' prominence. (Seven Fingered Jack, Sahale, Dark, Horseshoe, Rahm, Little Annapurna, Blackcap) John Roper and Jeff Howbert compiled the one-rule (clean 400-foot prominence) WA Top 100 Peaks with prominence data, additional peaks, saddles, and next higher mountains (NHM) in 1987-2001. Prominence is discussed here. |

Notes:
Prom Prominence is the elevation difference between a peak and the lowest contour that encircles the peak and no higher point.
If water were to rise to this lowest encircling contour, it would isolate the mountain as an island, and the height of the island would be its prominence. This is a clean prominence list, but prominence calculations could be done from these surveyed pass elevations: Stevens (4056), Cloudy (6438), Whatcom (5206), Maude/Seven Fingered Jack (8158), Hilgard (6638), Twisp (6064), or road sign pass elevations not shown on the latest maps: Snoqualmie (3022), Rainy (4855), Washington (5477), or Big Hidden
Lake (4316).
Peaks with the same elevation are given the same rank.
Calculations were done with maps available in 2001.

| Ballard: Cross-hair is on true summit 0.2 miles SSE and ~40 feet higher than 8301' elevation shown on map. | ||||||
|
Enchantment: The true summit is the NE peak shown as the 8480+contour on 7.5' quads, but surveyed at 8520 on older 15-minute quads. |

| Raven Ridge: High point may be 8572' east summit, rather than the 8580 summit on USGS Martin Peak. | ||||||
