Note: the Table lists only real peaks, with prominence not less than 300 feet. A value of 300' is the separation limit that distinguishes peaks from sub-peaks in Colorado. The prominence or primary factor of a mountain is the minimal vertical drop from its summit before it ascends into a higher peak. Abbreviation "UN" stands for an Unnamed peak or mountain. Names in "quotes" are not officially recognized.

A list made independently has been posted by Ryan Schilling. There are only a few differences in the mountain order because the USGS topo map did not list some of the mountain heights so that we've made an educated guesses.

There are other well known 13-ers that are not listed in the Table because of too small prominence. They are: Hamilton Pk. (13,658, it is Blanca Pk. B), Miranda Pk. (13,468; UN 13565 B), Maxwell Pk. (13,335; Marquita Pk. B), Thirsty Pk. (13,213; Lakes Pk. B), Mt Walter (13,133; Wheeler Pk. B), Old Mike Pk. (13,113; Wheeler Pk. C), Middle Truchas Pk. (13,066; Truchas Pk. B).
