Ultraprominent Peaks Of The Contiguous US

Finally got around to fixing typeins. Should be much less irritating to do if you don't have to guess at the inclusion of mount/peak in the answer. Added South Sister in Oregon, which I somehow missed, and added the Range hint, mostly as I found it interesting. Had a little difficulty deciding which ranges to cover. Ended up going with the Wikipedia definition of Rockies, which does not include the Wallowas, Sierra Blanca Range, Columbias, or San Francisco Peaks, all of which I made into their own range here. Decided to go with a single "basin and range" qualifier rather than split it into a bunch of subranges, and split the mountains of Southern California into Transverse and Peninsular Ranges

Fixed Shasta, must have missed it when I went through to add typeins.

Colorado doesn't have very many Ultras, just 3 by my count. This is due to a relative dearth of low elevation passes between the subranges of the Colorado Rockies, For a given 14er to be a Ultra, the highest elevation pass separating it from taller 14ers would have to be below ~9000 feet. With the valley floors in the Colorado Rockies often over 8000 feet, the peak has to be very isolated from other Rocky Mountain peaks to qualify. After the range highpoint of Elbert, that is just Pikes Peak and Blanca Peak, the rest are all connected to higher mountains by passes that are too high.

By comparison, the Basin and Range in Utah/Nevada/California and Cascades in California/Oregon/Washington are advantaged when it comes to Ultras. rather than a continuous mountain range, a bunch of isolated ranges seperated by low valleys in the former, and high volcanoes in the latter are basically perfect topography for high prominence
