Some towns in Colorado are going to have to repaint their signs after updates to how we measure sea level caused a shakeup amongst the order of the state's highest peaks.
Colorado's tallest peaks – colloquially known as "14ers" – stand above 14,000 feet. There are 53 of them (by most estimates, anyway) spread across 12 different mountain ranges and outside of Rocky Mountain National Park, they are the state's proudest hiking feature. They've long been listed in order of height, from Sunshine Peak in the southwest which stands at 14,004ft to towering Mount Elbert, which holds the claim to tallest peak at 14,438ft.
