Mount Williamson is the second highest California mountain peak.

The following sortable table lists the 50 highest California mountain peaks with a topographic prominence of at least 100 meters (328 ft). Topographic elevation is defined as the vertical distance above the reference geoid, a precise mathematical model of the Earth's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface.
