Guadalupe Peak, located in Texas, has an elevation of 8,749 feet (2,667 meters), making it the highest point in Texas. Pikes Peak, located in Colorado, has an elevation of 14,115 feet (4,302 meters). Therefore, Pikes Peak has a significantly higher elevation than Guadalupe Peak.

It's the 41st highest peak in the continental us (30th highest in Colorado*). *To be ranked, a peak must rise at least 300 feet above the saddle that connects it to the nearest 14er peak (if another exists nearby).

Two peaks higher than Pikes Peak are not ranked because they do not fit this criteria.http://erg.usgs.gov/isb/pubs/booklets/elvadist/elvadist.html#14,000 http://www.14ers.com/photos/photos_14ers1.html
