Hey everyone, I'm sorry if I am posting this in the wrong place. I'm new here when it comes to actually diving deep into wanting to hike a 14er.
I have been looking on the internet for an hour for the definition of a "centennial" and "bi-centennial" peak with no luck. Not the mountain peaks them selves.
Can someone tell me what these mean or have a link to a free glossary of terms such as this?
Thanks!

Centennial - top 100 elevation (for CO this includes the 53 ranked 14ers and the next highest ranked 47 13ers)
Bicentennial - top 200 elevation
Grey areas of what defines a peak (search forum) and how ties in elevation are settled lead to small changes in these lists of course
