The Rocky Mountains span the western United States, stretching from Canada to New Mexico, making them one of the most prominent mountain ranges in North America.

The Rocky Mountains, often referred to as "The Rockies," are a massive mountain range that defines much of the western United States' geography. These mountains extend over 3,000 miles from British Columbia and Alberta in Canada, through the United States, to New Mexico. Known for their breathtaking landscapes, they are home to many national parks, including Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado and Yellowstone in Wyoming. The range is famous for its snow-capped peaks, diverse ecosystems, and outdoor recreation opportunities such as hiking, skiing, and mountaineering.
