***About the Rocky Mountains:

*** Dominating the landscapes of North America, the Rocky Mountains stretch over 3,000 miles from the northernmost part of British Columbia, in western Canada, to New Mexico in the southwestern United States. This major mountain range offers some of the highest peaks in central North America, including Mount Elbert and Mount Robson, the latter being the highest point in the Canadian Rockies. Beyond their geographical and ecological significance, the Rockies hold deep cultural importance for the Indigenous peoples who have lived in and around these areas for thousands of years, with the mountains playing central roles in their histories, spiritual lives, and traditions.
