*** About The Rocky Mountains: The Rocky Mountains stretch some 3,000 miles from British Columbia and Alberta in Canada, through Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and down to New Mexico in the United States. Known for their dramatic peaks, the Rockies were formed over millions of years through the gradual process of tectonic plate uplift and erosion. Home to an extensive range of flora and fauna, they draw millions of tourists annually, attracted by the breathtaking vistas, extensive hiking trails, skiing, and rich biodiversity.
