Description
A winter sunset over Longs Peak and Mt. Meeker in northern Colorado. The Rocky Mountains are a major mountain range in western North America. These mountain peaks stretch more than 3,000 miles from the northernmost part of British Columbia, in western Canada, to New Mexico, in the southwestern United States. Within the North American Cordillera, the Rockies are distinct from the Pacific Coast Ranges, the Cascade Range and the Sierra Nevada Range which all lie farther to the west.
The Rockies were initially formed from 80 million to 55 million years ago during the Laramide orogeny, in which a number of tetonic plates began to slide underneath the North American plate. The shallow angle of subduction resulted in a broad belt of mountains running down western North America. Since then, further geologic activity and erosion by glaciers have sculpted the Rockies into dramatic peaks and valleys.
At the end of the last ice age, humans started to inhabit the mountain ranges and after Europeans, such as Sir Alexander Mackenzie and the Lewis and Clark expedition, started to explorations, minerals and furs drove the initial economic exploitation of the mountains, although the Mountain ranges themselves never became densely populated until much later.
