ai generated text

The Rocky Mountains are a major mountain range and the largest mountain system in North America, stretching 3,000 miles from western Canada to New Mexico. The range was formed 55-80 million years ago during the Laramide orogeny, when multiple plates slid underneath the North American plate, resulting in a broad belt of mountains. The Rockies contain the highest peaks in central North America, with Mount Elbert in Colorado being the highest peak at 4,401 meters, and are protected by public parks and forest lands, making them a popular tourist destination for various outdoor activities.learn more on wikipedia
