LONGS PEAK and ROCKY MOUNTAINS:

Longs Peak is the highest peak (14,259 feet) in Rocky Mountain National Park and the northernmost “fourteener” in Colorado. (Source: Britannica.)

The Rocky Mountains is the largest mountain system in North America. It spans several states in the United States, including much of Colorado. (Source: Uncover Colorado.)

The Rocky Mountains formed 80 million to 55 million years ago when a number of plates began sliding underneath the larger North American plate. The angle of reduction was somewhat shallow, which resulted in a vast belt of mountains running through western North America. Further tectonic activity and erosion by glaciers eventually sculpted the Rockies into the striking peaks and valleys we have today.

National parks, public parks, and national forest lands protect much of the mountain range. They are popular tourist destinations for hiking, backpacking, biking, camping, mountaineering, fishing, hunting, skiing, and snowboarding.
