The Canadian portion of the famous Rocky Mountains run approximately 1,000 miles from the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta with the highest peak being Mount Robson at 12,972 feet. The Canadian Rocky Mountains offer some of the most spectacular natural scenic vistas in the country and are home to many national parks including Banff, Jasper, Kootenay and Yoho. In addition to Waterton Lakes National Park, these parks were designated a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization World Heritage Site.
The Rocky Mountains (or Rockies) in Western North America have been around for more than 55 million years. This majestic and imposing 3000-mile range extends from British Columbia in Canada to New Mexico in the United States.
