UNITED

STATES

OF

AMERICA

ROCKY

MOUNTAINS

The United States of America encompasses

a range

of

natural features

thal

have shaped

its

history

in

unmistakable ways. Chief among these features

are the Rocky Mountains and

the lVississippi River, both ol which extend

through the country from the northern

to the

southern

borders. The majestic

Rockies

are

known

as

the

continental

divide,

because

these high

ridges

determine whether rivers llow

east

or

west. The mighty Mississippi, its 3,710

miles

making it the third longest

river in the world, is the watershed lor two-

thirds

of the country.

Physiographically, the United States

is

divided

into

a

number

0f

distinct

regions.

These include

the

Appalachian l\/lountains,

Atlantic

Coastal

Plain,

Gulf Coastal Plain, Central

Lowlands,

Great

Plains, Rocky M0untains, Great

Basin, Pacific

Coast

Range, Alaska, and Hawaii. The states that have been

created within these areas take

their

characters

as much from the land

as

from

the inhabitants.

ALASKA AND HAU/AII

Separated from

the

rest of

the

USA,

Alaska and Hawaii are

worlds

unto

themselves;

and

what

different

worlds they are.

Alaska is

a

world

of

ice

and

snow,

a

land

of

breathtaking beauty

that

is

home

to

abundant

wildlife,

ice-covered Jjords,

dramatic

glaciers

and clear

mountain vistas

punctuated

by the 20,230-f oot Mount lvlcKinley.

Hawaii is

a

world of sun and sea, a tropical

paradise

atop a chain

o{ volcanic

islands.

Here

in the tropics, the Pacific is warm but

trade

winds

cool

the air

to balmy temperatures.

PACIFIC

COAST

Thanks

to

the mountains

that

line

the Pac fic Coast thrs region is

verdant

rather

than arid,

the

Coasta,

barriers, blocking

The

0lympic

Peninsula

protects

Seattle

from the

raw Pacific. Here,

0lympic

National Park contains

the finest remaining stand of Pacilic

Northwest rain forest, active

glaciers,

and scenic ocean shore.

Bisecting the state, the Cascade

Mountains

dominate the horizon with their sharp

peaks.

North Cascades National Park,

with

its abundant rain, is a

playground

for the moisture, {ull

of

waterlalls, ice

The Rocky lV0untains are America's

backbone, an aggressive

young

range

that

extends

north into

Canada

and s0uth

to

the

Texas-Mexico border.

The

states of Montana, ldaho, Wyoming. Colorado, and Utah,

the least

populated

regions

in the

country, all share

in the

alpine

grandeur

ofthese

granite giants,

which attract hikers and sightseers in

the

summer

and skieIs in

the winter.

Utah

lies

at one of

the lowest

p0ints

in the Great Basin 0n

the weslern side

of

the

Rockies.

The shores of

the

Great Salt

Lake that has leeched

here from

the

western sl0pes were made fruitful by

the Mormon settlers,

who

established their reilgious and secular capital in Salt

Lake

City.

The state's

grea'test

glory

lies in

a cluster of

national

parks

in the southeast;

these

carved

rock masterpieces

are monuments

to the

power

of desert

erosion.

C0lorado is the most

mountarnous state; 54

oJ

its

peaks

are over

14,000 feet

high. Denver

is

the

region's largest city. Called

the NIile-High City,

it was

lounded as a rough-and-ready miners' lown and

is now

a

notable cultural

and commercial center. Mining

towns

are testim0nials

to the

mineral fever

thatfired

the area during the 1860s

and'70s;

among

them,

ldaho Springs,

Telluride, and Leadville retain vintage flavor. The

legendary

skiing

towns of

Vail and Aspen

attract athletes

from

around

the world for vigorous

outdoor

sports.

Rocky

Mountains National

Park

attracts

hikers and anglers

to its lorty

heights

and

trout-rich

lakes. The

eastern

of

Wyoming is
