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 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...
