The general term for these mountains in North America is the Pacific Coast Ranges, which run from the Gulf of Alaska to Panama : - The Chugach Mountains of Alaska - The Saint Elias Mountains of Alaska and west-central Canada (includes Mount Logan) - The Cascades range of Canada, Washington, Oregon, and northern California, along with lower mountains of the Insular range of British Columbia, the Olympic Mountains of western Washington, the Klamath Mountains, the Oregon Coast Range and the California Coast Range - The Santa Lucia Range of central California - The Sierra Nevada range of southern California - The Sierra Madre range of southern California - The Peninsular Range of California and Mexico - The Sierra Madre Occidental of Mexico - The Sierra Madre del Sur in Mexico In South America, the major range is the Andes, along with the Cordillera Occidental of Peru and the Chilean Coastal ranges such as the Vizcachas and Pirulil mountains.
The Rocky Mountains, known as Sierra Madre Occidental in Mexico, qualify as such. These run from British Columbia in Canada, down to New Mexico in the southwestern United States, to southern Mexico.
