Major mountain ranges in the Eastern United States include the Appalachian Mountains. In the Western United States, major mountain ranges include the Rocky Mountains, Sierra Nevada, Cascade Range, and the Coast Range.
The western half of the United States is more mountainous. It includes the younger mountain ranges such as the Rocky Mountains, the Sierra Nevada, the Sierra Madre, and the Cascades of Washington and Oregon.
There are several mountains that follow the California coastline. These mountains are the Sierra Nevada, the Cascades, and the Klamath Mountains.
Most of the mountain ranges in the US are located in the western half, including the Rocky Mountains, Sierra Nevada, Cascades, and Coast Range.
The simple answer is NO. The Rockies do not encompass any portion of Nevada. The Major Range is the Sierra Nevada's that are more closely linked to the Siskiyous and they in turn are linked to the cascades. The closet area that the Rockies could be linked to is in the eastern most portion of the state through the great basin area but here again they are not linked.
