The highest point between the Appalachian Mountains and the Rocky Mountains is the Continental Divide, which runs through the Rocky Mountains. The highest peak in this range is Mount Elbert in Colorado, standing at 14,440 feet (4,401 meters). The Appalachian Mountains, while rugged, do not reach such elevations, with Mount Mitchell in North Carolina being the highest point at 6,684 feet (2,037 meters). Thus, the Rocky Mountains significantly surpass the Appalachian Mountains in elevation.
Mount Magazine, Arkansas?
The Appalachian Mountains are a great deal older than the Rockies.
The Rockies!
the rock mountains are the highest of the three. the second highest is the sierra nevada, third highest is the appalachian mountains
about how many miles seperate the appalachian mountains from the rocky mountains at their closest point?
No. The Appalachian mountains are not as tall or as long a mountain range as the rocky mountains.
the rocky mountains are higher because the rocky are 14,400 and the appalachian is 3,000
U tell me dawg
The rockies are much higher. the highest point in the Appalachian is in NC Mount Mitchell - 6,684 feetwhile the highest point in the Rocky mountains is in Colorado Mount Elbert - 14,433 feet But this is not the highest point in the lower 48. That would be in the sierra Nevada range in California Mount Whitney - 14,494 feet
