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.
