No, the Rockies are relatively young, as mountains go. They were formed about 70 million years ago. Some think the oldest are the Appalachians, which formed 460 millionyears ago, but one range is much older. This would be the Saint Francois Mountains of southeastern Missouri, a part of the Ozark region. They were formed in Precambrian time, 1.4BILLION years ago.
