Answer:

The Rocky Mountains are a western region of the United States of America, and offer skiing in the winter, biking, hiking, camping, kayaking, Horse-back riding, white water rafting, and covered wagon trains in the summer.

The Rocky Mountains are huge, ranging 3,000 miles from British Columbia to New Mexico, and as high as 14,440 feet above sea level (Mt Elbert in Colorado). For the past four centuries, visitors have come from the long flat plains in the east to the shocking and iconic wall of the Front Range just east of the continental divide-the Cheyenne aptly called the mountains, "Rock on the Horizon." It's hard to say how many trails there are,some get closed down and there are many added each year.

Pick an area that you like and research that area for "Trails".
