This vast stretch of moutains designated in the Western hemisphere of North America stretches from the northern parts of the Yukon and British Columbia and down into Colorado. Since the Ice Age, the mountain ranges had been inhabitied by many early Native Americ
an tribes. Since the colonial periods, the Rockies have been the site of countless expiditions, fur trade routes and mining. Today, the Rockies are seen for two purposes: First, it's indutrial resources, as countless minerals of gold and copper are being discovered. And second, its recreational use, as the mountains annually draw thousands of tourists who wish to ski, hunt and hike all up and down the mountain slopes. But above all else one can not take away from the beautiful scenery that the Rocky Mountains provides with a vast number of wild rivers, forestry and wildlife.
