Rocky Mountains' Full Span
■■■■■
The perceived full geographical span of the Rocky Mountains, particularly how far south they extend into the US and even Mexico, is often misremembered.
●
What People Remember
People recall the Rockies as ending more abruptly in the US, or not extending as far south as they do.
◉
What's Actually True
The Rocky Mountains stretch over 4,800 kilometers (3,000 miles) from the northernmost parts of British Columbia, Canada, to New Mexico in the United States, with extensions into Mexico as the Sierra Madre Oriental.
