The Misty Mountains are a prominent mountain range in Middle-earth, a fictional world created by J.R.R. Tolkien. They stretch from Eriador in the north to Rohan in the south, serving as a natural barrier between various regions. The mountains are known for their towering peaks, dense forests, and frequent fog, which gives them their name. In the stories, the Misty Mountains are home to various creatures and races, including Dwarves who inhabit the underground city of Moria. The range plays a significant role in the adventures of characters like Frodo Baggins and Gandalf, as they journey through its treacherous paths and hidden dangers.
