Western Mountains
The Western Mountains, primarily located in the western United States, include major ranges such as the Rocky Mountains, Sierra Nevada, and Cascade Range. These mountains are known for their stunning landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and recreational opportunities, attracting hikers, skiers, and nature enthusiasts.
The region is characterized by rugged terrain, high peaks, and deep valleys. Many national parks, such as Yellowstone and Yosemite, preserve the natural beauty and wildlife of the Western Mountains. The area also plays a crucial role in water supply, as snowmelt from these mountains feeds rivers and reservoirs across the region.
