The Rocky Mountain is a mountain range that extends from the northwest of Canada down towards the New Mexico in the United States. The mountain range travels in a northwest and southeast direction. On the west side of the mountain there lies the Great Basin and on the east the Great Plains. The plant life is largely effected by the altitude of where the plants reside. The Rockies is rich in minerals of all kinds and is mined for its resources. California also was largely populated because of the prospect of gold. Migrating from east coast to the west coast you must pass the Rocky Mountains, unless you go down towards New Mexico where the Rockies stops.
