Some things we have learned about the mountains in Colorado.


The tallest mountain in the state of Colorado is Pike's Peak.

The Rocky Mountains run right through the state of Colorado.

The width of the Rocky Mountain Range is 122km to 650km.


There is tectonic plate movement in the Rocky Mountains.


The Rocky Mountains are 4800km from northern BC in Canada to Mexico.

The average temperature in winter in Colorado is 33.4 degrees F, but in the mountains it is usually colder because it is at a higher altitude.
