The Rockies are a mountain range located in North America, running through the states of Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and a few others. They are characterized by their rugged peaks, deep valleys, and diverse ecosystems, with snow-capped peaks in the winter and lush forests in the summer.
The Rockies are higher in elevation than the Appalachians. The highest peak in the Rockies, Mount Elbert, reaches over 14,000 feet, while the highest peak in the Appalachians, Mount Mitchell, is just over 6,600 feet.
The high plateau between the coastal mountains and the Rockies is called the Intermountain Plateau.
The Appalachian Mountains are located on the east coast of the United States, running through states like Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. The Rocky Mountains, on the other hand, are situated in the western part of North America, stretching from Canada down to New Mexico. The Appalachian Mountains are to the east of the Rockies.

Indeed they are. Misconceptions rise about the same geographic features. Like most names, the Rocky mountains was shortened to the Rockies because people were too lazy to just say Rocky mountains and instead said the Rockies, which leads to misconceptions like this.Similarly, the Canadian Rockies seems to be the preferred term in the US rather than "Canadian Rocky Mountains."
