If the Rockies are said to extend all the way to Alaska, Mt. Elbert isn't the tallest mountain, is it? What about the many taller peaks in Canada and Alaska? --LMS


I find the tallest peak in the Canadian Rocies listed as Mt. Robson at less than 13000 feet. Canada's tallest peak, Mt Logan is in the St. Elias Mountains. It may depend on our exact definition of mountain ranges.

It appears that the Rockies in Alaska are called the Brooks Range, with maximum heights around 10000 feet. Taller mountains are in the Alaska Range.


For everyone in the world other than Americans, shouldn't peaks be given in metric?
