ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Canadian Rockies

The Canadian Rockies are a big, big, BIG mountain range in the western part of Canada. Mountains are giant, tall hills that go up and up and up into the sky. The Canadian Rockies are so tall that they almost touch the clouds!

These mountains are really special because they have lots of snow and ice on them all year round. That makes them really pretty to look at and also means that there are lots of rivers and lakes that run down from the mountains into the valleys below.

Lots of different animals live in the Canadian Rockies, like bears, elk, moose, and even some cute little squirrels! There are also lots of different kinds of trees and plants that grow in the mountains.

Lots and lots of people like to visit the Canadian Rockies every year to go hiking, fishing, skiing, and just to look at all the pretty scenery. It's a really special place and lots of people think it's one of the most beautiful places on Earth!
