Appalachian

Appalachian is mostly located in the United States but extends into southeastern Canada, forming a zone from 100to 300 miles wide, running from the island of Newfoundland 1,500 miles south-westward to central Alabama in the United States. The system is divided into a series of ranges, with the individual mountains averaging around 3,000 ft. The highest of the group is Mount Mitchell in North Carolina at 6,684 feet, which is the highest point in the United States east of the Mississippi River.
