The Canadian Rocky Mountains stretch from British Columbia to Alberta, forming the western portion of the North American Rocky Mountains. This sprawling range is bounded by the Canadian Prairies to the east, the Rocky Mountain Trench to the west, the Liard River to the north, and the Mackenzie Mountains to the northwest.

The Canadian Rockies are a segment of the Rocky Mountains. They extend towards the southeast for about 1,000 miles (1,600 km) in northern British Columbia, Canada, and form nearly half of the 900-mile (1,500-km) border between British Columbia and Alberta.
