The Rocky Mountain Region.

The Rockies are among the earth’s youngest mountains. They have steep slopes and many peaks and picturesque valleys. The region is very sparcely populated. Most of the population is engaged in mining, cattle-breeding and farming.

The Rocky Mountain region includes five states: Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah,and Colorado.

Wyoming is called “The Equality State”, the first state to give women the right to vote.

Colorado is the highest state in the country, there are 52 peaks there.

Utah is called “The Salt Lake State”.

Montana is “The Treasure State” as in the middle of the 19^th century gold was discovered there. Cold winters with considerable snowfall are typical for the climate of the state. There were seven Indian reservations.

The Pacific Northwest and Alaska.

This region is noted for its natural beauty: high steep mountains, forests and greatly indented coastlines. Portland and Seattle are important ports for trade with Asia.

This region includes three states: Washington, Oregonand Alaska.

Alaska is the largest outer state.

California and Hawaii.

These two states are grouped together mainly because they are relatively near each other: California is a state which is situated nearer to Hawaii than any other state. They are not alike: California is one of the largest and most populated states; Hawaii is one of the smallest and least populated ones. Yet there is one thing these two states have in common: lots of sun and sand.

California is called “The Golden State” as it has gold mines on its territory. Gold-rush days made the state famous. The capital of the state is Sacramento. The motion picture capital is Los Angeles with its major centers in Hollywood. Another amazing city is San Francisco with its islands of exotic beauty and the famous bridge “Golden Gates”.
