There is no universally accepted hierarchical division of the Canadian Rockies into subranges. [1] [2] For ease of navigation only, this article follows [1] and divides the Canadian Rockies into Far Northern Rockies, Northern Continental Ranges, Central Main Ranges, Central Front Ranges and Southern Continental Ranges, each of these subdivided in distinct areas and ranges.
The peaks of the Canadian Rockies are majestic, many of them reaching a height of more than three kilometres above sea level.
