While the exact range of the Appalachians varies depending on how broadly they are defined, they stretch from the southern tip of Alabama all the way up to the Canadian Maritimes, passing through every state in the Northeast.
Here are some examples:
* Maine: The White Mountains are part of the Appalachians.
* New Hampshire: The White Mountains are also a prominent feature in this state.
* Vermont: The Green Mountains run the length of the state and are part of the Appalachian chain.
* Massachusetts: While not as dramatically mountainous as its northern neighbors, Massachusetts has foothills and ridges belonging to the Appalachians.
* Rhode Island: Though mostly coastal plain, Rhode Island has some low-lying hills that are part of the Appalachian system.
* Connecticut: The state features a distinct "central lowland" valley surrounded by hills and ridges that are part of the Appalachian Mountains.
* New York: The Appalachian Mountains extend into the state, with the Catskill Mountains being a notable example.
* New Jersey: The state's northwestern region contains the Appalachian Highlands, a section of the Appalachian plateau.
* Pennsylvania: The state has a large portion of the Appalachian Mountains, including the Allegheny Mountains.
So, while the Northeast isn't known for its towering peaks like the Rockies, the presence of the Appalachian Mountains is a defining characteristic of the region.
