The Appalachian Mountains are the scar that runs down the left hand side of the face of North America. That is to say the right hand side of the map, faces being viewed from the owners perspective.
The Appalachian range is actually mostly located in the US but extends into Canada, forming a zone from 100 to 300 mi (160 to 480 km) wide, running from Newfoundland 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 (910 m). The highest of the group is Mount Mitchell at 6,684 feet (2,037 m), which is the highest point in the United States east of the Mississippi River.
So, excitement plus there then!
