The Blue Ridge contains the highest mountains in eastern North America south of Baffin Island. About 125 peaks exceed 5,000 feet (1,500 m) in elevation. The highest peak in the Blue Ridge (and in the entire Appalachian chain) is Mt. Mitchell in North Carolina at 6,684 feet (2,037 m).
Over 50% of the land is still covered by forest land and the only lowlands are in the southeast. The Appalachian Mountains slice through the center of Pennsylvania, with the Allegheny and Pocano Mountains, the state's most significant subranges. The highest point in the state is Mt. Davis, at 3,213 ft. Pine Creek Gorge - often called the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania - is 50 miles in length, and over 1,000 ft deep in places. Blue Mountain is a 150 mile long ridge that forms part of the the eastern edge of the Appalachian mountain range.
