Share Appalachian Mountains. The Appalachian Mountains extend from Alabama to Newfoundland, and westward from the Piedmont to the Midwest. Elevations range as high as 6,684 feet in North Carolina, 5,729 feet in Virginia, and 4,861 feet in West Virginia.
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.
