The Appalachian Mountains are nearly 2000 miles long. While you may think of “Appalachia” as a region of the southern United States, the full Appalachian Mountains have a massive (not to mention international!) footprint. At their northern tip, they rise in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. From there, they wind south, all the way to central Alabama. All told, the range cuts through 18 American states and five Canadian provinces.
