Why do people think that the Rockies can be seen from Vancouver?
I’ve met more than enough people, adults included, who believe for whatever reasons that the Rocky Mountains can be seen from Vancouver. Why? Haven’t they looked at a map? How on Earth could someone possibly see them from Vancouver? Vancouver is in the very south-western corner of the entire country of Canada. The Rockies are on the border between B.C. and Alberta.
People tend to refer to all the west coast mountain chains as “the Rockies”. They don’t realize that there are actually multiple chains. They think that because they can see mountains from Vancouver, they must be the Rockies.
