The mountains in Arizona are not directly part of the Rocky Mountains, but they are related to them through regional geology and geography. The Rocky Mountains are primarily located in the western United States and Canada, stretching from New Mexico up to Alaska. However, Arizona has its own mountain ranges, including the San Francisco Peaks and the White Mountains, which are part of the larger Colorado Plateau.
These Arizona mountain ranges were formed by similar geological processes that created the Rockies, such as volcanic activity and tectonic movements. So while they share certain geological characteristics and are in proximity, the mountains in Arizona are distinct and part of a different geological framework.
