The 'Front Range' is a mountain range on the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains in the United States, and along the western edge of the Great Plains. The range lies within the State of Colorado, and runs roughly north-south, from near the Wyoming-Colorado border to south-central Colorado. The range contains the largest peaks along the eastern edge of the Rockies. The highest mountain peak in the Front Range is Grays Peak. Other notable mountains include Torreys Peak, Mount Evans, Longs Peak, Pikes Peak, and Mount Bierstadt.
The name "Front Range" is also applied to the Front Range Urban Corridor, the populated region of Colorado on the plains just east of the range centered on the city of Denver and extending south to Colorado Springs and Pueblo and north to Ft. Collins.
