The term refers to the fact that the Rocky Mountains, which range from northwestern Canada to the US state of New Mexico, are located almost entirely in the time zone. Specifically, it is Mountain Standard Time (MST) when observing standard time (winter), and Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) when observing daylight saving time (spring, summer, fall).

In the United States and Canada, this time zone is generically called Mountain Time (MT). The clock time in this zone is based on the mean solar time at the 105th meridian west of the Greenwich Observatory. The Mountain Time Zone of North America keeps time by subtracting seven hours from Greenwich Mean Time, during the shortest days of autumn and winter ( UTC−07), and by subtracting six hours during daylight saving time in the spring, summer, and early autumn ( UTC−06). DST is observed in certain regions of this time zone between the 2nd Sunday in March and the 1st Sunday in November.
