The Colorado, at 1,450 miles long, it is America’s Nile. I have a friend who led rafters on it in The Grand Canyon, it flows for 277 miles there. It’s the most contested waterway in America, but nothing can control it or stop it’s 6 million year carving of our land. It provides power to Las Vegas, Phoenix, Denver, Albuquerque and Los Angeles. As you can tell, I love our Colorado River! I love this photo too, huge fav for me.
