Course of the Colorado River
The Colorado River is a major river of the western United States and northwest Mexico in North America. Its source is La Poudre Pass Lake. Located in the Rocky Mountains of north-central Colorado, it flows southwest through the Colorado Plateau country of western Colorado, southeastern Utah, and northwestern Arizona, where it flows through the Grand Canyon. It turns south near Las Vegas, Nevada, forming the Arizona–Nevada border in Lake Mead and the Arizona–California border a few miles below Davis Dam between Laughlin, Nevada and Needles, California, before entering Mexico in the Colorado Desert. Most of its waters are diverted into the Imperial Valley of Southern California. In Mexico, its course forms the boundary between Sonora and Baja California before entering the Gulf of California.
