The Colorado River, Mojave language 'Aha Kwahwat, Spanish: Río Colorado (Red River),[6] is a river in the Southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico, approximately 1,450 miles (2,330 km) long,[4] draining a part of the arid regions on the western slope of the Rocky Mountains. The natural course of the river flows from the Continental Divide at La Poudre Pass in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, into the Gulf of California between the Baja California peninsula and mainland Mexico. Large irrigation diversions for California's Imperial Valley through the All-American Canal, and to a much lesser extent irrigation diversions for Arizona, have dewatered the lower course of the river below Yuma, Arizona, resulting in it no longer consistently reaching the Gulf of California.
The watershed of the Colorado River covers 246,000 sq mi (640,000 km2) in parts of seven U.S. states and two Mexican states.[4]
