Grand Canyon 5

The Colorado River flows 1,450 miles from Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, through southeast Utah and then the 217 miles of the Grand Canyon, then turns south to become the border between Arizona and Nevada, the border between Arizona and California, then the border between Baja, California and Sonora, Mexico, before it empties into the sea.

Well, not really. Because by the time the river has satisfied irrigation needs along the way--especially in California's Imperial Valley--it is reduced to a trickling stream or a dry creek bed.
