Answer 1

Río Colorado (3 separate rivers) ? (1).Mexico/Texas/Colorado/Utah/Nevada/Arizona, (2).Costa Rica and (3).Argentina

Texas

Costa Rica

Argentina

Muy bien. You beat me to it. I believe there is one in Arizona as well. :) - Nicole-B, Feb 20, 2011

The one that runs through Texas is actually the same one as that which runs through Arizona. The ones in Costa Rica and Argentina are distinct rivers, however - Izanoni1, Feb 20, 2011

Oh, ok. That is one area of the country I still haven't had the pleasure of visiting. Hopefully, one day I will be able to visit western U.S. - Nicole-B, Feb 20, 2011

I wouldn't mind seeing the Colorado rivers of Costa Rica or Argentina either. :) - Nicole-B, Feb 20, 2011

Having lived in Austin, I have seen it plenty of times but I would love to see it where it runs through the Grand Canyon in Arizona (which is where, if I am not mistaken, your pic was taken) - Izanoni1, Feb 20, 2011

Great job, Izanoni!!!. There is one in Chile according to this source http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Río_Colorado_(Chile) - Fidalgo, Feb 21, 2011

Answer 2

Rio Colorado, Argentina

Another gorgeous landscape, but this Colorado river is much smaller than the one in Texas...of course they do say that "everything is bigger in Texas" ;) - Izanoni1, Feb 20, 2011

That is why you have such a big heart Ira! :) - Nicole-B, Feb 20, 2011

Answer 4

Colorado River, Arizona

¡Qué impresionante! :) - Izanoni1, Feb 20, 2011

This is a beautiful picture. This must be near the most western or eastern end of the river. At the Grand Canyon Park area, the canyon is one mile deep and many miles across. Quite breaktaking. I hiked to the bottom once, 4 1/2 hours down and nine - Leeh, Feb 20, 2011

nine hours up and out. It was all I could do to make that out trip and that was when I was a young man. - Leeh, Feb 20, 2011
