From the high-volume rapids of Cataract Canyon to the man-made reservoirs of Lake Mead and Lake Powell, the Colorado and Green rivers provide more than recreation. They give life.
More than 40 million people rely on the water that once carved a path from the Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of California. Today, the most endangered river in America no longer reaches the sea, its water held in reservoirs used to fuel the expansion of the western United States—and those reservoirs are drying up.
