Colorado; river, one of the great rivers of the continent. It 
takes its source in two main branches — Green River, which 
heads in the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming, and Grand 
River, which heads in Middle Park, Colorado. The former, 
after traversing Green River Basin, cuts a gorge through the 
Uinta Range, a great east and west anticlinal uplift. Then 
it crosses successively three inclined plateaus, dipping north 
and cliffing on the south. Below the foot of the lower of 
these it is joined by Grand River, which has had equally as 
obstructed a course. The Colorado thenceforward traverses 
a series of canyons, which are successively deeper, produced 
by monoclinal folds and faults, until the Grand Canyon is 
reached. Here it canyons through a plateau 8,000 feet high, 
the gorge being 6,000 feet deep. It leaves this region by 
crossing a succession of folds and faults, here descending to 
the westward, and reaches the level of the country again at 
the mouth of the Grand Wash in Arizona. It receives 
many large branches, among them Yampa, White, Uinta, 
Price, Fremont, and San Juan rivers, in this part of its course. 
The length of Green River, from the head of Green River 
Basin to its junction with Grand River, is 720 miles; that of 
Grand River is 348 miles, and that of the Colorado, from the 
junction of the Grand and Green to its mouth, is 1,080 miles.
