Episode Description

Over 1,400 miles, the Colorado River has carved some of the most dramatic landscapes on Earth and enabled life across the American Southwest.

It shaped canyons, powered cities, irrigated farms, and became the center of one of the most important water disputes in modern history.

From the Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of California, its story is one of exploration, engineering, politics, and survival in a harsh, unforgiving environment.
