Colorado River: Where Does It End? Gulf of California Explained

No, the Colorado River does not flow into the ocean. Instead, it ends in a delta in the Gulf of California, which is an arm of the Pacific Ocean. The Colorado River is one of the major rivers of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. It flows for over 1,450 miles (2,334 km) from its headwaters in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado to its terminus in the Gulf of California. Along its course, the Colorado River passes through several states and national parks, including Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and California. It also forms the border between Arizona and Nevada.
