Colorado Part 5, Lake Havasu City, California/Arizona border, and straight on to the end of the river. At first, I planned this as 2 flights. Then I checked out the Albatross and combined them into one.
I was surprised when I realized we have not done this river yet (have we?). This will take us on an amazing journey including the length of the Grand Canyon in a few short weeks.
From Wikipedia:
Known for its dramatic canyons, whitewater rapids, and eleven U.S. National Parks, the Colorado River and its tributaries are a vital source of water for 40 million people. An extensive system of dams, reservoirs, and aqueducts divert almost its entire flow for agricultural irrigation and urban water supply. Its large flow and steep gradient are used to generate hydroelectricity, meeting peaking power demands in much of the Intermountain West. Intensive water consumption has dried up the lower 100 miles (160 km) of the river, which has rarely reached the sea since the 1960s.
