Rio Grande
The
Rio Grande
( or ; , or simply
Río Bravo
) is one of the principal
rivers
in the
southwest United States
and northern
Mexico
(the other being the
Colorado River
). The Rio Grande rises from south-central
Colorado
in the
United States
and flows to the
Gulf of Mexico
. Along the way, it forms part of the
Mexico–United States border
. According to the
International Boundary and Water Commission
, its total length was in the late 1980s, though course shifts occasionally result in length changes. Depending on how it is measured, the Rio Grande is the fourth- or fifth-longest river system in North America.
