The water for the Rio Grande River originates from the San Juan Mountains of Colorado, much of that from the snowpack. Summer flows are helped out by the monsoon season.
I never swam there but in the early 70's in El Paso. And did the river raft race there too. But my favorite places were the alto frio river, llano river (Flat rock, and dam in Junction). Texas. Good times
Yep, Rio Grande River! Rio Grande could be Rio Grande Valley, Rio Grande High School, Rio Grande Silvery Minnow, Rio Grande etc, so technically, Rio Grande River!
Was looking for Rio Grande, and this was excactly the kind of thing I was hoping to find. Really beautiful put together.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it
Really lovely river... From Italy😊
Beautiful
This is amazing. I’ve recently been exploring the pecks river water shed. This is a whole another scale!
Pecos
@@andreisharma as it crosses interstate 20 in TX, it's mostly dry or mud ... sad
So unfortunate the rio grande doesn’t look nearly as good as this once it hits Texas
1:21 is this in Colorado? It's not the gorge I'm used to. Thanks for sharing.
I used to live (1981~'83) near Quest, NM the gorge there is 600'
Amazing footage 👏
well done
I hike down to the Rio grande at the gorge at Wild Rivers. Where does it dry out? Why?
The Rio Grande often dries out south of Albuquerque down to Elephant Butte.
So you’re telling me the the rio grande dries out each year?
Yes, just south of Albuquerque starting in the growing season.
I thought the water was pumped back into the river during the summer. It just got filled up.

How would one go about getting permission to use this video in another video about the Rio?

Is this the only river that dry/dies or is it because it is in the dessert
The river dries for several reasons. It is is a desert, but goes dry mostly because water is removed to irrigate crops.
@@TomKennedysScience it dries up so much but yet when it gets to south Texas there is water I never understood where the dam is located
i learned to swim here.
