Rio Grande, fifth longest river of North America, and the th longest in the world, forming the border between the US state of Texas and Mexico The total length of the river is about 1,900 miles (3,060 km), and the area within the entire watershed of the Rio Grande is some 336,000 square miles (870,000 square km)The Rio is a major migratory waterfowl flyway, so in the fall you start to see large groups of Canada geese and Sandhill cranes along with the usual scattering of ducks It isn't unusual to see a beaver or two It is unusual to see anyone else on the river If you don't take out at the Alameda bridge and want to keep on going through the cityThe Rio Grande River flows out of Southern Colorado's San Luis Valley into the 70 mile long Rio Grande Gorge, a sheer canyon running parallel to and slightly west of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains near Taos The Rio Grande Gorge is the epitome of wild freestone river fishing Uncontrolled by dams for the most part, the river is influenced almost completely by nature
