Colorado Gorge, Arizona

    Article

    The Colorado Gorge probably refers to the Colorado River Gorge in northeastern Arizona. Geologically created by the Little Colorado River, a tributary of the Colorado River, which forms the Grand Canyon, the Colorado River Gorge is a much narrower and smaller canyon than the Grand Canyon, and it is located southeast from the Grand Canyon National Park.
