This massive rift is located in New Mexico, USA, and features the iconic Rio Grande (Rio Bravo). Carving its way through the basalt flows of the Taos Plateau volcanic field, this area forms a breathtaking gorge. The Rio Grande, the fourth-largest river in North America, stretches from southern Colorado, winding through New Mexico, Texas, and eventually reaching its mouth in the Gulf of Mexico. Over millennia, the river’s relentless flow has shaped this dramatic landscape, highlighting the powerful forces of nature at work. The gorge is a striking example of how geology and water have sculpted the American Southwest.
