Here, at the very birth of the Colorado River, Expedition Blue Planet: North America documents how man has managed this river through history and into modern day. Alexandra and her team are joined in the headwaters of the Colorado River by four powerful regional voices:

• John Echohawk, Executive Director of the Native American Rights Fund
• Taylor Hawes, Director, The Nature Conservancy’s Colorado River Program
• Kara Lamb, Communications and Public Involvement Specialist, Bureau of Reclamation, Fort Collins
• Patty Limerick, Faculty Director and Chair of the Board of the Center of the American West at the University of Colorado
