Colorado River

The Colorado River is a main river in Nevada, Arizona, and Colorado. The Hoover Dam was built on this river.

Political importance
The Colorado River forms the dividing line between the New California Republic's forts, and the Legion's offensive camps. Neither side is willing to strike at the other over the river, forming the stalemate that Fallout: New Vegas is set around.

Layout
There is a path leading down to the river just north of the Abandoned BoS Bunker. If you head north along the river towards the Hoover Dam, you will come across a cove on the east side with Lakelurks and two explosives crates with some loot in them. If you head south on the west side just past the short narrow part (bottleneck) of the river you can find hidden in the weeds on the upper bank next to a skeleton, a half buried duffle bag of loot (a Lakelurk may be nearby to the south). Further south on the east side of the river you will come across a place where you can easily climb up. In this area are many Xander Roots and Broc Flowers. There are also many deathclaws here, which may be too numerous to fight effectively. This area is described in full detail in Deathclaw Promontory. Farther to the south, directly across the river from Blue Paradise Vacation Rentals is a cove filled with Lakelurks. In the cave behind the wrecked boat is a dead Mercenary and two duffle bags full of loot. All of this was found before the Courier gains access to the east bank of the river by Caesar's Legion. Pinto Beans can be found along the river banks.

Appearances
The Colorado River appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * It is possible for companions to get stuck and and apparently fall into the cliffs overlooking the river (Confirmed for Lily). Waiting a few in game days will usually fix this and they will return to their home.
