The Delta

Len's journey begins near Mexico's Sea of Cortez, where the Colorado River once flowed but has now literally run dry. After meeting with conservation groups to understand how one country is advocating for its long-neglected access to Colorado River water, Len gravel bikes his way toward the other side of the border, where the river's power to fuel one of the U.S.'s largest agricultural regions is on full display in California's Imperial Valley.
