Not except in the sense that the Nile River could be in South America (which it is not). The Mississippi River runs from central Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico, and is at no point particularly close to the Pacific Ocean.

The closest any major tributary of the Mississippi gets to the Pacific is the headwaters of the Gallatin River (one of the three rivers that combine to form the Missouri) in southwestern Montana. In order to reach the Pacific from there you'd still have to cross the Continental Divide.

What else can I help you with?
