No. The Grand Canyon is in Western Arizona. and the Colorado river runs from the rockies in Colorado, through Utah and into Arizona without ever entering New Mexico.

Next time, consult a map. It shouldn't be difficult.

No.

The Colorado River, and the beginning of the Grand Canyon, starts in north central Arizona at Hoover Dam (Page, AZ.) and runs south through Arizona for about 50 miles, the further south it flows the more it becomes the "Grand Canyon". It turns west and continues winding through the north western part of Arizona.

It comes to an end at Lake Mead, near the Nevada/Arizona border.

At it's closest point, it is still about 150 miles from the Arizona/New Mexico border.

Glen Canyon dam is in Page Az. Near the Az. Utah border.

Hoover dam is at the other end, and forms Lake mead.
