Colorado River
The Rocky Mountains are found in the west of the United States and Canada.
If you mean the Columbia River along the Oregon/Washington border, The river rises in the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia, Canada, flows northwest and then south into the U.S. state of Washington, then turns west to form most of the border between Washington and the state of Oregon before emptying into the Pacific Ocean.
A map of the Rocky Mountains would have a small contour interval because of the multiple peaks and ridges and the constant increase of elevation.

Two rivers that flow into the Pacific Ocean are St. Mary's River and the Margaree River.
Colorado River
The continental divide is an imaginary line that separates the direction in which water flows on the North American continent. Water on one side of the divide flows towards one ocean, while water on the other side flows towards a different ocean.
By, for example, draining into rivers.
The following are the major westard-bound rivers of the Continental Divide which are flowing towards the Pacific Ocean.Colorado River - principal river of SW US flows through the Grand Canyon draining into the Gulf of California and joins the PacificColumbia River - largest of the rivers starts in British Columbia, through Washington, and Oregon before emptying into the Pacific. Snake River is its largest tributary.Fraser River - longest river within British Columbia, empties into the Pacific at the city of Vancouver.Yukon River - starts in British Columbia, flows through Alaska, empties into the Bering Sea and joins the Pacific.
The rocky mountains are the greatest source of rivers in the west. The rocky mountains form the continental divide.
In the USA, the "continental divide" is the Rocky Mountains range of mountains. East of that, all rivers flow to the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico. West of the "Continental Divide", rivers flow west into the Pacific Ocean.
The Continental Divide is the US ridge that separates east-flowing rivers from west-flowing rivers. This divide runs along the crest of the Rocky Mountains and determines the direction in which water flows towards the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.
The Great Divide is a hydrologic boundary defined by the ultimate destination of precipitation; rainfall on the western side of the Divide flows to the Pacific Ocean, while rainfall on the eastern side flows to the Gulf of Mexico.

Both the North and South Platte Rivers have their source in Colorado.
It flows from the high Rocky Mountains to the desert southwest.
