Does the Colorado River go all the way to the Pacific Ocean?

I live way out east. I read that people are sucking the Colorado River dry before it ever reaches he ocean.

Technically the Gulf of California. Which connects to the Pacific ocean.

It goes to the Gulf of California (between Baja California and the rest of Mexico) which is connected to the Pacific.

It empties into the Gulf of California. Despite agreements with Mexico that the flow should be guaranteed at a certain level, there ain't much there!

The last I heard the Colorado River is a mere trickle by the time it reaches the Gulf of California. This is a shame, for just last summer I was at Phantom Ranch at the bottom of Grand Canyon and it is a mighty river at that point.

Indeed, it is but a trickle which sometimes soaks into the sand before it actually reaches the ocean. The United States allocates more water from the river than now flows in a typical year. (Allocations were based on a time when the flow rate was higher.) That doesn't mean we always use the full allocation but we certainly use up most of it...and what we don't use gets sucked up by Mexico.

Obviously, this is a huge political and ecological issue.
