Mt. Rushmore of American Rivers
The only rule:
The river must have the majority of it's length, but not necessarily all, in the U.S. Mississippi River Colorado River Hudson River Delaware River

Wow. No love for the Ohio. The French and Indian War was fought primarily over the control over the Forks of the Ohio. It helped lead the western expansion into new territory following the war. It's still a major trade route through the midwest. Other than the Mississippi, I can't think of a more influential river.
My list: Mississippi Ohio Missouri Colorado |

Is it okay to find it hilarious, that your River MRs could double as a state MR ?

Mississippi (Missouri is off the hook because Mississippi drains it)
Colorado Columbia Yukon So you have the major rivers of central and SE US, SW US, NW US, and of Alaska. |

Any river that has one of my shoes, and a loaf of my poop in it does not belong on this list. Sorry Delaware.

There's no way to not include the Missouri River (of Lewis and Clark fame).

As someone who loves to canoe, kayak, and whitewater raft, my Mt. Rushmore of rivers would be very different than yours and would include the
New River is my clear #1, and then it varies from there by your personal preference There are places where the Colorado is really good. The Arkansas. There's a couple near Seward Alaska that are prime, etc.

The New is great for that stuff. When I worked summers in NC there was always a trip to the New.
