Detailed explanation-1: -The Snake River is a major river of the greater Pacific Northwest region in the United States. At 1, 078 miles (1, 735 km) long, it is the largest tributary of the Columbia River, in turn, the largest North American river that empties into the Pacific Ocean.
Detailed explanation-2: -Further downstream, the Clearwater and other rivers dump their flows into the Snake River, creating the Columbia River’s largest tributary. (The total drainage area is approximately the size of Oregon.)
Detailed explanation-3: -It joins the Columbia River at Columbia River Mile (RM) 325, near Pasco, Washington, at 340 feet in elevation and 1, 036 miles from its source. The Snake River is the largest tributary of the Columbia River, with a total drainage area about the size of the State of Oregon.
