The Blue River is a tributary of the Colorado River, approximately 65 miles long, in the U.S. state of Colorado.

The Roberts Tunnel is a trans-basin diversion, built by Denver Water in 1962, that diverts water under the Continental Divide from the Colorado River basin into the South Platte River Basin. The east portal is approximately one mile upstream of Grant, Colorado.
