Layers of shale, sedimentary rock and red slickrock sandstone, holding countless dinosaur bones, dominate Grand Junction. From rusty oranges to brilliant reds, colors light up the terrain. At the Colorado National Monument, drive Rim Rock Drive for haunting views of sandstone monoliths and red rock canyons. Along the Colorado River are bike paths, places to bird watch or fish. Try boating or canoeing on the river. For mountain bikers, the Kokopelli's Trail is a 136-miles trek to Moab, Utah. Or try 4-wheel driving at the Little Book Cliffs Wild Horse Range, 8 miles north of town. The Unaweep/Tabeguache Scenic and Historic Byway, a 138-mile route, begins just outside of Grand Junction. It follows the course of Unaweep Canyon, through the vivid red desert of the Dolores River Canyon, opening up on the high plains. Opportunities to discover nature in Grand Junction are endless. Skiiers will enjoy Powderhorn Resort, only 35 miles southeast of Grand Junction.
Today, the mainstay of the community can be found in the acres of apricots, cherries, grapes and peaches sold around the country. Discover one of Colorado's best kept secrets: wineries. In nearby Palisade are five vineyards with tasting rooms and winery tours. Be sure and visit the newly opened Devil's Canyon Science and Learning Center in Fruita where you can go back in time to when dinosaurs roamed. Also nearby is one of Colorado's beautiful Rifle Falls, located just a few miles west of I-70 in Rifle, Colorado.
Commercial air travel accommodations are handled by Grand Junction/Walker Field Airport. Please contact your preferred travel agent or airline for flight arrangements.
