Experience Grand Junction, Colorado

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.
