Grand Junction Holidays
West Colorado, the Grand Junction area offers awe-inspiring beauty set in an dramatic red rock landscape. Grand Junction town is delightful with a lovely historic Main Street filled with pretty shops and small cafes.
From here you can explore the Colorado National Monument, a massive sandstone landscape. Sitting in the fertile Grand Valley, Grand Junction is surrounded by 17 wineries, all offering tasting, as well as farms and orchards growing delicious cherries and apples.
Stretching 40 miles east of Grand Junction you can explore The Grand Mesa “an island in the sky”, the largest mesa in the world, filled with forests, lakes and slopes at odds with the surrounding scenery. Rising up to 11,000ft above sea level the spruce trees appear like an alpine oasis in a sapphire sky. Go See!
If you like museums, you’ll love the Museum of Western Colorado which features everything from dinosaur relics to historic farms.
