Grand Junction, Colorado has some of the most awe inspiring scenery on the face of the planet. Weather it’s the brilliant Grand Mesa, the world’s largest flat top mountain, or the breath taking Colorado National Monument, Grand Junction is the place to go to get the full view of Colorado. Grand Junction is the perfect vacation spot to take in the west.

National Monument/Grand Mesa

The best possible way to start out your Grand Junction vacation would be seeing its two most famous attractions, The Colorado National Monument, and the Grand Mesa. The Colorado National Monument is a breath taking 23,000 mile stretch of geological wonder. Over billions of years, the sandstone in the monument has been eroded to create some fantastic formations. One of the best formations is the Grand Mesa, a photographic 10,000 ft. flat top mountain. Grand Mesa is also known for its beautiful forests, and pristine rivers, and lakes.

Rafting

Grand Junction has many fun and exciting things to offer, but one of the most popular and most exciting activities is rafting down the famous Colorado River. Perhaps it’s because the Colorado has many long stretches of gentle waters so that even the least experienced rafter can enjoy themselves? Or it could be that Grand Junction has some of the best whitewater rafting out there? Either way, Grand Junction has everything you need to enjoy the Colorado River. Tours are available with experience tour guides.

Hiking

Some of the best hiking in the United States is located in Grand Junction, or more specifically, the Colorado National Monument. Grand Junction has trails for all ages, and ability levels. Whether you want to take a nice breezy stroll or decent hundreds of feet into the valley, The Colorado Nation Monument has everything you need.

Biking

Don’t feel like walking through the National Monument? Why not bike it. Grand Junction is known for its serious mountain biking, with trails such as Kokopelli. Yet, Grand Junction is not without its easy tracks; less experienced bikers can ride the paved trails along the Colorado River, thus still enjoying the natural beauty of Grand Junction, without exerting as much energy.

Golf

As in most resorts in the West, Grand Junction Colorado has many fantastic Golf Courses to choose from, such as the Chipeta, and Lincoln Park courses. Most of the courses are reasonably priced and off a wide range of locations and visuals to see every golfer, and vacationer’s needs.
