Grand Junction Colorado Tourism

Grand Junction is located in the Grand Valley, formed by the confluence of the Colorado and Gunnison Rivers. It is a natural base camp for exploring the unique attractions of N.W. Colorado and offers some unique experiences of its own.

If you’ve already explored the natural beauty of nearby Grand Mesa and the Colorado National Monument, check out the Little Bookcliffs / Wild Horse Range north of town. Four-wheel drive roads and trails access the natural habitat of wild mustangs.

The nearby Colorado River State Parks offer water sports, fishing, camping and picnicking: Corn Lake (on the river at 32 road, day use only); Highline State Park (Loma), Island Acres State Park (Palisade) Colorado River State Park (Fruita) and Vega State Park (Collbran).

The tree-lined Downtown Shopping Park, a model for walking malls in several U.S. cities (including Denver), is the home of Colorado’s largest and most diverse outdoor display of sculptured art.

For kids of all ages, try Rimrock Adventures. Rimrock offers rafting trips, wildlife museum, old west cook-outs, horseback rides and a weekly rodeo.

Be sure to taste some of the fruits of the lush, irrigated Grand Valley at one of 19 wineries and vineyards through-out nearby Palisade. All feature tasting rooms and all tours are free.
