Things To Do
Colorado National Monument
Highly recommend! A very scenic area right outside of Grand Junction with lots of view points and short hiking routes. There is a fee of $25 per vehicle to drive into the park.
Palisade Sunday Farmer's Market
One of our all-time favorites! The palisade farmers market takes place on Sunday mornings where local vendors sell all kinds of produce, baked goods, and home-made arts. Peaches won't quite be in season yet but there will still be plenty to find!
Palisade Rim Trail Head
If you're looking for a nice hike with good views this is a must! This out-and-back hike will take you above palisade and is easy to make short or long (although will start with a steady incline)
Candle Kitchen GJ
You get a full on candle making experience at the candle kitchen where you get to pick out scents and design your own candle.
Trail Life Brewing
One of the places we miss the most in Grand Junction is Trail Life Brewery. They serve lots of local beer as well as cocktails and the food is very good! You must try one of their alcohol or non-alcoholic "sloshes". Check out the used gear store next door as well!
