Things To DoThings To Do
Colorado National MonumentColorado National Monument
Located conveniently in town, Colorado National Monument preserves one of the grand landscapes of the American West. This treasure is much more than a monument. Towering monoliths exist within a vast plateau and canyon panorama. You can experience sheer-walled, red rock canyons along the twists and turns of Rim Rock Drive, where you may spy bighorn sheep and soaring eagles. Jo and Georgia love driving the scenic road and hiking the endless trails within the Monument.
Lunch Loop TrailheadLunch Loop Trailhead
Top tier mountain biking just minutes from downtown Grand Junction. This collection of trails is also fabulous for a scenic hike during your visit!
Grand MesaGrand Mesa
If you are looking to escape the summer heat while visiting Grand Junction, you can drive 45 minutes east to the top of the Grand Mesa. The Grand Mesa is the largest flat-top mountain in the world, bursting with over 300 lakes. It stands 10,000 feet above sea level with lush aspen forests and groves of pine trees. Wildlife abounds on the Mesa including moose, deer, and elk. Georgia and Jo spend a lot of their free time on the Grand Mesa- snowboarding in the winter and camping in the summer.
Main StreetMain Street
Take a stroll on our beautiful Main Street! We love perusing the shops, dining, and enjoying the 100+ sculptures in downtown Grand Junction. Some favorite stops include The Hog and the Hen for candy and speciality grocery items, A Robin's Nest for antiques and treasures, Willow Creek for teas and herbs, and Suehiro for sushi and bento boxes.
Trail Life BrewingTrail Life Brewing
Trail Life Brewing is Jo and Georgia's favorite watering hole to visit after their outdoor adventures. Great beer, food, cocktails, and people. Located on Grand Junction's beautiful Main Street.
Restoration VineyardsRestoration Vineyards
Grand Junction and Palisade are home to over 30 wineries and tasting rooms that serve up some of Colorado’s best wines. Our favorite place to enjoy a glass is Restoration Vineyards. They provide beautiful outdoor seating surrounded by their vineyard, with breathtaking views of the Book Cliffs. On weekends you will find live music and a rotating selection of food trucks.
Los AlazanesLos Alazanes
Our favorite drive through. Jo's usual order is the carne asada burrito. Georgia goes for the chile relleno plate or a bean and cheese burrito smothered in pork green chili. Ask for every flavor of salsa.
Kulina Lani Organic SourdoughKulina Lani Organic Sourdough
The best breakfast sandwich and croissants we have ever had.
Ramblebine Brewing CompanyRamblebine Brewing Company
Another favorite spot for beers. Ramblebine offers an airy atmosphere, nice shaded patio, and rotating selection of food trucks.
Museum of the West, Museums of Western ColoradoMuseum of the West, Museums of Western Colorado
This is a quaint museum located right downtown. Make sure to walk the stairs, or ride the elevator, to the very top of the viewing tower for a 360 view of the beautiful Grand Valley. “Ride” in a stagecoach, “fly” a 1958 Cessna, and gaze upon an ancient cup and ladle from the Anasazi. Study Ute and Fremont Art, see the real firearms that outlaws used, sit in a one-room schoolhouse, and visit the Pastime saloon – all at the Museum of the West!
