Grand Junction is the largest town on the western slope of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. We are in an agricultural valley with over 20 local wine vineyards, world class mountain bike trails, and just 45 minutes from the largest flat top mesa in the world with alpine forests, lakes, fishing, downhill (http://powderhorn.com) and cross-country skiing and many hiking trails. The city (http://visitgrandjunction.com) hosts weekly farmers markets downtown during summer months and many other events. There is a home based symphony orchestra (http://gjso.org), theater and many art galleries. There are dinosaur bones visible in the hills surrounding town and a museum (http://museumofwesterncolorado.com) in the neighboring town of Fruita. Colorado National Monument (http://nps.gov/ Colorado), a mini-Grand Canyon, lies on the west side of town. There are many fruit orchards in the valley. River rafting through beautiful red rock cliffs is popular here. We are 2 hours from Aspen Colorado, 4 hours from Denver, and 2 hours from Moab, Utah with magnificent red rock canyon lands and other National Parks (http://nps.gov/ Utah). The world's largest hot springs pool is just 85 miles east in Glenwood Springs, Colorado.
