What is the flavor of the West?

Ask someone from western Colorado and they might say peaches, cherries, even roasted chiles. Or, a sip of wine. Wine tours, tasting

rooms, fruit stands and farmers markets offer a bounty of products from our orchards and wineries.

Do you like action? From Fruita, to the Kokopelli Trail, to the Tabeguache Trail, our mountain biking is world-famous. Experience whitewater rafting on the Colorado, Yampa and Green Rivers, and in Canyonlands National Park, Dinosaur National Monument, and Desolation and Westwater canyons; canyoneering, hiking, and rock climbing in the Colorado National Monument, McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area, Black Ridge Canyons Wilderness Area, and Dominguez Canyon Wilderness Study Area. Climb famous desert towers such as Castleton Tower, Ancient Art Tower and Independence Monument. Fish the Colorado River or Gunnison River, or the Gold Medal trout waters of the Roaring Fork River. Fish and hunt at a Flattops mountain resort, or indulge at a spa in the San Juan mountains. Explore the desert and mountains on horseback or by jeep. Winter is just as fun, with cross-country and alpine skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling on the Grand Mesa or San Juan Mountains.

Prefer digging into the past? Visit museums that satiate your appetite for dinosaurs, Colorado history, or Ute Indian history. Go on a dinosaur dig! For more civilized diversions, Grand Junction’s leafy downtown shopping park delivers uncommon treasures and dining choices.

From cool green of orchard and vineyard, to red-rock desert playground–all in a day’s play in western Colorado!
