Grand Junction is an amazing place to experience any time of the year. Summer, however, is definitely the time of year you don’t want to skip. Here are 5 things in Grand Junction you do not want to miss out on!
1. Check out the Colorado National Monument. There are several trails for hiking/biking with views that will blow your mind! It has one of the most scenic road cycling events in the United States. Bring some food and check out the sunrise or sunset from one of the beautiful trails!
2. There are 5 beautiful golf courses. There are elevated tees with the Colorado National Monument in the background! Grand Junction is also home to the #1 public golf course in Colorado, according to Golf Digest in 2017, Redlands Mesa Golf Course.
3. Stand Up Paddle Boarding on the Colorado River. Take a lesson with GJ Stand Up Paddle Boarding Co or give Stand Up Paddle Board Yoga a try!
4. Arrive and Drive Racing at the Grand Junction Motor Speedway! There aren’t many places that will let you drag race your vehicle as an amateur! Fun filled family activity that everyone can enjoy.
5. Last but certainly not least, Shop Downtown GJ. There are several local coffee shops, restaurants, places to shop and amazing art done by local artists! Take a walk through downtown and feel the warmth of Grand Junction as you enjoy a nice iced coffee. Stock up on all your favorite things for your next adventure outdoors. You also don’t want to miss out on the tasty food choices, whether you want to grab a quick bite or sit down for a one of a kind meal, Downtown GJ has everything you need!
