 | Breakfast on the Colorado National Monument
|
Top attractions for tour operators in Grand Junction range from the natural to new-fangled. The Colorado National Monument is perhaps the area's biggest draw, with its canyons, monoliths and rust-tinted rock formations. It's the perfect place for a culinary adventure. Breakfast on the Monument offers delicious entrees with a breathtaking Colorado canyon view. Take a break with a picnic in one of two monumental areas: near the Saddlehorn Campground or in the Devils Kitchen picnic area near the East Entrance. The drive through the monument takes approximately two and a half hours and entertaining step-on guides are available. (Note that groups of 15 or more require a permit.)
Downtown Grand Junction makes for another great tour. Enstrom's carries delicious handcrafted toffee and chocolate and has an Internet cafe.  | Downtown Grand Junction

They also now host toffee-making demonstrations that will interest and entice folks of all ages. While you're in the area, note the sculptures that adorn the streets as part of Grand Junctions' renowned Art on the Corner program. These contemporary pieces make fitting complements to the boutiques and restaurants that line downtown sidewalks.
To cool off after your group's jaunt downtown, bring them to Glacier Ice Arena, built by members of the Zamboni family. The arena is a multi-service skating facility that plays host to hockey leagues, figure skating and broomball, along with public skating sessions. Private ice time for groups and individuals is also available.

than Grand Junction. With more than 3,000 rooms, this town offers superb lodging, from the quaint and cozy to downright spacious. Beyond the hotel walls, visitors will find an equally diverse mix of outdoor activities, from scenic drives, wine tasting and gallery hopping to hiking, biking and rafting.
Grand Junction also boasts some great places to play. GJ Scores is an entertainment complex featuring 36 lanes of state-of-the-art bowling, billiard tables, arcade games and a signature sound and lights show. Bananas Fun Park offers a miniature golf course, arcade, go carts, bumper boats in a small "bay", and a cafe. Recently, Bananas also added a Pavilion which can accommodate meetings, parties, and other celebrations.
Whether you lead a high-energy group or one more inclined to laid-back luxury, Grand Junction hosts venues that will accommodate all their needs in beautiful Western Colorado.
