Year-Round Biking Destination
Unlike high-elevation Colorado mountain towns where biking is limited to the summer and early fall, Grand Junction's mild climate allows for riding nearly year-round. Spring and fall offer ideal conditions, with comfortable temperatures and stunning seasonal scenery, whether it's blooming desert wildflowers in the spring or golden aspens in the fall.
During the summer, riders can escape the heat by heading up to the Grand Mesa, where cool alpine air and dense forests provide a refreshing contrast to the desert terrain below. Winter riding is also possible, as lower-elevation trails like those in the Lunch Loops Trail System and Fruita’s 18 Road Trails often remain dry and snow-free, making Grand Junction one of the most accessible and diverse biking destinations in Colorado.
Guided Tours & Bike Rentals
Visitors without their own gear—or those looking for insider knowledge—can take advantage of Grand Junction’s bike shops and outfitters, which offer a variety of rentals, repairs, and guided tours. Whether you’re looking for a high-performance mountain bike, a comfortable cruiser for a scenic ride, or an e-bike to explore with ease, there’s an option for every type of cyclist.
Bike & Brewery/Wine Pairings
After hitting the trails, cool down with a stop at one of Grand Junction’s local breweries or wineries. The Fruita Fat Tire Festival and Tour de Vineyards in Palisade celebrate the region’s passion for cycling and craft beverages.
