View of Fall Colors over the Grand Mesa

In partnership with the Colorado Tourism Office international team, Berliner Zeitung, a German newspaper, highlighted Grand Junction in the article "The Rhythm of the Rockies". The article says, "In western Colorado, where the Rocky Mountains give way to desert landscapes, lies Grand Junction — a city that unites nature, culture, and art. Surrounded by spectacular scenery such as Colorado National Monument, the Grand Mesa National Forest, and the Rattlesnake Arches, Grand Junction offers geological diversity unlike anywhere else.

Grand Junction is the perfect final stop on a Colorado journey. It recalls the free-spirited vibe of American road movies — a little bit of a hippie charm. In the city center, you’ll find brightly painted cafés, record stores, microbreweries, diners with jukeboxes, and plenty of cool people. Take a few days to stay at the Hotel Maverick — the rooftop restaurant (Devil’s Kitchen) is highly recommended.

For breakfast, head Downtown to the Roots Gastrohub or Café Sol.

The town center surprises you with local street art, historic buildings, wineries, and a lively cultural scene. Along Main Street, you’ll meet friendly locals who are proud of their city — and rightly so. Let Grand Junction inspire you as the grand finale to a special journey meant to recharge your spirit.

To conclude your trip, drive out to Colorado National Monument — a spectacular natural wonder and one of the most impressive landscapes in the American Southwest. Towering canyons, red sandstone formations, and sweeping desert vistas create a view you’ll never forget."
