Barbara Peterson, a writer for the Wall Street Journal, highlighted Grand Junction in the article titled "The Spa Getaway That's Been a Hollywood Hideout Since the 1940s". 

The article says, "Two large rivers—the Colorado and the Gunnison—meet at Grand Junction, a high-desert town in western Colorado, where hiking, mountain biking and standup paddleboarding are free-time favorites, along with rafting and canoeing. The nearby red rock spires of the Colorado National Monument and Grand Mesa, one of the world’s largest flat-top mountains, are both primed for nimble rock climbers and canyoneering enthusiasts. Check into Hotel Maverick on the Colorado Mesa University campus and borrow a bike to size up the town, then stop at Moody’s Lounge, a new speakeasy on Main Street. For outdoor pursuits, you can fish for catfish, trout or largemouth bass in Highline Lake State Park or sample the wines at vineyards in nearby Palisade. Book a table at Colterris at the Overlook for views of the Colorado River."
