Grand Junction is surrounded by over 1.5 million acres of public land and is the only destination in the world where you can find three of nature's greatest accomplishments known as Nature's Trifecta - Colorado National Monument, Grand Mesa and Rattlesnake Arches. The Colorado National Monument, often referred to as the "mini-Grand Canyon," is less than 10 minutes from Downtown Grand Junction and is part of the National Park System. The Grand Mesa is the world's largest flat-top mountain, bursting with over 300 alpine lakes filled with freshwater trout. The Rattlesnake Arches, with 35 natural arches, is the second-largest concentration of arches in the world.

Grand Junction also has one of the most welcoming and pedestrian-friendly Downtowns. It is a designated city park with wide sidewalks and over 115 outdoor sculptures and murals. Pop into one of the many unique, antique and boutique shops that line Main Street, or catch a bite to eat at one of the many restaurants Downtown.
