If you want to enjoy winter fun in the great outdoors but don’t want to expose yourself to frigid cold, you’ll love Grand Junction. Grand Junction receives very little snow compared to many areas of the U.S. Check the forecast to know what the area will look like when you visit.
The mix of high and low geographical areas means that, at any time, you can find places with or without snow on the ground, giving you a wide selection of activities to enjoy. With such a temperate climate, you can enjoy hiking and mountain biking all year long.
Explore the 31-square miles of the Colorado National Monument to enjoy the red rock formations, canyons, and sandstone towers. Enjoy scenic drives and hikes that take you to beautiful vantage points.
You can view the red rocks from afar or up close depending on your preference. The Devil’s Kitchen Trail is short with a roundtrip distance of 1.2 miles that takes you up to the red rock boulders and mesmerizing rock stacks.
No trip to Grand Junction is complete without a visit to Grand Mesa, the largest flat-topped mountain in the world. The mesa rises about 6,000 feet above the surrounding valleys, covers an area of about 500 square miles, and contains over 300 lakes! Grand Mesa has one of the best off-road trails in Grand Junction, so consider covering more territory in a 4X4.
One of the best reasons to visit Grand Junction in the winter is to snowshoe through the pristine western Colorado landscape. While skiing and snowboarding come to most people’s minds when they think of Colorado winter sports, snowshoeing is a gentler activity that many can enjoy.
If you can hike, you can snowshoe. Use your own equipment or rent snowshoes and snowshoe poles or trekking poles with snow baskets. White snow and abundant year-round sunshine create the perfect recipe for a quiet winter hike.
When you need a break from the great outdoors, explore Grand Junction’s festive downtown area. Shop in charming boutiques, dine and enjoy craft beer, and view beautiful art. Thanks to the Art on the Corner program, the city has one of the largest outdoor art displays in the country, with some pieces on permanent display.
