Grand Junction, CO

united states

Grand Junction anchors western Colorado's high desert at the confluence of two major rivers. I-70 connects it east to Denver and west to Salt Lake City, while Highway 50 heads toward the Black Canyon and Highway 6 runs north through wine country. The 23-mile Rim Rock Drive through Colorado National Monument offers spectacular red rock views just minutes from downtown. The 1923 Avalon Theatre downtown still screens classic films and hosts live shows.
