My family lived near Grand Junction, Colorado over ten years before moving last summer. The town is nestled in a valley in Western Colorado, close to the Utah border. It is the most beautiful place I've ever been. The mountains around it are all unique and different and there is always fun things to do. The Colorado National Monument is to the South of the valley (Pictured below). Grand Junction can be seen with its green trees behind the Monument.

Below is a picture of the Grand Junction skyline when coming down from the Monument. Behind the town is a section of the Rocky Mountains called the 'Book Cliffs'.

Below is Grand Junction's Main Street, which is downtown. There are a lot of restaurants, theaters, parks, and stores. They also have a small outdoor water park during the summer and Farmer's Markets weekly.
This is the Book Cliffs, seen from the picture before, which set to the North of Grand Junction. To the right of the shot is Mount Garfield.
The city and surrounding areas of Grand Junction are always fun and beautiful, with many different activities throughout the year.
Absolutely beautiful, Kelsey!!! I lived most of my life out west, although never in Colorado, and I still miss it. You will meet up with some great mountains and stories about mountains in Indian Epics, by the way... including the story of how the mountains USED to have wings! Mount Mainaka (coming up in Buck's Ramayana)
