The Grand Junction area is one fantastic place to live with many out door activities close to in your back yard. Things such as Hiking the many hundreds of miles on trails or watching the Big Horn sheep in the Colorado National Monument only minutes away. Skiing in the Winter at Powderhorn is only 1 hour short drive from down town. Many more activities like jeeping on backroad trails is only an hour away as is sightseeing in Canyon Lands Nat'l Park located in Moab, Utah 80 miles west on I-70.
Grand Junction climate is quite mild with only around 9 inches rain annually. We have beautiful clear skies, mild temperature and enjoy a slow peaceful life style with only less than 100,000 population. There is one major shopping mall and a beautiful restored down town section with restruants and walking/shopping area. Its a fantastic place to retire if you like the out doors activities. As the area grows many cultural activities are becoming popular.
