If you haven’t spent much time in Grand Junction recently, you are missing out. It is home to Nature’s Trifecta (Colorado National Monument, the Grand Mesa, and Rattlesnake Arches), the second highest concentration of natural arches in the world. It is also turning a lot of heads for its spectacular wines. The community here is proud of the place they call home and are proud that tourism is helping the city flourish during its transition from a fossil-fuel dependent economy. To help prevent overcrowding as the region gets more popular, tourism businesses are contributing toward creative ways to disperse travelers. Every visit to this corner of Colorado is a chance to support a community turning the page to a new future and create meaningful connections to the dynamic landscapes in the American West.
