Grand Junction is a moderate-sized town in Western Colorado with great scenery, nice, conservative people, and lots of sunshine. I enjoyed every visit I made to this area, and so far, am enjoying the school. Grand Junction has all the amenities of a larger city with a home-town feel. There's lots of agriculture nearby, including peaches! It is homey, comfortable, and laid-back. I enjoy it here!
I moved to Grand Junction in December of 2016 and I have absolutely loved it. There is a great college (Colorado Mesa University) in the town and all the stores or anywhere you need to go is within 15 minutes from your home. What I absolutely love the most are the adventures. It has been less than a year since I have moved to Grand Junction and I have explored Canyonlands, Arches National Park, Colorado National Monument, Unaweep, Black Canyon, Ouray, Telluride, Aspen and many more beautiful places. I also have went camping for the first time, rock climbed and climbed my first mountain! The adventures near Grand Junction are endless. Grand Junction is simply beautiful and the center of all adventures.
It's great if you love to adventure! It is very much like a city, without all of the traffic. It is a college town so there are many students wandering the streets at all hours. The commute to any grocery store or shopping center is about ten minutes, much less than the 45 I used to drive. The summers are very hot while the winters are mild and lack snow. However, there is still a ski area not too far from campus if you wish to be in the mountains.
