Blow up your floaty, slather on the SPF, and grab your swimsuit - it's time to play on the Colorado River! The benefit of recreating on Grand Junction's waterways are the calm rivers - no whitewater until you float to Utah! Go SUPing, kayaking, rafting or just soak in the river, which winds through Grand Junction. Are lakes more your speed? GJ has that too - over 300 lakes on the Grand Mesa, the world's largest flat-top mountain, just 45 minutes from town. And don't forget, safety first. Be sure to visit one of the free PFD stations along the river if you do not have a life jacket.

“I go fishing not to find myself but to lose myself.” – Joseph Monninger
You don't have to be a sport angler to get out on the water and throw a line.
Grand Junction has rivers, lakes, creeks, streams, reservoirs, and ponds - there is water everywhere! Make it extra special and pack a picnic, bring a good book, and download your favorite playlist. You will surely lose yourself and your worries will melt away. So, grab your pole and as always, keep your line tight!

Looking for a hike with cool temperatures, alpine lakes, lush forests and no crowds? Take the short 45-minute scenic drive from Grand Junction to the top of the Grand Mesa, which stands at 11,000 feet in elevation. The Grand Mesa is usually 20 degrees cooler, making it perfect for a hike during the summer months.
