그랜드 정션 (CO) 로컬 커뮤니티

This city is the most populous municipality in all of Western Colorado. It serves as a major commercial and transportation hub within the large area between the Green River and the Continental Divide. The area has developed as a major mountain biking destination, so if you like adventures in the great outdoors this place should be a part of your bucket list. The city has two prominent trails: Tabeguache and Kokopelli. 

The climate in the downtown area is semi-arid. This is because Grand Junction sits in the middle of a large area of high desert. Winters are cold and dry, but you need to prepare for elevated temperatures throughout the year. 

Amtrak, the national passenger rail system, provides service to this city. The Grand Valley Transit (GVT) is a regional transit system serving the grand valley. 

The Grand Junction's Colorado National Monument was the home to a stage in the Coors Classic bicycle race that's known as the "Tour of the Moon," due to the unique landscape.
