Review & FAQ:
One of the highlights of a visit to Grand Junction is the chance to visit Colorado National Monument where a stunning landscape of red rock formations awaits you.
The majestic rock formations are believed to vary in age between 140 million years to over one billion years and bear testimony to the fascinating effects of erosion.
There are several canyons to be explored as you drive or cycle along Rim Rock Drive or set off on foot along the vast network of hiking trails.
You can pick up maps and watch a short orientation film at the Saddlehorn Visitor's Center, which is located close to the Saddlehorn Campground, where you can pitch your tent.
