GRAND means something far better than “good,” it’s much bigger than “great.”
JUNCTION is not just where things come together, it’s about the unity found within positive pursuits, that creates true community strength.
LIFESTYLE here is experienced at its fullest when the best people and opportunities come together with that positive community focus. We work together toward common goals and by working together, we all get even better!
As I think about what the Grand Junction area means to me, a few things come to mind: I came here in 1994 and very quickly, my heart took root deep in the traditions, the “wild west” heritage, the grandeur of the scenery and the limitless opportunities for outdoor adventure found here. For 31 years this place has been home for me. I met my incredible wife here. We have raised four terrific children here and now we have the privilege of bringing quality local interest stories and business offerings to the people that make this marvelous place home. This place really is larger-than-life in so many ways.
Here, I have come to know people regarded among the best of all humankind. This community is patriotic, generous and talented. We have artisans, performers, inventors and innovators to rival history’s most notable achievers. We have theater, sports, shopping, mountain biking, camping, hunting, fishing, river rafting, rock climbing, spelunking, ghost town exploration; even prospecting for gold, gems and other treasures. There are infinite choices for adventure and fun.
Although things have changed, the GRAND things about our valley endure, timeless as the scenery itself.
Grand Junction began as little more than a whistle stop. Now it's truly an adventure destination!
Welcome aboard, Grand Junction Lifestyle! It’s a thrill to be part of such an inspiring community and we hope you always enjoy the ride.
