The large collection of street art found in Grand Junction arrived there in a variety of ways, but in everyway was approved by a committee of citizens. Some work was purchased by commission or grant. Some work was donated by an art competition, and some work remains on display as available to be purchased from the artist. Other works were commissioned by the business where the art work is on display. The western end of Main Street in Grand Junction has a number of important pieces. The selection of art ranges widely in terms of size, materials used, and in style of artistry, so check out all the images. Leave a Comment

Until a few years ago, the Colorado River was a dumping ground for old cars and trash. Now, volunteer organizations have restored the natural wetland shores of the river right within the city of Grand Junction. A Botanical Garden and Museum is located at the foot of 7th Street, just across the railroad tracks, and closer to the river is a paved walkway with several pedestrian bridges. I returned to the truck by way of a bicycle trail along the river. At the time of my visit, it was near dark and the Botanical Gardens closed. Rafters and Kayak enthusiasts will be interested in these photos of the river at dusk. Leave a Comment

I was simply lucky to arrive for the farmer's market activity, but maybe you can be too. There were street musicians, and ethnic dancers, and plenty of vendors. Leave a Comment

During the Farmer's Market, Main Street is closed to traffic and the vendors open white canopies. I took time to shoot the facades of the old downtown buildings. Leave a Comment

The City Hall has a nice modern art piece, and there is an outstanding sculpture fountain, but then there are some small private contributions, and a bust of a civic leader too. Grand Junction's collection of street art is truely impressive... Leave a Comment

It becomes very apparent that the town has developed a tradition that businesses have subscribed to. Most well established businesses in town have commissioned a sculpture to decorate their store front. But, then the city's open spaces and parking areas are also decorated! In this series of images two of the large pieces are also moving art forms, while one is a bust of a baby. Leave a Comment

Biking along the Kokopelli trail
Stereotyped (and others will argue as 'over-hyped') the Kokopelli trail is one of the more scenic bike rides in Colorado. It is a long 2-5 day bike ride from Fruita Colorado - all the way to Moab, Utah. The desert-like scenery can be awe-inspiring. Be forewarned that conditions can change radically and it is best to be prepared for *any* changes in temperature, precipitation, and conditions.. Leave a Comment Directions: The trail starts in Fruita - although there are other access points along the highway (on the Colorado side of the border) that you can pick up the trail.. Check with any number of biking shops in the
