re: Anybody here been to Grand Junction, CO

Been there many times. I have good friends living there. I was just there in May in fact. It's the largest town on the Western Slope and there are quite a few Louisiana transplants living there. I considered living there once but chose Glenwood Springs area instead. Like people have mentioned, it's close to a lot of things. San Juan Mountains, Moab, Black Canyon etc. It's the high desert so it's dry and arid and doesn't get much snow in winter.
