to Mesa County, Colorado, home of many fine Bed and Breakfast establishments! With a variety of locations (such as Grand Junction, Fruita and Palisade, CO) amenities and price ranges, travelers are sure find accommodations to meet their travel plans. The Grand Valley follows the Colorado River (formerly called the Grand River) as it is met by the Gunnison River. It is accessible from Interstate 70 and State Hwy. 50 and it is about halfway between Denver, Colorado and Salt Lake City, Utah. The four-hour drive from the Denver metro area is spectacular, winding through the heart of the Rocky Mountains and breathtaking Glenwood Canyon. We are an equally beautiful five-hour drive away from Salt Lake City.
