Western Colorado is home to two memorable towns, Fruita and Grand Junction. Grand Junction hosts many local shops, restaurants and art galleries. Visit the bustling downtown to pick up some souvenirs and support the local vendors.

Fruita is known for its outdoor adventures, like epic mountain biking and kayaking the Colorado River. After a day of experiencing Colorado’s great outdoors, stop in Copper Club Brewing Company to taste why Colorado is one of the first states to perfect microbrews. Then grab a pizza at the famous Hot Tomato, a local favorite you don’t want to miss!

Colorado is home to some of the most scenic National Parks in the country, including the breathtaking Colorado National Monument just outside of Fruita. The monument is a must-see during your visit! Mesa Verde National Park is within a 4-hour drive and is known for its Ancestral Puebloan cliff dwellings. Rocky Mountain National Park is a 5-hour drive from Fruita and is one of the most visited national parks in North America. Take the drive after race weekend to see why!
