SunCrest also offers Mill Tours, including an overview of how natural fibers are transformed into yarn, as well as a store where you may purchase gifts made from alpaca yarn. River Dance It’s practically illegal to visit Colorado without attending some kind of outdoor music shindig — which is exactly why places like Las Colonias Park Amphitheater exist. So grab your picnic blanket, lawn chairs and farmers’ market goodies, and head down to this intimate riverfront venue to catch acts liked ’90s pop artists the Gin Blossoms and acclaimed country singer-songwriter Chris Janson. TWO RIVERS WINERY & CHATEAU SUNCREST ORCHARD ALPACAS @NURSE.BISHOP Grape Expectations What’s better than an outdoor concert under clear Colorado skies? An outdoor concert in one of Grand Junction’s most popular vineyards boasting spectacular views of the Colorado National Monument: Two Rivers Winery & Chateau . This family-owned winery proudly hosts unforgettable evenings with the Grand Junction Symphony Orchestra. Should you happen to have one glass too many, the Chateau has 10 luxe guest rooms to choose from. Board Games Any ol’ landlubber can float around on a stand-up paddleboard. But you haven’t truly mastered the game until you’ve tried your hand (and the rest of your body) at SUP yoga with Stand-Up Paddleboarding Co . You’ll start with some basic yoga postures on land, then cast off in nearby Highline Lake for a short paddle — followed by an unforgettable floating asana sequence on your paddleboard. 18 Follow the Locals “One of the things I love about the Colorado National Monument is that it’s only 10 minutes outside of the city. It’s so accessible. When you camp there, it’s beautiful during the day but at night you escape the city lights and it’s like a whole new place with an awesome view of the sky.” — Ryan Dutch, Colorado Mesa University Outdoor Program director | 2019 VISIT GRAND JUNCTION OFFICIAL VISITORS GUIDE FROM TOP: HOPTOCOPTER FILMS; ROGER MILLER; INSTAGRAM/@NURSE.BISHOP.
