If you have been with me this is a continuation of our trip with my sister and her husband who have been visiting from Texas. We left Lake City very early in the morning for the drive down to Telluride
(a star studded ski resort). From there we pushed on back north a stones throw from the Utah border, through exquisite landscapes of red rock cliffs which included a quick stop at the Gateway Resort where we toured the car museum.
The drive back to Lake City would have been exhausting, so we made reservations at a cute little 1902 cottage in Grand Junction. Grand Junction is in far western Colorado and is the location of the confluence of the Gunnison and Colorado Rivers. Famous for their fruit growing, they are also acquiring a reputation for their nearby vineyards. Since there were four of us, it was actually cheaper to share this little house which was only four blocks from the center city.
We were very pleased with this place which had two bedrooms each with ensuite bathrooms.
It is always nice to have a kitchen.
We especially enjoyed the back deck. Even though Grand Junction has higher summer temperatures, it is very dry so sitting out in the evening is always pleasant. We also grilled, having filled and ice chest with steaks and asparagus before leaving home...What a wonderful dinner we had.
Next up: I will show you a few pictures of the cute, nearby downtown.
A lovely cottage!
ReplyDeleteYou are making a wonderful tour, that house looked very pretty for a stay not at all a nasty holiday cabin.
ReplyDeleteDearest Janey,
ReplyDeleteHappy to read that you all four had a great trip with lots of interesting sights, inside and outdoors.
This looks like a very nice place.
We did just that the previous two days, enjoying the upper back porch at the Mountain Laurel Inn in Damascus, VA where I drove for biking both the VA Creeper Trail - downhill of course!
Hugs,
Mariette
