Grand Junction In 1000 Words

Well first of all the reason that I am in Grand Junction Colorado is to attend Mesa State College. At Mesa State College I am studying graphic design and playing on the baseball team. I am a junior in school and an senior on the baseball team. I really like the town of Grand Junction.
One of the reasons that I like Grand Junction is the size of the town. I think that the size is great. It is not to small or too big. I have lived in a town much smaller (Lamar Colorado) and a town much bigger (Denver Colorado). I lived in Lamar for two years when i went to junior college there. I was born and raised in Arvada Colorado. Arvada is a suburb of Denver and only twenty minuets away. I think that Lamar is too small of a town and I think that Denver is too big of a town. I would not want to spend the rest of my life in either of those towns. I could see my self living in a town the size of Grand Junction.
The next reason that i like the town of Grand Junction is due to the fact that of all the outdoor activity that you can do. There is both mountains, lakes and dessert in Grand Junction. All this variety makes it easy to have lots of different activities that they can do. In the mountains you can do many summer and winter sports. the winter sports you can do are skiing, snow boarding, snow shoeing, and cross country skiing. some of the summer activities you can do are mountain biking and hiking. In the dessert you can ride dirt bikes, go shooting, and camping. At the many lakes you and go fishing, water skiing, and boating. I really like the outdoors and Grand Junction has lots of thing to do outdoors such as, hiking, fishing, camping, climbing, hunting, and many more.
There is also lots of good sights to see here, for example the monument is just one of the many. There is a good amount of stores and restaurants here. There is many large chain restaurants as well as home town style restaurants. There is also a mall in Grand Junction which has many well known department stores. In Grand Junction there is also lots of its own home town stores. This is a good thing because in really small towns there is no selection of a place to shop. There is very few options. In Grand Junction you have lots of variety to choose from.
Another good thing about Grand junction is the mild climate. The weather is really nice most of the year. It does not get to hot in the summer months. It also does not get to cold in the winter months. The weather has its highs and lows at times. For the most part the weather stays in the middle range of temperatures. This also allows you to be out doors more. This is a good thing if you like the outdoors.
I did not know very much about Grand Junction until I came here for school. I came here for school last fall. I had only been to Grand Junction a couple of times to play baseball tournaments when I was in little league. Since I am in school and playing baseball I really don’t have much time to experience much of the Grand Junction and the surrounding areas. Once I am done with school and baseball I can not wait to see what more Grand Junction and its surrounding areas have to offer. I really like the school here. I have made lots of good friends in Grand Junction. There are lots of really good and fun people to hang out with here. The people the are from here are very nice people.
There is lots of fun stuff to do with and around Mesa State College. I attend lots of the sporting events as well as some of the events that are put on by the college. I enjoy supporting the other sports programs that we have at Mesa State College. I go watch football games, basketball games, volleyball games, soccer games and softball games. I like doing any thing that has to do with sports.
There are many more sports that the college participates in that can be watched. All of these games are a reasonable price to attend. If you have not been to one of these events I suggest that you attend an event that interests you. There is lots of sporting events that take place in Grand Junction. One of the major sporting events that goes on in Grand Junction in the junior college world series. This event brings people from all over the county to come play and watch baseball. I have been to this event and every game that takes place comes close to selling out. Everyone from the Grand Junction that has an interest in sports attends this event. This event is held and Stocker stadium. The price to attend these games is also a very good deal. This event alone brings lots money to the city.
There are very good hotels to stay at when you come visit this event or any time you come to visit. There is also an air port in Grand Junction. This makes it very easy to come to Grand Junction from were ever you are coming from. This way you don’t have to drive through the mountains to get here. There are mountains surrounding Grand Junction so any way that you would have to drive here you would have to come through the mountains. There is a small town feel with a little larger town. I can see lots of different types of people wanting to come visit this Grand Junction. There is many different things that you can do when you come to visit Grand Junction.
