45th Anniversary Meet Optional Tours

By Bill Bradford, Tour Chair

In December’s issue of the G&D you were treated to a description of the Grand Junction area and the two touring possibilities on Thursday, July 6th – “Tour Day”.  These two tours, Grand Mesa and Vega Lake, are shown on the registration form.  You need to make a decision on which one you would like to attend and pre register.

In addition to Thursday’s tours the Tour Committee has planned several “Optional” tours that you are encouraged to take at any time during or after the meet.  Descriptions of these tours and sign-up sheets will be located at the “Tour Desk” in the Double Tree Hotel.  They will also be printed in the meet tour book that you will receive upon arriving in Grand Junction.  These tours will be self-guided and there is no charge for them.  They are also Passport eligible!

Here is a short description of the Optional Tours:

Colorado National Monument Tour

This is a 52 mile tour with steep grades and winding roads.

The “Monument” is not to be missed!  It is one of the areas most spectacular sites.  Shades of red and white rock spires and cliffs rising hundreds of feet on all sides offer wonderful views and great photo ops.  Don’t forget to stop in at the Visitors Center.  There is an entry fee of $5.00 per car or present your Golden Age card.

Winery and Fruit stand Tour

This is a 39 mile tour on the valley floor east of Grand Junction.

Take a leisurely drive through the fruit orchards stopping when you please.  Follow this with a visit to one of the wonderful wineries for a taste!

Gateway Auto Museum Tour

This 150 mile tour winds southwest of Grand Junction along the beautiful Unaweep Canyon.  Stop at the new Gateway Auto Museum, owned by the founder of the Discovery Channel, to have lunch and see the collection.

Grand Junction Walking Tour

Ready for some exercise?  The Visitors and Convention folks will offer a walking tour in downtown Grand Junction.  This will be a good opportunity to see the art and sculpture that Grand Junction is so famous for as well as the great shopping!

There are several other longer tours that will be available for your consideration.  Make sure you stop by the “Tour Desk” and see what’s cooking.
