Already successfully branded as Colorado's Wine County, Grand Valley tourism seeks to expand its reach even further with a new push — to be known for its extraordinary recreation and culinary options.
Hiking, biking, rafting, golfing, dining — all the “-ings.”
“It's all about diversity and having lots of choices,” Grand Junction Visitor and Convention Bureau (GJVCB) division manager Barbara Bowman said.Like most tourism destinations, Grand Junction took a big hit when the national economy trended downward four years ago.
