With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Grand Junction, 35 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here should be Canyon View Park, Bananas Fun Park and Western Colorado Center for the Arts. Don’t forget about Moab either! Just 35 miles away, Tower of Babel, Slickrock Bike Trail and Moab Recreation and Aquatic Center are non-negotiable stops here.
