A small lake high in Rocky Mountain National Park is the Colorado River's source. From its start, the Colorado River flows 1,450 miles to the Gulf of California.
The Colorado River through Grand Junction, Colo. was under utilized and treated like a trash heap. Thankfully, the city is finally showing it some love.
This awesome campground is only 88 miles out of Grand Junction, Colorado, and barely 36 miles past Gateway. It's awesome, convenient, and free to visit.
