Grand Mesa

As the snow melts and the spring runoff occurs, The Mesa County Sheriff's Office has a specific emergency plan in place if an additional mudslide occurs in the West Salt Creek area near Collbran.

With nine inches of new snow in the last two days, there is good snow and plenty of skiing left at Powderhorn before the season comes to an end.

It's always amazing to hear these types of stories about this area.

A great workout and a reason to get outside.

If you poke around Etsy long enough, you occasionally stumble across something really unique. If you love the Grand Mesa area as much as I do, you have to see this postcard that I found that dates back to the 1950's.

As we who live here know, Grand Mesa is beautiful any time of the year. But, when the fall colors kick into high gear, there is no place on earth you'd rather be. Just prior to the first snowfall of the year, YouTubers Synergy Marketing Consultants found a very good use for a drone - capturing the fall colors of Grand Mesa in all their 4K glory.

If you're one of the many people that have to work part or most of the Labor Day holiday weekend, don't despair, you can still take a day and head to the Grand Mesa for some fun.

As the Grand Valley is just seeing the first signs of fall with leaves changing and recent cooler temperatures, the Grand Mesa is already showing signs of winter with a September dusting of snow along the rim.

A person can find a lot of interesting things in the woods, and you never know what you are going to run into. On my recent fishing expedition, I encountered several piles of these Easter egg looking things that I had never seen before.

If you are looking for a beautiful place to get away with hiking, camping, fishing, and picnicking options, the Grand Mesa's Alexander Lake is an awesome destination.
