Celebrate National Running Day: Which Grand Junction Trail do you Choose?

I'll try not to be preachy, but running absolutely changed my life! For the better, in case you were wondering. Sure, football, baseball, basketball, fast pitch softball and many other sports were a constant, but running was not something that appealed to me as a youth.

I won't mention them by name but two of my dearest friends, a married couple,  discovered running, one because of a health issue and the other to join his wife and to lose weight. Since they began a few years ago, she has been symptom-free and he has lost more than 100 pounds.

So, today is National Running Day. I salute all the runners in Grand Junction area who get to run these amazing trails and enjoy the incredible views. Since I am new here I need to hear from you guys.

I have only spent time out at the Lunch Loop check out GoPro video of one of my runs there.

Looking for the best, scenic, challenging trails. What are your favorites?
