1. It's impossible to decide which amazing trail you want to hike next
Grand Junction and the surrounding areas offer an almost endless selection of incredible trails to hike and bike. The only difficulty is deciding which one to hike next.
2. It's hard to find flip flops which match your parka
Grand Junction can put the fashion police on double-red alert. We enjoy going out in late December wearing flip flops, jogging shorts, and a parka layered with two sweaters and Bronco jersey.
3. You can't decide which passion to pursue
What do you plan to do this weekend? Mountain bike, raft, hike, arrowhead hunt (okay, it's a no no, but people still do it), skydive? We have an endless number of fun and interesting things which can be done year round. Deciding which one can give you a headache.
4. Dealing with the 7-minute commute to work
On any given day, the drive from home to work takes a whopping seven minutes. Most people I know experience about the same travel time. Okay, my brother lives on Little Park and works at the East end of town, so he drives roughly 20 minutes.
5. Hard to choose a favorite restaurant
More and more options are springing up every day. If you're into the mom and pop restaurants, you'll find plenty of those. Perhaps you prefer chains. It seems Grand Junction has become something of a hot spot for the big boys. New franchises are moving into the Valley right and left.
