Steamboat Springs and Northwest Colorado Sights

A little planning goes a long way when deciding what attractions to visit in Northwest Colorado. Grand Junction, the largest city between Denver and Salt Lake City, makes the ideal hub for exploring the region. Many of the sights, with the notable exception of Steamboat Springs, are less than a two-hour drive from Grand Junction. You can make the loop from Delta to Cedaredge and Grand Mesa to Palisade easily in a day. If you want to break up the trip, stop at one of the clusters of cabins atop the mesa, or in the lovely town of Cedaredge overnight. The loop in the opposite direction—including Rifle, Meeker, Craig, Dinosaur National Monument, and Rangely—is quite a bit longer, but there's decent lodging in any of the stops along the way, with the exception of Dinosaur National Monument (unless you're prepared to camp).
