Columbine Park is a nice park located right off of North Avenue in Grand Junction…read more I played softball here on the Adult Men's Wednesday league through the City of Grand Junction. The fields are maintained and kept up well. The parking lot was almost full as there were 2 or 3 games that evening. According to some basic information I found online, Columbine Park is located at 544 28 1/4 Road. This park has one shelter with nine picnic tables and two barbecues. Rental fee is $45 for 4 hours; $25 for each extra hour. They have a large play ground for the kiddos and a huge grassy area for dogs, a football game, some ultimate, a volleyball game, whatever your heart desires. Heck, get a slip'n-slide out and have a party!

Don't miss this one! When we first arrived in Fruita, Colorado. The Colorado National Monument was…read morenot on our list of things to visit. We would of totally missed it if it hadn't been for some people we met at a restaurant. Colorado National Monument is not a National Park; it is a National Monument managed by the National Park Service. It's name doesn't portray the beauty and magnitude of this gorgeous park. It is a 23 mile drive and is often called the mini-grand canyon. The towering red rock monoliths and the Canyon views were absolutely incredible.

What bliss this is…read more Colorado National Monument is basically the smaller in scale sandstone-stacked cousin of the Grand Canyon, but without all the horrific traffic and crowds upon crowds, especially at the start of summer. This place has miles of views with gorgeous towering cliffs, dramatic canyons and many trails for walking and hiking. You can also see the Grand Mesa (the world's largest flat-topped mountain) and the Book Cliffs from the monument. And it has that Grand Canyon feeling when you look at its depth -- as though you are looking directly into a painting. Along about a 20-mile highway (with an east and west entrance) you can enjoy the full views. There are plenty of places to pull over and park to take a look or to plan for a hike. And be very, very careful. The main drive is very deeply beloved by cyclists, so be sure to drive slow and keep eyes on the road. Do not miss Independence Monument. This is a glorious rock spire. also, the Kissing Couple is adorable. The Coke Ovens are these beautifully shaped domes -- some of my favorites in the area. Also, be aware of wildlife. I did not get lucky, but there are regular sights of bighorn sheep, coyotes, red-tailed hawks, eagles and many other animals. I did see a pretty spectacular aerial fight between a hawk and a raven during a recent visit, though. Also, be sure to check out the visitor center on the west side. It has some natural history exhibits and a gift shop. There is also the Saddlehorn Campground, which is very well maintained and has a good number of spots, but not all with sprawling city or canyon views. All told, there are three loops with nearly 80 sites. Some are small and best for a pair and others that are good for a couple of tents on one site. Overall, bring lots of water and snacks, because it is dry and sometimes feels desert like. And do not over rely on cell service, as there are a number of dead zones.

However, my OCD and well raised 2 year old spent some of his time picking up litter and taking it to the trash can. There is also no parking aside from street parking, and all 4 streets around it are very busy. It's definitely not the worst and there were no homeless or shady people lingering around, it just didn't feel like a beautiful and clean park for my child.
