This sign was on both desks by the way! Save your Opinion for social settings! We Americans don't want your instigating ways in our Public Servants Offices! This was in the Fruita Office Branch!

One officer fields boarding passes for pre check and the normal line. Sometimes it maybe faster to go through the regular line regardless of your pre check status.

Goes a long way to remove shoes and belt before placing your items in bins. Security is easier on you when you help them out! Metal detectors. Benches after security to put your shoes back on.

GREAT DOWNTOWN AREA TO WALK AROUND…read more====================================== If you are driving from Los Angeles to Denver in the summer this is a good place to stay overnight. I didn't include the winter because you don't want to drive at night in the middle of no man's land on that long stretch west of Grand Junction. We usually just stay one night, but there are lots of things to do in the area. The Colorado River is nearby, the Dinosaur Museum, off-roading trails, hiking, mountain biking, snow skiing and lots of other things. I was really impressed by Grand Junction's Main Street with all the restaurants and shops. If you stay in Grand Junction try to find a hotel or Airbnb near Main Street. You won't have to drive to go out to lunch or dinner because there are plenty of spots.

Thank God for that because these small businesses truly are what makes a city wonderful. GJ might be a little rough around the edges, but anyone can see the amount of work that's gone into building a diverse community of business, industry, and residence. It's been about 9 years since I've visited GJ, and I was surprised to see the amount of growth. That growth likely means jobs and making a living toward the American dream. A quick real estate search returned several affordable options - I know if I were seeking to live here, I'd like to find something with a view. The plains, the mountains, either one can be found here if you're patient. It's easy to understand why surrounding cities make Grand Junction a regular stop for errands or a short getaway for a meal. It's relatively relaxing and easy to find or drive to anything you're looking for. I'm glad I made the trip. Next time, I'll scope out a nifty restaurant or three.
