Retirement With a View Colorado's scenic Grand Valley is the gateway to an active retirement. BY NICOLE ESPLIN W orking is anything but relaxing: rushing to client meetings or job sites, clocking 40-hourplus weeks, or spending most of the day stuck in an ofﬁce. PHOTOS COURTESY OF HILLTOP SENIOR OPTIONS Retirement, on the other hand, can provide the opportunity to spend your days surrounded by natural beauty in a destination that averages 300 days of sunshine per year - a welcome reprieve from the workaday world. Grand Junction combines the best of smalltown living, cultural amenities, and convenient access to the wonders of western Colorado. Greet each day by watching the sun rise over Colorado's Grand Mesa, and in the evening watch it set over the Colorado National Monument. Take in the sweeping views of the Grand Valley, relax with a glass of wine from one of eight local wineries, treat yourself to unique shopping venues, or experience intriguing cultural attractions. With eight heavily stocked reservoirs and an abundance of hiking trails surrounding the lakes on the Grand Mesa, adventures are abun- dant. Plan day trips to the Colorado National Monument and the Grand Mesa, both short drives from Grand Junction. The young at heart can enjoy breathtaking drives through the Rockies to quaint mountain towns like Aspen, Vail, Telluride, and Steamboat Springs for skiing and hiking getaways. If you picture yourself climbing in and out of a golf cart instead of up a mountain, Grand Junction doesn't disappoint. The area is home to ﬁve golf courses, including the famed Redlands Mesa, where you can improve your game next to towering red-rock boulders. When you live in Grand Junction, the medical hub of western Colorado and eastern Utah, it is easy to keep your body ﬁt and healthy for adventures to come. The city is also nationally recognized for relatively low-cost medical care, with a choice of quality medical facilities and practitioners, so you can quickly get back to enjoying your retirement pursuits. Living your golden years in an active, natural paradise can become reality in Colorado's Grand Valley region. For active retirees, Grand Junction is the gateway to natural wonders and outdoor activities.
