PLACE 5 Fruita Parks

Hi, 

We have been to all the Grand Junction city parks many times but not Fruita. Today we checked out all the Fruita city parks. 


We all agreed that Roberson Park which is the top left was our favorite. After checking out all the parks, we chose to have our picnic at James M Robb Co River State Park which is in Fruita.
Today was fun. Our daughter 🙋and dog 🐕joined us on this outing.

Lazy Camping Idea: Sleep in the car if you have the appropriate vehicle. We have a SUV and use inflatable mattress in our car instead of putting up a tent sometimes.

Have a great day and night,

💕 50+ Lazy Campers

PLACE 3 MCNCA- McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area

Image
Hi,   Today we went to the McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area. (MCNCA). It is 123,4000 acre area west of Grand Junction. It was named after Scott McInnis and it is run by the BLM. There are 4 free campgrounds and are located south of I-70 exit 2. We had a picnic at this campsite.  Our dog joined us on this outing. He enjoyed our hike but could have done without the burs in his feet! The last place that we explored today was the High North Campground and this was on the north side of I-70, exit 2. This campground was up a steep one lane road with some small pull outs. The views from the campground were so beautiful. Lazy Camping: Make coffee by using a coffee bag and boiling water. We hope you have a good day and night, 💕 50+Lazy Campers

PLACE 11 Vega State Park

Image
  Hi, We decided to see Vega State Park this time of year. This is what we found. As you can see its very beautiful but we did not find a place to picnic! LOL! Vega State Park is 8000ft elevation. There is ice fishing, cross country skiing, and a lot of snowmobiles. Those visitors must register at the visitor center.  There are 5 cabins that are open and parking lots plowed all year.  One interesting amenity is that the park offers Landeez All Terrain wheelchairs that will go just about anywhere, for disabled visitors. Our dog had fun in the snow. We really enjoyed the beauty of the area. LAZY CAMPING: For winter camping wear long johns and at bedtime just remove outer layer and the long johns are your PJs. Have a good day and night! 💕 50+ Lazy Campers
