Grand Mesa Color Sunday Drive - Road Trippin' in Colorado
ROAD TRIPPIN’ - **Suggest you watch in FULL SCREEN for best view** Feelin’ a little nostalgic that I’m coming up on my 5 yr anniversary of moving to Colorado from San Diego. It was a dream I’ve had since I was 8 yrs old after visiting a dude ranch in Colorado and I announced “I’m moving to Colorado when I grow up!! I’m a country girl trapped in the city.”
These pics were taken while driving up & over the Colorado Grand Mesa on “Color Sunday” just 2 weeks after moving here in 2010. The slideshow is to give you a sense of what it looks & feels like from the front seat of a Mustang convertible. I hope you enjoy it.
95% of these pictures were taken from behind the wheel of my ’07 Mustang GT convertible while rolling down the scenic highway (hence some blur at times). That’s the great thing about having a convertible, there’s no roof to obstruct the views. (By the way if you’re interested, my Mustang is for sale, has low miles and is in excellent condition!) I have become quite proficient at driving with one hand (or one eye) and shooting pictures & Flip cam movies with the other (especially if I rest my hand on top of my windshield). This is NOT something I’d recommend in California but while country driving in Colorado the traffic is nearly non existent most of the time.
What used to be called “Color Sunday” has now become an entire “Color Weekend” celebrated on the Colorado Western Slope. To enjoy this official scenic byway, travel I-70 then keep an eye out between Debeque and Grand Junction to take exit 49 off the I-70 and travel South on Hwy 65 toward Powderhorn Ski Resort. Just follow it all the way up & over the Mesa (through Cedaredge) and it will drop you off in Delta. It’s just one of many beautiful drives around the western side of the Rocky Mountains that I encourage anyone with an adventuresome spirit to put it on their bucket list.
The Grand Mesa is the world’s largest flattop mountain and home to more than 300 lakes, reservoirs & ponds. “Color Weekend” occurs the last weekend of September every year. The ski lift at Powderhorn Ski Resort is open to ride & get a unique perspective of the colors on the mountain as well as a grand view of the arid valley below to the East which offers a stark contrast indeed. Powderhorn also opens their cafe, bar & grill for those who forget to bring a picnic lunch. Enjoying lunch or drinks out on their deck is an absolute must with the delightful views.
Two weeks after making the big move to Colorado from San Diego (where I’d lived my entire life) and at the ripe “old age” of 49, I began a new chapter of my life here in the Grand Valley on the Western Slope. At a downtown Grand Junction car show I discovered the local Mustang Club and was delighted when they invited me to tag along with them for the drive the following day.
“Color Sunday” is a long time tradition here on the Colorado Western Slope and it’s quite a beautiful experience that I recommend to anyone interested in the beauty of mother nature as she transitions from one season to the next. Spring and summer here in the Grand Valley are indeed breathtakingly beautiful with all the colorful vineyards and fruit orchards in Palisade and East Orchard Mesa and with the spectacular colored canyons, mountains, Bookcliffs and buttes all around us. But Fall... is truly spectacular in all its glory. These pictures with my cheap camera simply can’t do it justice... you must see with your own eyes!
These pictures have not been touched up (only a few were cropped) and taken with a fairly inexpensive Canon 35mm camera so that’s why they’re not professional-grade nor am I a professional photographer so please don’t judge the 'quality'. Also some were taken from behind the windshield hence the weird reflections & smudges in a few. I just wanted to share this with anyone interested in seeing what it looks like here in the Fall.
Enjoy the ride!

Joel and Landon take us on Palisade Rim Trail in Palisade Colorado. Because the usual up route was suffering from high water we had to hike-a-bike up the downhill. But a great downhill it was. Sam leads in the first of the video, but after I stopped to fiddle with the camera I never saw him again and made my own way back down. Music by Bob Schneider and Gary Jules.
