Riverfront Trail - Monument View Section
The Colorado Riverfront Commission has opened the 8 mile long Monument View Section of the Colorado Riverfront Trail for pedestrians and bicyclists. The Grand Opening of this section of trail was held on September 5, 2014.
This paved trail connects to the other sections of the Colorado Riverfront Trail in Grand Junction at Redlands Parkway near the Junior Service League Park and the Redlands Parkway Boat Ramp. From this location, the Monument View Trail heads along the Colorado River to Walter Walker State Wildlife Area. The trail then parallels Interstate 70 and runs adjacent to the river for a stretch. It then follows along side the Interstate 70 Frontage Road to Heritage Park in Fruita.
The trailhead in Fruita is in Heritage Park. This park is located on Interstate 70 Frontage Road between S. Mesa Avenue and S. Maple. The park is just about a block east of the Colorado Welcome Center at the interchange of Interstate 70 and Highway 340.
This newly opened stretch of trail has fabulous views of the Colorado National Monument to the southeast. It also provides access to the trail system for the residents of Fruita. Many tourists stay in Fruita while visiting the Monument and this section of trail will be another recreational opportunity for these visitors.
