Sightseeing from 30,000 Feet - April 22, 2008 - Part 10 - Grand Mesa, Colorado



What caught my eye here was the big snow-covered mesa, which is called Grand Mesa. To the right of the mesa is Grand Junction. The canyon in the foreground is Parachute Creek Canyon. Coming into the picture from the left is the Colorado River Valley, with, appropriately, the Colorado River running through it, and, alongside the river, I-70. The valley beyond that, just in front of Grand Mesa, is the Plateau Valley.
