Summer 2020 has been a strange one for Coloradans, as much of the state is still on total lockdown due to health and safety concerns. While travel and exploration are currently on hold for most people, there are still a few places where folks can safely social distance and enjoy Colorado at its finest, like the hidden gem Las Colonias Park:

Located in Grand Junction, Las Colonias Park is a 130-acre oasis that sits across the street from beautiful downtown and offers Western Slopers a quick and easy escape.
