â Leo Tolstoy
Thirty-five years ago, Brian Mahoney and Larry Jones had a dream.
Decades later we walk and bike the paved paths of the Riverfront Trail. Post-COVID, weâll once again attend concerts at the Las Colonias Amphitheater. My granddaughter will be able to enjoy one of her favorite outings at the River Park at Las Colonias while boaters and paddlers put in at the nearby launch.
New jobs are being created at Las Colonias business park and on the other side of Fifth Street at the Riverfront at Dos Rios. The trail once limited to a small stretch of the Colorado River in Grand Junction now spans the Grand Valley from Palisade on the east out to Fruita and Loma and includes two of the three sections of the Colorado River State Park.
