Small open-space preserve on red-rock mesas and sagebrush above Grand Junction. Photograph sweeping desert landscapes, scrubby foregrounds, layered ridgelines and vivid sunsets; spring wildflowers add color. Easy roadside parking and short trails; best light at sunrise/sunset. Accessible year-round but hot summers; low light pollution suits nightscapes.
