What makes a good sunset in Grand Junction?
Grand Junction is the gateway to Colorado National Monument, one of the most underrated sunset destinations in the Southwest. The Wingate sandstone cliffs and canyon formations catch warm light in a way similar to Moab — deep red and orange tones that intensify at golden hour. The high desert air is reliably dry, which means color arrives strong and lasts. Rim Rock Drive inside the monument puts you above the canyon at eye level with the setting sun.
What time is sunset in Grand Junction tonight?
Grand Junction sunset ranges from around 5:00 PM in December to 8:35 PM in June. Tonight's exact time is shown in the score card above, updated daily from live weather data.
