MESA
A Playground in the Air
HOUSING
Although there are a few communities where home buyers can find homes in small towns on city-sized lots, there are also lots of large and small acreage parcels and properties. Closer to the ski area and in a few pockets in the national forest on top there are also vacation homes and cabins.
PUBLIC PLACES TO ENJOY THE OUTDOORS
Some might point out that almost all of the Grand Mesa is a public place to enjoy the outdoors, with a large chunk of the land carved out as national forest, and some of it set aside as Bureau of Land Management land. There are campgrounds, hiking, biking, ATV, dirt bike and horseback trails and roads all over the Grand Mesa. There are also plenty of lakes where locals love to fish and paddle.
In the winter, Grand Mesa offers both downhill skiing and snowboarding, as well as Nordic skiing at three different groomed areas.
Grand Mesa also offers good opportunities for hunting and fishing.
ENTERTAINMENT, DINING AND SHOPPING
Entertainment on Grand Mesa is all about the outdoors; no one moves or visits for the night life. There are a few restaurants in the small towns on Grand Mesa and limited shopping.
SCHOOLS
There is one school, Plateau Valley School, that serves K-12 students on the north side of Grand Mesa, which includes the towns of Mesa, Collbran and Molina. On the other side of the mesa, students attend Cedaredge schools, which are part of the Delta School system.
