  • The Grand Valley is an extended populated valley, approximately 30 miles (48 km) long and 5 miles (8.0 km) wide, located along the Colorado River in Mesa County (and slightly into Garfield County) in western Colorado and Grand County in eastern Utah in the Western United States. The valley contains the city of Grand Junction, as well as other smaller communities such as Fruita and Palisade. The valley is a major fruit-growing region that contains many orchards and vineyards, and is home to one of two designated American Viticultural Areas in Colorado: the Grand Valley AVA. It takes its name from the "Grand River", the historical name of the Colorado River upstream from its confluence with the Green River that was used by locals in the late 19th and early 20th century. The valley is the most densely populated area on the Colorado Western Slope, with Grand Junction serving as an unofficial capital of the region, as a counterpoint to Denver on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains in the Colorado Front Range. Interstate 70 and U.S. Highway 6 run through the valley from west-to-east. The Grand Valley is part of the larger Colorado Plateau desert lands. (en)
  • El Gran Valle es un alargado y poblado valle de 48 km de longitud y 5 km de anchura en los Estados Unidos, situado a lo largo del río Colorado, en el oeste del estado de Colorado y este de Utah. El valle contiene la ciudad de Grand Junction, así como otras menores como Fruita y Palisade, todas en Colorado. Es famoso por tener gran número de huertos de árboles frutales. Toma su nombre del Grand River (Gran Río, en español), nombre histórico del curso alto del río Colorado, que se usaba a fines del siglo XIX y principios del XX. Forma parte de la Meseta del Colorado. El valle estuvo durante siglos poblado por la tribu india de los Ute, hasta 1885 cuando fueron obligados a emigrar a reservas. * Datos: Q5595214 * Multimedia: Grand Valley (Colorado-Utah) / Q5595214 (es)
