Our Wedding

How do I get to Grand Junction?

There are a few options for travel to Grand Junction. 1. Fly directly to the Grand Junction Regional Airport (GJT). This is the most convenient option, but flights will likely be more expensive. 2. Fly into Montrose Regional Airport (MTJ). Montrose often has cheaper flights than the Grand Junction airport, and is only a 1.5 hour drive away. You would need to pick up a rental car, then drive to Grand Junction.&nbsp; 3. Fly into Denver International Airport (DIA). From Denver, you may rent a car, take the Amtrak, or take Bustang (regional bus) to Grand Junction. Denver is about a 4-hour drive from Grand Junction on a good day :)&nbsp; 4. Fly into Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC). SLC is also ~4 hours away from Grand Junction. You would have to rent a car from the airport and drive to Grand Junction.&nbsp;
