If you truly want to do something great for your dad on Father's Day this year, don't just take him out to lunch and call it good...plan something you know he loves to do! There are so many great Father's Day adventure options available in the Grand Junction Area.

Indoor Shooting Range

The Rocky Mountain Gun Club has a state-of-the-art indoor shooting range. They have lanes for pistols, and tactical rifles. The best part is, they also have an archery lane (I love archery). They have a huge selection of firearms, and bows available for rent. They also offer classes and training. If your dad is into guns, this is the place to take him.

Horseback Riding

Rimrock Adventures offers a lot of services, but one of them is their horseback rides. They offer several different guided horseback rides, throughout the area. Prices can vary, but it's all pretty affordable. If your dad loves to explore the wilderness, this is a great option.

River Rafting

There are a few companies that offer guided river tours, I usually use Rimrock Adventures or Adventure Bound. The river is pretty steady and calm through this area, so your dad doesn't have to be a river rafting expert to enjoy the adventure.

Fishing

There are an overwhelming amount of great fishing areas in the Grand Junction area. Some of the most popular are Connected Lakes, Shadow Lake, Island Acres, and Highline Lake. Either way, I know your dad will enjoy a peaceful day of fishing.

Hiking

If your dad is more the adventurous type, then plan out a family hike and picnic. There are so many great trails in the area, but if you're looking for something a little more physically challenging check out Serpents Trail. If you're looking for something a little easier, but still with breathtaking views, check out Devil's Kitchen.

Fruita Rec Center

The pools at the Fruita Rec Center are probably my favorite in the area. They have a little lazy river, which is perfect for lazing about, and indoor and outdoor pools. This is another great way your dad can just relax and enjoy his day.

Whether your dad is an adventurer, or likes peaceful relaxation, there are a lot of great options available for him to enjoy his Fathers day. Either way, make sure you plan out in advance, so he can truly enjoy his Father's Day.
