Redlands: Mesa County's Residential Shelf Above Grand Junction
Redlands is a census-designated place in Mesa County with about 8,700 residents, situated on an elevated bench south of Grand Junction and the Colorado River. The community sits between the Colorado National Monument to the west and the Gunnison River to the east, occupying terrain that offers wide views across the Grand Valley. Most development occurred from the 1960s onward, with larger lots and custom homes on the western edge nearest the monument.
The Colorado National Monument, with its sandstone canyons and monoliths, forms the western boundary of Redlands. Rim Rock Drive, one of the most scenic roads in the state, winds along the canyon edge above the community. Residents have direct trail access to the monument and the surrounding BLM land. The Connected Lakes State Park, along the Colorado River at the base of the Redlands mesa, provides fishing ponds and a paved trail system that links to the Riverfront Trail in Grand Junction.
Redlands is primarily residential, with limited commercial development. Residents rely on Grand Junction for shopping, employment, and services. The area attracts retirees and outdoor enthusiasts drawn to the relatively mild Western Slope climate: Grand Junction sees over 250 sunny days per year and less snowfall than the Front Range. Wine grapes grow in the Grand Valley below, and the Palisade wine region is a short drive east.
