Matador Travel: An Emerging Online Travel Community

Please note: This is a partnership post.

One thing I’ve learned since quitting my day job and becoming a full-time travel writer: the future of travel writing, travel guides and travel communities is online.

It’s nice to get published in traditional print media, if only because it gives me something to show my technologically oblivious Grandmother, but there’s no doubt that we’re at the tail-end of dead-tree press.

Grand Junction is situated at the confluence of two mighty Western rivers - the Colorado and the Gunnison - in the high desert just east of the Colorado/Utah border.

Grand Junction is part farming town, part college town, part retiree haven and part headquarters for the gas industry. Every segment of it’s population thinks it suits their needs well.

For most west-bound tourists, this is where they get their car repaired, stock up on ice and supplies and get one last shopping mall fix or fine restaurant meal before heading out into the harsh desert. Among outdoor enthusiasts, it’s considered a jumping off point for adventures in southern Utah and southwestern Colorado, but you don’t really have to travel far from Grand Junction before you can enjoy some of the best outdoor recreation activities of their kind.
