If you've ever wanted to visit Utah, but don't know where to go, you might be interested in finding out how far it is from Fruita. This small town is part of the Grand Valley and was originally a stop for motorists between Denver and Salt Lake City. The area quickly gained fame as a mountain biking destination during the 1995-2000 mountain bike boom. While there are some fun things to do in Fruita, like visiting ripe peaches, you can also enjoy the many wine tasting rooms in neighboring Palisade. And don't miss the MTB trails in red rock country.
