Planting Roots - High Desert Life - The Christi Reece Group

When people picture Colorado, they think deep snow and ski towns. Then they get to the Grand Valley and find sunshine, the Monument, and Palisade orchards. This place is high desert — and once you understand what that means, it all makes sense. In this episode of Planting Roots, Christi Reece walks you through what living here actually feels like: 245 days of sun, a dry climate your skin will notice, and four real seasons that are milder than the postcard version. The hot, dry summers and monsoon storms. The golden falls everyone loves. The mild winters with one gray, foggy catch — and the local trick for beating it. The blossoms and wind of spring. If you're thinking about a move to Grand Junction or anywhere on the Western Slope, this is the stuff we help people sort out every day. Got questions about a specific neighborhood, what a yard takes to maintain, or which part of the valley gets the most sun? Reach out to The Christi Reece Group.
