The town takes its name from a meeting of waters — the Gunnison coming in to join the Colorado — and in midwinter both run dark and slow between shelves of shore ice. Grand Junction Landscaping works the season those rivers announce: plowing drives, opening walks, hauling the pile back off the apron so the next storm has somewhere to go. Snow here doesn't fall politely on a schedule; it arrives, sets up hard in the shade, and lingers where the sun never reaches. Clearing it thoroughly the first time is what keeps a property walkable all week. There's a straightforward pride in that — a property that stays open and safe while the rest of the valley is still digging out.
