For what it's worth, last year we ate right near I-70 and Horizon Drive in GJ. A BBQ would take us 15-20 minutes off the interstate to the grub....then take the scenic road along the National Monument (340) and return to I-70 at the Fruita exit. I am guessing that a BBQ would add about 1-2 hours in GJ.....just starting to formulate plans...
BBQ location (casa) would be near the south entrance to the Colorado National Monument in Grand Junction in this general area:

Anyone have thoughts on BBQ vs restaurant?
