Farmland and open meadows in Mack
Mack is surrounded by prairies and hilly countryside homesteads. This rural community comes to life for Country Jam, a four-day festival in July drawing over 100,000 country music fans to a field below the mountains dressed in their best western wear. With abundant acreage and hiking trails through canyon ravines, Mack is a pastoral paradise in the town of Loma just 22 miles west of Downtown Grand Junction. "Most of the Loma-Mack area is agricultural," says Michelle Renstrom, who grew up in Grand Junction and works as a real estate agent at Studt Realty. "It's people with animals in communities without HOAs. It's a quiet little place in a wonderful valley."
Nestled in the Grand Valley, Mack offers a tranquil escape in Western Colorado.
The Mack area has access to many nearby trails including the Rabit's Ear Trailhead.

Farmhouses with barns or New Traditional homes in new subdivisions
Most houses in Mack sit on several acres with views of the Grand Valley's multiple mountain ranges. Single-family home prices typically range from $550,000 to $850,000. At the low end, ranch-style homes and farmhouses with over 2,000 square feet have 5-to-10-acre lots often paired with chicken coops, barns, stables and land enclosed by barbed-wire fences. New Traditional homes built in the 2020s are scattered across brand-new subdivisions, like Cattlemens Subdivision and the Coyote Hills subdivision, which are still being developed. Homes in these enclaves cost between $700,000 and $850,000. "In my opinion, Mack is the new suburb that Grand Junction will grow towards," Renstrom says. Country Living Park is a neighborhood of manufactured homes with a park, a swimming pool and barbecue grills. Manufactured homes in this community range from $150,000 to $300,000.

Highline Lake also has campgrounds, hiking trails and a 7-mile mountain biking course around two lakes. The Kokopelli Trail climbs a rocky ravine and red canyons on a 142-mile mountain biking path to Moab, Utah. The Kern Oasis is a privately owned recreation center with a rock-climbing wall, swimming pool and zipline. The Rabbit's Ear Trail is a 4.8-mile loop, which elevates up to 700 feet with views of the Colorado River snaking through the canyons. The Hawkeye Trail and the Lion's Head Trail lead to Rattlesnake Canyon, with pink and red-streaked walls and natural bridges to walk across floating rock structures.

Headlining artists at Country Jam, one of Colorado's biggest events
In July, RVs flood the campgrounds on U.S. Route 6 for Country Jam. "It's crazy. We get big headliners at Country Jam, so it draws a lot of people from Colorado and Utah," Renstrom says. "People think of Country Jam when they think of Mack." In September, the Fruita Fall Festival has live music, a craft vendor fair, and a parade with activities like an outhouse race. The Fruita Farmers and Makers Market features handmade goods, fresh meat and produce each Saturday morning through October in Downtown Fruita.
