Gelu Italian Ice

Gelu Italian Ice is Grand Junction, Colorado’s premium Italian ice vendor. At Gelu we are dedicated to happy taste buds, healthy living and having fun! Our Italian ice, also known as water ice, is a perfect mixture of fruit, water, sugar and other flavorings blended into a smooth, creamy refreshing dessert. Gelu Italian Ice was founded in Grand Junction, the “banana belt” of Colorado and home to flourishing vineyards and fruit orchards. We take pride in where we live and how we live so we try to source locally-grown fruit whenever possible. However, other fresh and frozen fruits, concentrates, juices and purees are also used to provide the very highest quality and best-tasting products for our customers.

Mount Garfield

The most noticeable landmark of this range is Mount Garfield, which is located in Grand Junction. This mountain is only a two-mile hike up, but the elevation change is 2,000 feet, making it a very challenging climb. The crusty dirt on the trail can be slick at times, so hiking poles are recommended, especially on the way down.

These trails are steep and challenging, and sturdy hiking shoes are recommended due to the rocky terrain and unstable footing. Despite the strenuous climb, however, hikers attest to the spectacular views at the top, making the trek well worth the effort.
