About

The Lunch Line trail is a short, difficult hiking route located in Grand Junction, Colorado, within the Lunch Loop Trail System. Starting off Little Park Road near the top of the Tabeguache trail section, the path climbs over rough and broken slickrock and rocky dirt. The 0.5-mile trail connects to the Eagle's Wing Trail, leading hikers to Eagle's Nest Rock. This vantage point offers views of the Colorado National Monument, BLM Bangs Canyon Management Area, and the Book Cliffs. The terrain is technical and steep, requiring a moderate to high level of physical fitness. Parking is available at the trailhead. The area supports non-motorized mixed use, including mountain biking and trail running, though bicycles are prohibited on certain trails within the Colorado National Monument and adjacent private lands to the west. The trail is accessible year-round.
