Butterflies / Moths of Highline Lake State Park

Highline Lake State Park lies within the Grand Valley of western Colorado at the eastern edge of the Great Basin, about 20 miles west and north of Grand Junction. The park encompasses about 570 acres and consists of Mack Mesa Reservoir and Highline Lake, and lands surrounding these bodies of water. The area is surrounded by the striking landscapes of the Colorado National Monument, the Uncompahgre Plateau, the San Juan Mountains, and the Book and Roan cliffs. The park's dry climate is coupled with moderate winters, and hot summers to produce a variety of habitat types. less ↑
