Bass Pro Shops (Formerly Cabela's)

Arriving at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s in Grand Junction, you can feel the dry heat of western Colorado in the air — wide roads, pale sky, red rock in the distance, and that quiet desert stillness that stretches far beyond the horizon 🌄🌬️. This part of the state feels open and powerful, shaped by canyons, plateaus, and the slow movement of the Colorado River. Step inside, and the temperature drops into a calm, cool comfort. The heavy wood, stone textures, huge aquariums, boats, hunting gear, fishing walls, boots, and outdoor clothing create a grounded, rugged atmosphere 🎣🦌👢. It feels like a shelter built for people who live close to land, water, and distance. There’s a steady, unhurried feeling here. No rush — just space to walk, look, and breathe. During colder months, the store becomes especially cozy, with soft lighting and seasonal decorations adding warmth against the mountain air ❄️🌲🙂. Once you walk back outside, the landscape opens again — long highways, dry wind, distant cliffs, and that unmistakable Western quiet that makes the road feel endless 🚗🌄. This Cabela’s doesn’t feel like just a store. It feels like a pause point between desert, river, and mountain — a calm stop before the next stretch of road. Strong land, wide sky, steady air — and a place that fits right into it.

It's a truly huge store. They have everything you could possibly need for camping, fishing, and textiles. The decor is wonderful. Some sections of the store have a rustic feel. I was impressed.
