The Wrap
Michigan folks know lakes, and a Kool 107.9 writer who grew up in Michigan and moved to the high desert found more than 300 of them on the Grand Mesa. The flat-topped mountain covers about 500 square miles and climbs to around 11,000 feet, and plenty of those lakes are reservoirs that send water down to the valley. Not bad for a mountaintop.
