If US to US, you could more likely make a connection in 1:15, so long as the incoming flight is on time. You wouldn't have to worry about security, transferring terminals, etc, just getting from one gate to the other.
Using an AS companion ticket fare. Getting to Grand Juntion from KOA is never an easy task.
