Narrative:

Approach cleared us to land on runway 29; switched to tower and was cleared to land runway 29 left base entry. On final for runway 29 my first officer asked which runway I was setting up for. I said runway 29 and he said it was the other one. We were in a position to land on the other runway 22; but I didn't have time to look without going around and reentering. Winds were calm with no traffic conflicts. Runways 22 and 29 at gjt come together at a point and on the airport diagram the numbers are listed close together. I thought that I must have looked at it wrong and ended up landing on runway 22. Supplemental information from acn 762856: flying into grand junction; approach cleared us for the visual runway 29. I read back cleared visual runway 29. We switched over to tower control and tower told us left base runway 29 clear to land. I read back that information correctly. The captain who was flying set up correctly for a left base runway 29. I looked down at my airport diagram and got confused. The runway numbers on the chart are real close together. I thought we were set up on the wrong runway so I told the captain so. He trusted me and turned final for runway 22 instead of runway 29. We safely landed and tower made us aware of our mistake. No other planes were in the area and safety was never an issue. If I had read the airport diagram correctly there never would have been an issue.
