Founded in 1904, Palisade is an area of breathtaking beauty and agricultural bounty. Named for the austere and dramatic stone palisades of Mesa Verde Sandstone and Mancos Shale north of town, this sleepy farming community is surrounded by mesas of all shapes and sizes. Looming in front of the town are the dun-colored bluffs of the Bookcliffs, commonly called the Palisades. The Bookcliffs form many different pillars, boulders and hoodoos that balance in seemingly imfeasible positions along Interstate 70.

Palisade is peach country, home to the eponymous Palisade Peach. Over 75 percent of Colorado's grapes come from Palisade, and the town is home to over a dozen Cafes. Most visitors come in the summer months, or early fall when the grapes are being harvested.

The best times to visit Palisade are May, June or September. The weather is mild and there are an abundance of outdoor activities to enjoy. The town is probably best known for its three big festivals, Palisade Bluegrass and Roots Festival, Palisade Peach Fest, and Colorado Mountain Wine Fest].

There is an informal, rustic charm to this small town. Historic Victorian gingerbread houses line the road into town, while Main Street offers a "Norman Rockwell" setting. Most of the inhabitants know each other by first name. Travelers can experience this camaraderie first hand at the summer farmer's market, held downtown on the weekends. The market features local musicians, artists and fresh produce.

The changing seasons bring something different for visitors to enjoy. The fruit trees blossom in the early spring and the grapes hang heavy on the vines at harvest time, while the grape leaves turn red and orange in late fall.

Palisade is the perfect coda to the more frenetic and higher-priced ski resorts of Aspen or Vail. Visitors can relax on the front porch of a local inn or bed and breakfast, sip fine and enjoy the scenery, all without breaking their budgets.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Palisade

Healthy outdoor activities comprise the lion's share of fun things to do in the Grand Valley. Most of these activities will take place on one of the surrounding mesas. On top of the Bookcliffs roams a herd of federally-protected wild mustangs. It’s feasible to visit them and see this symbol of the Wild West. The Bookcliffs culminate in Mount Garfield, an icon of the Grand Valley, majestically rising above Palisade's vineyards. There is an arduous yet extremely rewarding trail to Mount Garfield's summit. To the east of town lie the verdant evergreen slopes of the Grand Mesa, largest flattop mountain in the world, and home to many great activities such as skiing, hiking, fishing and horse back riding. (No fall trip to the mesa would be complete without a drive to see the changing aspen leaves). To the south of Palisade are the red sandstone formations of the Colorado National Monument.

You can drive to all these mesas. They are also interlaced with a variety of hike-able and bike-able trails. Bring your camera. All these rocky formations provide a photogenic setting that frames the irrigated farm land on the valley floor.
