Palisade Colorado

Follow Hylonlad blog at: http://www.artspeck.com
Palisade is a short drive back east towards Denver where grapes and succulent peaches are grown.

Visitors can take a free tour of the vineyards, and every September, a wine festival is held in Riverbend Park.

Stomp grapes to music, pig-out from the many booths selling fresh local food, taste the local wine, watch cooking demonstrations, buy gifts from the many craft stalls or listen to the many bands from the program of music.

Take a bike ride for views of the valleys, visit wineries, and see wild feral horses roam freely, or walk along the historic stagecoach trail which winds to the top of the Bookcliffs.

Take a hike to Mt. Garfield Trail, a two-mile long, 2,000-vertical-foot climb, a section of the Colorado Plateau, or for the less adventurous, Gearhart Mine Trail extends over two miles without much climbing.

Island Acres is just 5 miles east of Palisade, with camping facilities, fishing and swimming in any of 3 lakes next to the Colorado River on which you can enjoy rafting and tubing.
