For something new, a traveler must go farther west in the state, where a budding yet still relatively unknown region called the Grand Valley has become Colorado's next must-visit destination.
Colorado's iconic destinations have seemingly been around forever, and we know their names by heart: Vail, Aspen and Breckenridge, to name a few, along with Denver, a city that has exploded in the past decade.
A horse-drawn carriage goes clippity-clop down Palisade's rose-lined streets, past farm stands and wine tasting rooms bursting with color. The landscape is dominated by peach orchards, vineyards and, depending on which way you look, a memorable combination of mountain peaks and desert canyon cliffs. "There's something about this place," Sanders said."Putting your feet up on a porch, getting into a glass of wine, having sticky hands after eating a peach, knowing that all the farmers and locals are really nice people and easy to talk to. ... That's the life we're living here."
The harvest can also be enjoyed in Palisade's restaurants, incorporated into the refined dishes at Pêche, the weekend burger night at Maison La Belle Vie, the cocktails at Fidel's, the fresh-made bread and sandwiches at Slice O Life Bakery, and the sweet treats at Palisade Pies. "But as Palisade has evolved, we have been taken more seriously," Flynn said."More people have come in and realized that the wine here is on par -- if not better -- than the wine grown west of us, and that Palisade offers a really unique terrain and growing region that is enticing people from out of state to come in, pick up where the pioneers left off, refine what they created for us and be a part of this up-and-coming scene.
You can see the merging of the rivers on a bike via the Riverfront Trail. Hop on at Las Colonias Park and cruise downstream, ending at Connected Lakes. Want a closer look? Jump on the river by renting a paddleboard or raft from Grand Junction Adventures at Las Colonias Park. At the far western end of the valley, just 19 miles from the Utah border, you'll find Fruita, a small city with a big reputation for its world-class mountain biking, including the Zippity Loop in the North Fruita Desert. Hikers should head to the Devil's Canyon Trail system to wander its cliffs, canyons and streams.
