Things To Do
Extend your weekend: Moab, Utah
If you have time before or after the wedding weekend, we'd highly suggest you take a trip to Moab, Utah. Moab is a sight unlike any other! Boasting two National Parks (Arches & Canyonlands), ancient red rock rising up into the bright blue sky, miles of slickrock for mountain biking, a cute downtown with restaurants & shopping, & all under 2 hour drive from Palisade.
Colorado National Monument
Experience towering monoliths within a breathtaking plateau and canyon panorama. You can experience sheer-walled, red rock canyons along the twists and turns of Rim Rock Drive, where you may spy bighorn sheep and soaring eagles.
Extend your weekend: Telluride
Set at 8,750', this former Victorian mining town feels like something straight out of a movie. Enjoy incredible views, hiking, shopping, dining, & a breathtaking trip on the gondola.
Suncrest Orchard Alpacas and Fiber Works
We haven't been here but definitely plan to go soon! Come learn about all things alpaca at this working farm (one of TWO alpaca farms in the area).
Grand Junction
There's a ton to see & do in Grand Junction. You can head there from Palisade for a couple or hours, or a few days. You might even be able to catch Grand Junction's Oktoberfest celebration! If you arrive by air into GJT, you'll be in Grand Junction, which is only a 17 minute drive from Palisade.
Hiking & Mountain Biking near Palisade
This link to Alltrails.com has some great trail recommendations with difficulty level included. Palisade Rim Trail seems like a great option, with Mt. Garfield being a more difficult option. These trails can also be biked. Be sure to wear comfortable clothes, bring layers, & don't skimp on the water.
U-Pick Orchards
Palisade's harvest season typically runs through early October. If the weather is in our favor October 2020 you'll be able to find some apples & pears for the picking!
