A fruit-growing region for more than a century, the East Grand Valley area along the Colorado River at the base of the Book Cliffs and Grand Mesa is known in particular for its peaches. Apples, apricots, cherries and plums also are plentiful, and roadside fruit stands are common sights in season. Vineyards also flourish here. Palisade is home to several wineries producing traditional grape wines as well as those made from other fruits. Bicycling, river floats and hiking are popular choices for outdoor recreation.
