Traveling to Palisade by RV

Palisade is right on I-70 at exit 42, about 12 miles east of Grand Junction in the Grand Valley. The interstate through this section runs flat and easy alongside the Colorado River, making it simple to pull off for a dump stop without any mountain driving concerns. Heading east from Palisade, I-70 enters DeBeque Canyon with moderate grades and occasional rockfall zones that require attention in larger rigs. Westbound toward Grand Junction and Fruita, the driving is straightforward through the valley floor. The town itself is compact and easy to navigate, though during peach season the roads through the orchard district can get busy with farm stand traffic. Fuel is available at the I-70 exit, with full shopping and supply options in nearby Grand Junction. The Palisade Plunge mountain bike trail from the rim down to town has become a major draw, so expect increased traffic on the access roads during summer weekends.

Explore the Palisade Area

Time your visit for mid-August through September to experience Palisade's legendary peach harvest -- farm stands line the roads with fresh fruit, and the annual Palisade Peach Festival draws crowds from across the state. The wine trail is best explored by tow vehicle or bicycle rather than your full rig, as the tasting rooms are spread along narrow agricultural roads through the orchards. Dump your tanks before heading east through DeBeque Canyon if you're continuing toward Glenwood Springs, as services thin out through the canyon stretch. Propane is available at dealers in the Grand Junction area. Early morning is the best time for the Palisade Rim Trail hike, avoiding the afternoon heat that can be intense in the Grand Valley during summer months.
