Colorado Riverfront Trail
Riverfront Trail
A paved trail along the Colorado River connecting Grand Junction, Fruita and Palisade, linking several state park river sections.
The Riverfront Trail is paved along the Colorado River. The plan is to connect Fruita to Palisade over about 50 km, and most of it is now complete. Along the way it passes through several areas of the James M. Robb Colorado River State Park, with lakes, wetlands and riverbank cottonwood forests, making it good for cycling, walking and birdwatching. A common route runs from the city toward the National Monument, with red rock as the backdrop. You can also ride from Palisade to the wineries. Bicycles can be rented in the city, the trail is free, and parking within the state park areas is paid.
