Palisades Country Store
In the late 1970s, the Palisades country store closed and stayed closed. Though several families have tried to re-open the store, the low level of traffic and business in town has made it impossible. Since the railroads stopped running through town in 1985, Palisades has not changed much, however. Though there are many farms and ranches in the Palisades area, the majority of traffic through town, especially in the summer months, seems to be from those heading to Douglas Creek. Though few people in the county know of Douglas Creek, it should be known that the locals themselves avidly avoid the area. The beautiful mountain trails, falls and pools have been a gathering place for teenagers and “hippies” for as long as those in Palisades can remember.
