Covered in a blanket of pure white snow, the 23,000 acres of Colorado’s Kessler Canyon becomes a winter wonderland ideal for celebrating a De Beque Christmas. In addition to the wonderful accommodations, recreational activities and dining experiences at our luxurious wildlife resort, nearby Grand Junction, Colorado is illuminated with Christmas decorations and hosts various Christmas events. On December 5, 2009, over 100 floats will stream down Main Street to delight thousands of spectators. Grand Junction’s Spirit of Christmas Walk on December 11, 2009 is a tradition during which visitors and locals head to Downtown’s Main Street for live entertainment, a visit from Santa Claus and holiday cookies and warm beverages served by Downtown Grand Junction merchants. Or experience the nostalgia of Palisade’s Olde Fashioned Christmas with holiday events, shopping and favorite characters converging on December 12, 2009. On Christmas day, Kessler Canyon’s unmatched scenery provides the ultimate backdrop for waking up to a white Colorado Christmas.
