Vermejo Park Ranch

Vermejo Park Ranch is a luxury wilderness resort and conservation reserve spanning 558,000+ acres (920 square miles) in Northern New Mexico, larger than most national parks. Owned and operated as a Ted Turner Reserve, it represents a commitment to ecosystem restoration and sustainable land management.

Located approximately 40 miles west of Raton, New Mexico via Highway 555, Vermejo Park Ranch is accessible by vehicle from the Raton area. The property encompasses diverse terrain ranging from alpine tundra to prairie grasslands.

While Vermejo Park Ranch is not primarily a shooting range facility, the property offers 45+ wilderness activities including:

• •Fishing: 19 fishable lakes and 30 miles of pristine streams stocked with Rio Grande cutthroat trout
• •Wildlife Safaris: North American wildlife viewing opportunities featuring 1,200+ bison and abundant elk
• •Horseback Riding: Guided trail rides across vast prairies
• •E-Biking: Guided tours through dense forest terrain
• •Hiking & Nature Exploration: Extensive trail systems across the property
• •Antler Shed Hunting: Seasonal springtime activity

Guests enjoy two half-day activities daily, three gourmet meals prepared by Executive Chef Giovanni Lanzante, lodging in historic cottages or eco-friendly cabins, and personalized itinerary planning through Reserve Ambassadors. The property emphasizes wildlife conservation and native ecosystem restoration.

This property functions as a luxury wildlife and wilderness destination rather than a traditional shooting range. Visitors interested in hunting or shooting sports should contact the property directly to inquire about available options.
