Luxury Gold: Journey Through Colorado and New Mexico…
When you have an opportunity to stay at Ted Turner’s Vermejo Park Ranch for three nights, you simply cannot go wrong. When this is paired with exclusive dinners and activities, then you simply cannot refuse this opportunity. Beyond your unforgettable time at the Ranch, this journey also includes two nights at the iconic hotel in Colorado Springs, The Broadmoor; as well as two nights in the most desired destination in Santa Fe, La Fonda on the Plaza Hotel on Santa Fe Plaza.
Other highlights from this journey that we love is a visit to Taos Pueblo (both a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a National Historic Landmark); and the experience on The Pikes Peak Cog Railway following its 100M dollar renovation, which holds the unique distinction as the highest cog railway in the world.
Luxury Gold: Make Yourself at Home at the Ranch…
Guests will enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail each day in the Casa Grande: Once Ted Turner’s private quarters. Casa Grande is a 25,000-square-foot stone mansion restored by Jane Fonda, then Ted Turner’s wife. It blends Southwestern accents with 1900s grandeur. As you navigate through the marble column hallways, you will feel transported to an elegant 1920s soirée. This historic home boasts a billiards room, renovated chef’s kitchen, and conservatory.
“It’s really a luxury experience, but not like a commercial resort,” said Brett Tollman, president and CEO of the Travel Corporation “You feel like you’re visiting Ted Turner’s home.”
There will be 3 dinners: one will be a-la-carte, another one will be served family-style, and the last one will be cooked and served al fresco. Guests will have a guided hike to fully appreciate the ranch’s natural surroundings. It is home to over 8000 elk, 4000 mule deer, pronghorn, bison, black bears, cougars and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. Three lunches with wine will be served in main dining room. Guests will get a chance to fish in one of the rivers, which are part of the world-class fishing sanctuary that holds 19 fishable lakes and over 30 miles of streams. You will want for nothing while at the Ranch – Cinema Under the Stars, lawn games, horseback riding, 3D archery and more will round out the time here beautifully.
Luxury Gold: The Impressive Details About the Ranch…
The ranch along with its turn-of-the-century stone mansion has been turned into the flagship of what has been branded, Ted Turner Reserves. Guests can enjoy the lands as if they were Turner’s private guests while learning more about conservation from scientists and staff, who are all as committed and dedicated to the cause as Turner himself. Turner is credited with rehabilitating more than 100 miles of river and 18 lakes on the ranch and in the nearby Carson National Forest, the largest contiguous effort ever undertaken on behalf of native trout in North America.
