600,000 acres of private land — one of the largest ranches in the country. My handful of pics don’t do it justice. Everything about the ranch is wonderful: The fish, the streams, the lakes, and the land make for a unique and wonderful experience. The staff and accommodations are incredible.
Our view from the lodge
The No.1 stream, a short walk from the lodge. The streams are full of brookies, browns, and rio grande cutthroat
Some alpine lakes up near the tree line. We caught some beautiful brookies up here.
Wading the lakes was a great way to spend an afternoon.
…probably gonna get hazed for this one…had to go with the kung fu grip
This guy ate an adult damsel on top
Casa Grande (Ted Turner’s pad)
As usual, I didn’t take enough pictures. On top of the Ranch’s beauty, the fishing is really good. The service is unrivaled. A private chef for a week spoils you with beef, quail, bison, elk, veal, crab legs, wine, etc, etc.
The transportation to and from wasn’t bad either.
A few pic finally posted, I’m not sure why the others didn’t upload but will try again this evening.
Grant –
File size was too large – try resizing in Photoshop or the equivalent before posting.
Umm, do you know The Ted? Or was the Learjet some sort of private favor?
Cool pics; that house is awesome. Remind me what part of the Rockies this is in. New Mexico?
Zach
Thanks for sharing, that first photo is really incredible. Hard to believe it is from an iphone…awesome.
Zach — I’ll try resizing this evening and posting the additional pictures….don’t know Ted, in fact, they say he is rarely out there. I piggy backed on a friends jet, changing the 7+ hour drive to a 40 minute commute. Vermejo sits just NW of Raton, NM and just SW of Trinidad, CO. Most of the ranch is in NM, but a portion spills over into CO.
Colin — It’s amazing what an iPhone with the camera+ app can do. It seems like I never take my digital SLR along anymore.
Best fish of the trip!
