1 V E R M E J O P A R K R A N C H ABOUT TED TURNER EXPEDITIONS Ted Turner Expeditions is rooted in two million acres of wild, private North American landscape acquired by Ted Turner as a pioneering investment in balancing conservation and economic sustainability. The restoration of habitats, conservation of threatened and imperiled species, and increase of biodiversity are the cornerstones of Ted s vision. His vast, pristine, working landscapes and their ground-breaking conservation practices give voice to the visionary in all of us. ABOUT VERMEJO PARK RANCH Purchased by Turner in 1996 and the largest Ted Turner Expeditions (TTX) vacation property at over 590,000 acres, Vermejo offers infinite opportunity for exploration. Located in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado, Vermejo is nothing short of spectacular with diverse terrain spanning from short-grass prairie to alpine tundra mountains at 13,000 feet. Vermejo Park is home to abundant wildlife populations, including large herds of elk, deer, pronghorn antelope and bison, along with black bears, mountain lions, and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. The ranch is also home to a variety of birds, with over 180 species catalogued on the ranch, including Merriam s turkey, bald and golden eagles, and red-tailed hawks. Like all TTX properties, Vermejo is especially rich in history, containing coal and gold mining settlements, adobe ruins, petroglyphs, artifacts and abandoned charcoal ovens. In partnership with Ted Turner Expeditions (TTX), Vermejo Park Ranch offers unparalleled opportunities to enjoy and interact with the natural world and serves as one of the premiere eco-tourism destinations in the West. Vermejo adventure activities include hiking, biking, fishing, wildlife viewing, birdwatching, photography tours, and more.
