Explore Ranches

Deep in the rugged heart of the Davis Mountains, Withers Ranch requires a bit of grit to reach. Eleven miles down primitive roads, accessible only by a four-wheel-drive vehicle. But for those willing to journey past the highway’s end, the reward is an untouched paradise hidden in far West Texas.

Since 1972, this family-owned sanctuary has been dedicated to the preservation of nature. Protected by a strict conservation easement, it forms part of a magnificent 100,000-acre Nature Conservancy bioreserve. Here, the desert gives way to heavily timbered canyons lush with oak, juniper, and rare maple trees, while the music of Madera Creek provides the soundtrack to your stay.

Days are spent tracking elk and mule deer through the high country, birding for rare migratory species, or swimming in secret mountain pools. Evenings belong to dramatic Western storms and sunsets that set the sky ablaze. This isn’t a standard vacation; it is a rare, intimate invitation into one of Texas’s most fiercely guarded ecosystems.

At Vermejo, you have over half a million acres of stunning, rugged wilderness to share with your children.

Imagine starting your morning standing shoulder to shoulder on the bank, teaching them to cast a line into one of 19 fishable lakes to chase native Rio Grande cutthroat trout. Picture saddling up for a family horseback ride through vast open fields, all set against the dramatic backdrop of snowcapped alpine tundra.

Vermejo is a place where you can give your children a real, unfiltered outdoor education by day, and by night, retreat to a secluded family cottage to recount the day’s adventures over a warm meal.

These are the kind of rugged, authentic stories they’ll be passing down to their own kids one day. Hit the link in our bio to start planning your Vermejo expedition!
