The closest town to Vermejo is Raton, New Mexico. Raton is about 40 miles from the Vermejo headquarters, making this one of the most remote destinations and the largest private nature reserve in the United States. Because of its remoteness, most employees who work at Vermejo live on the reserve.
Vermejo provides housing and meals at no cost to our seasonal employees. Housing is dormitory style, and most staff have a private room and bathroom with a shared common space with washers and dryers. Seasonal housing is equipped with WIFI internet and basic furniture, including a bed, dresser, night stand, and lamp. These seasonal staff rooms do not have kitchens. Three meals a day are served from our employee dining room in the main lodge building. AT&T phone service is the only cellular service available on the ranch.
With snowcapped alpine tundra, 19 fishable lakes and over 550,000 stunning acres of picturesque lands, Vermejo is the jewel of northern New Mexico. Its diverse landscape is home to a wide variety of wildlife including elk, bison, black bears and mountain lions. Whether riding horseback through open fields, exploring turn-of-the-century charcoal kilns, or fly fishing for Rio Grande cutthroat trout, Vermejo has something for everyone.
