Fall Favored: Autumn at Vermejo

See Gallery

A visit to Vermejo during the coveted Autumn months is a cherished opportunity to reunite with the natural world and rewild your soul.

The senses are stimulated with the sights and sounds of fall. The brilliant tinting and abscission of leaves washes the hills and forested pathways with glorious fire tones. Elk rut bugling punctuates the serene silence of the vast landscape as bulls vie for their harem.  Cooler waters energize cutthroat trout, who become less weary of approaching anglers.

Hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding are a breath of fresh air in the crisp autumnal mornings. Warm, sunny days intreat veranda relaxation, reserve exploration and hands on conservation. Striking sunsets give way to limitless stargazing from Vermejo’s open skies.

Harvest season in the Southern Rockies brings an abundance of flavors with garden fresh produce paired beside local of the land proteins providing sense of place with every taste. Craft cider cocktails, cookouts and s’mores alongside pumpkin carving and caramel apple dipping offer the idyllic feeling of fall festivities.

Arguably the best time of year to visit Vermejo, availability is limited to the fortunate parties who reserve early. Linger longer with Vermejo’s Escape promotion, offering a fourth or fifth night free over select dates.
