Wild West Labor Day Weekend
This Labor Day weekend, take a step back in time to the days of the old West. Inhale the scent of wood smoke from the Artesian grill warming up for a tasty dinner as you head out for a day in the New Mexico wilderness. From Annie Oakley to Jesse James, Doc Holliday, and Wyatt Earp, the Santa Fe trail brought Western legends to the Vermejo area. Celebrate the last weekend of summer with hearty meals cooked over an open fire, horseback rides, shooting sports, and maybe even a tour of the old Koehler mining camp and a stop at the St. James hotel, where many infamous outlaws slept. Lawn games and cocktails on the veranda cap off inspiring and rejuvenating days soaking up the nature and history of the American Southwest.
