W Magazine Names Vermejo One of the Five Best Luxury Ranch Hotels in the American West

by Zachary Schwartz

Imagine a national park all to yourself—no lines, no crowds, nobody in the background of photos. That’s Vermejo, a vast luxury ranch in the Southern Rockies.

Spanning 550,000 acres, Vermejo feels like the 51st state. It’s located in a desolate part of cowboy country, where its inaccessibility drives exclusivity. The journey from property entrance to hotel lasts an hour, driving through awe-inspiring biomes of alpine, sub alpine, and prairie. Best of all, you won’t see another soul on the drive. Nature is yours to savor.
