Brandenburg Park lies in the heart of Red River, New Mexico…read more My dog and I got to explore the area back on August 1, 2026. It was packed by the time we got done with lunch so I didn't snap more photos. The park features a playground with swings, slides, and climbing structures. There is plenty of lush green spaces. Benches. Picnic tables. Winding walking paths. Mountain backdrops. The nice sturdy wildlife proof trash cans that I think all parks should encompass. The park also has a permanent stage for all of its annual festivals, including the 8750 BBQ & Music Festival and Oktoberfest. Car shows. Art and wine festivals. Public restrooms were near the stage. Free parking is scattered all around. Nearby are plenty of shops and restaurants. The city of Red River decided a few years ago to become a Keep America Beautiful affiliate. Therefore, the park's reputation to stay clean and reduce environmental impact are withheld. https://kab.org/

Leah in the office was super helpful in telling me what I needed to know to do the trek. And Stuart, the lead, was organized, prepared, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and skilled at everything that was needed to make our trek fun, comfortable, and positively memorable. The llamas were gentle and sweet, Stuart cooked great food, and the views of the lake where we camped were spectacular. I'm so glad I was able to make this adventure happen. I think it was a great value for the cost, and I highly recommend the experience.

After sitting on the veranda in the cool evening crisp clean mountain air we enjoyed the majestic view while having a few cocktails and reviewing the days adventures. This evenings menu had gourmet entrees that are first class. Our group had: Piñon Crusted Trout Pan seared Bison Tenderloin Grilled Ranchero Beef Ribeye Country Fried Quail Knots Seared Sea Scallops Friends listen this food was unbelievable. The chef knows his business. Any if nothing on the menu feels right, then ask the Chef for an off the menu item....like a gourmet cheese burger. They aim to please. The wait staff couldn't have been more accommodating or friendly. They had no problem with substitutions or asking for extra. They know how to make customers happy. Put a visit to Vermejo Park Ranch on your bucket list. Truly you will not be disappointed.

Vermejo Park Ranch has a history that has been sustained in its current usage. In 1841, it was a…read moreland grant from Mexico, and has been used for cattle ranching but recently it has been a sheltered tract reserved for hunting and fishing. Under current ownership, significant effort goes into maintenance of stable healthy populations of elk, deer, antelope, bear, turkey and bison. The guest buildings remain as they must have been 70 years ago and the 920 sq. miles continue to host several different ecosystems from wetlands to tundra above timberline. This site doesn't aim at 5 star modern luxury but rather maintaining that level of luxury consistent with reduced degradation of the land by the visitors and staff. No human effort is spared to make this a top flight experience. Everyone we met went out of their way to ensure our comfort, satisfaction and safety. "Fracking" is going on and is evident from the many gas wells one sees dotting the landscape. The gas company is responsible for many of the graded roads on the ranch. The most frequent use of the site is for guided hunting and fishing. We went for a guided nature photography experience. One finds this place with some difficulty. State Highway 555 turns into a gravel road a few miles from the minimally marked turnoff to the ranch. An electric gate blocks the entrance and is opened remotely if the telephone systems are working. While we were there the entire area had been blacked out by Centurylink. No fault of theirs but still an inconvenience. Check in was quick and simple. Rooms are situated around the main lodge which was rebuilt after a fire in a modern rendition of the prior structure. We stayed in an annex to the main lodge called Casa Minor. Our bedroom was large, 30 x 40 feet, with bay windows facing the front lawn. The bathroom was wheelchair accessible as was the shower. Two queen beds were comfortable and heating and cooling effective with a ceiling fan. Other rooms we saw with a single queen bed were smaller. Meals were gourmet, frequently featuring either a bison, elk, wild turkey or antelope meat option and tours of the working kitchen were encouraged. Usually hors d'oeuvres and a cocktail party with a full bar began as the first group returned to the lodge and continued until all groups are back and ready for dinner. Since different groups are returning from various distances, dinner can be late. A cooking class for preparation of game is planned and should be wonderful. Days here begin early so that one can be in place at sunup and frequently end with a drive back to the lodge after sunset, whether one is hunting with gun, bow, rod, or camera. All of the guides have a patina of experience but some more than others. We drew Gene Coon and he made the experience a gem. He used his ample experience to craft an exposure to the things we wanted to shoot photographically. He carefully judged our abilities and kept us safely within them.

Myself and a couple friends made the drive up form Albuquerque, leaving early in the morn to make it there at a decent morning hour. We had to call the ski place to find it, google maps took us a wrong way. Once we did we realized we had to take the chair lift to ther top of the mountain. I had never been on a chairlift in the summer so that was pretty cool in itself. Once on top the(and during the lift ride) the views were incredible. The town below was full of tourists soaking up the mountain town vibe, but I sure hope they knew about the lift to the top. We got our discs out and found our way to the 1st tee. The 1st view alone was incredible. When I teed off with a throw where I actually took a little off it, it shot out of my hand for a massive drive. We quickly adjusted our effort on our drives as the thin air made the drives go forever. We went through the holes from dark forests to mountain side fairways to birch bark forests. It was an exhausting round but very much worth the big round trip drive. We promised to come back one day and stay in town so we can enjoy the course but stay local. Definitely one of the best courses in the US.

I try to not quit working out when I go on vacations and I was lucky to find this hidden gem here. The gym is never crowded and tons of machines and free weights, cardio equipment etc. You can get a day pass or weekly pass. And you have 24 hour access. They have been really nice to me every time. One time they even gave me a 10 day pass for free because that was my first visit to the gym. This time bought a 10 day pass but unfortunately I lost the key to get in. On a Sunday morning when the gym is closed, I was desperate and didn't know how to get in. Calling their phone number went to voicemail. I messaged them on Yelp asking them if there was any way I could get in. I got a phone call within minutes and Brandon told me that I can go the gym and they will let me in. That is what customer service is all about guys! Check it out.
