Casa Grande at Vermejo Park Ranch

New Mexico's sunsets are most vivid when seen from the Sangre de Cristo Mountains near Ted Turner's turn-of-the-century Casa Grande, where you'll return to pan-seared bison after your hike.

Tile by tile, inch by inch, every room and piece of furniture has been brought back to its original gilded beauty... The historically exacting redo of all the rooms, spread out on two floors, is quite dazzling.
