The weekend adventure begins with an afternoon check in at the Sierra Grande, a Ted Turner Retreat. Resting on mineral-enriched geothermal hot springs, Sierra Grande is a tranquil haven. The serene 17-guest room hotel is ideal for relaxation and rejuvenation, offering holistic wellness services and private indoor and outdoor hot springs.

Saturday, August 23
On Saturday we will explore Armendaris Ranch a Ted Turner Reserve. The 360,000-acre property, nestled in the crimson Chihuahuan desert, embodies the essence of southern New Mexico. A true invitation to adventure, it offers treks through semi-desert landscapes, a special visit to an archaeological site along with possible encounters with bison, pronghorn and desert bighorn sheep, and access to the Jornada lava flow, home to one of the largest populations of Mexican free-tailed bats in the U.S.

On Sunday, we will explore Ladder Ranch, a Ted Turner Reserve. A natural oasis situated by four Rio Grande tributaries, the 156,000-acre Ladder property is home to rich biodiversity. Surrounded by sweeping landscapes, Ladder effortlessly pulls you into the present moment. Meanwhile, petroglyphs, pottery shards, and adobe ruins invite exploration into the mysteries of the past.
