One of New Mexico’s finest and most exclusive upscale fishing and hunting ranches, Brazos River Lodge is located on close to 5,000 acres of pristine uninhabited wilderness within the Carson National Forest and Cruces Basin Wilderness. A four-mile stretch of the Brazos River serves as the centerpiece of the ranch, providing prime headwaters for world-class fly fishing on private land controlled by private ownership. Home to a resident elk herd, private archery and rile hunting expeditions are hosted by the ranch’s knowledgeable guides. The six-room lodge is designed as a private, all-inclusive luxury retreat for up to 10 guests with gourmet meals prepared by a private, on-site chef. Brazos River Lodge is located two hours north of Taos and three and a half hours from Albuquerque. For more information, visit http://www.brazosriverlodge.com or call 602-329-2443.
