Housing is dormitory style, and most staff have a private room and bathroom with a shared common space with washers and dryers. Seasonal housing is equipped with WIFI internet and basic furniture, including a bed, dresser, nightstand, and lamp. These seasonal staff rooms do not have kitchens. Three meals a day are served from our employee dining room in the main lodge building. AT&T phone service is the only cellular service available on the ranch.

The closest town to Vermejo is Raton, New Mexico. Raton is about 40 miles from the Vermejo headquarters, making this one of the most remote destinations and the largest private nature reserve in the United States. Because of its remoteness, most employees who work at Vermejo live on the reserve.

Getting Here and Getting Around

We encourage employees to bring a private vehicle with them to get here and get around, although it is not necessary for employment. We also encourage employees to bring a mountain bike, as there are over 2000 miles of trails and roads to explore. Four-wheel drive vehicles are not required for general Vermejo travel, but we strongly suggest durable tires (6-ply and above).

The primary commercial airport options are Denver and Albuquerque, and both Greyhound bus service and Amtrak train service have stations in Raton.

For Fun

In addition to all of the fun outdoor adventures that will call to you at Vermejo, we have several annual staff activities like volleyball and horseshoe tournaments, staff barbecues, horseback rides and more! We hope you will make friendships that will last a lifetime during your time with us.
