Ted Turner operates his empire by a simple motto, “Save Everything” – and once you lay eyes on Ladder, a Ted Turner Reserve, you’ll understand why. The conservationist has diligently preserved the diverse ecosystems comprising his 156,000-acre Ladder Ranch, in south-central New Mexico; the four tributaries of the Rio Grande that traverse the land support abundant flora and fauna, such as historic bison. Turner’s four-bedroom family home features personal mementos; an on-site chef prepares meals to your taste. Expeditions are individually crafted, and all activities are included in your stay.
