It was an honor for Ava Roxanne Stritt to consult our team for a recent explore.com article about what to do if you encounter a bison on your next outdoor adventure. Vermejo is home to Castle Rock bison – one of the most genetically pure bison herds in the world – and our guides are some of the most knowledgeable, experienced, and respecting of these majestic creatures.

"When people get out here and they see the elk, the deer, and the bison, and the big, beautiful, natural landscapes, it helps to turn on something inside of them – to really get them passionate about the outdoors."

Thanks to Robert and the rest of the Turner team who work hard to create meaningful and memorable experiences for Vermejo guests, while always keeping conservation at the forefront.

Meet Max and Molly. 👋 Max Marwin is a graduate student working on a study about black bear and cougar interactions or "kleptoparasitism" at Vermejo. Molly is his super-friendly pup. 🐶 This year we had research teams studying bison, Rio Grande cutthroat trout genetics, brook trout, brown-capped rosy finch, Merriam’s turkey genetics, jumping mouse, wildlife migration patterns, glacial deposits, seismicity, plant diversity, forest ecosystem change, snowpack, and river-stream health. The Vermejo staff enjoyed sharing ideas, answering and asking questions, and learning with the researchers. Many of the studies are continuing and we look forward to new projects in 2025.
