MW Bar Ranch is 50 miles north of Taos not far from the Colorado state line. The 8,400 feet elevation along the river valley means that nights are cool and days are typically a pleasant 80 degrees during the summer months. Just to the east, Costilla Peak rises nearly 13,000 feet, the second highest peak in New Mexico. The Valle Vidal, sometimes called the Yellowstone of New Mexico, is just 8 miles up the road. The drive is spectacular as you follow the river through a box canyon where you might catch a glimpse of a Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep if you're lucky. Valle Vidal boasts one of the largest elk herds in New Mexico. Mule deer, turkeys, black bears and cougars are also found there. The 100,000 acres comprising the Valle Vidal offers great fly fishing in the streams and Shuree Pond. We are the closest accommodations to the Valle Vidal.
