This is the rarest of opportunity for approximately three hundred persons each season to enjoy.  For those overly burdened by drudgeries of work and modern-day lifestyle stresses, the needed decompression awaits you at the wondrous Canyon Madness Ranch (CMR).  This 14,000-acre New Mexico ranch features a gorgeous activities meadow that is flanked by the serenely spectacular Canadian River Canyon on one side and the utterly mysterious and “other-worldly” Encierro Canyon on the other.  Boasting bookend CMR activities of its Equestrian Paradise and Firearms Sports Wonderland, the adventures offered to vacation guests are truly “once-in-a-lifetime” memorable and not found in any other location in the world.

CMR’s firearms programs are designed to appeal to a full range of amateur/hobby users to professional/expert firearms enthusiasts.

CMR is an equestrian paradise for both people and horses, offering unprecedented horse-riding adventures for guests with any level of riding experience.  Blessed with incomparable scenic beauty and the highest quality of mounts for trail riding, visitors will experience the thrill of horses like never before.

The size and nature of the ranch’s terrain allow CMR to showcase some of the most adventurous hikes and UTV(side by side) rides.  Our UTV rides can range from merely scenic to truly thrilling as the trails up and down around the canyon and around its edges provide challenging trails and rock-crawling.

The vacation stays at Canyon Madness Ranch is “all-inclusive”. All meals, drinks and snacks are included in your package price.

The Teepee Lodge features an eclectic international menu that is best described as Southwest/Asian fusion. CMR believes that adventuresome guests traveling distances to experience unprecedented adventures in a canyon paradise are more like to enjoy a non-traditional menu with relatively more exotic flavors and spices.

The ranch endeavors to serve healthy foods at all times, and will provide farm-to-table dishes if possible. CMR’s owner is a physician and so the Teepee Lodge kitchen will use MCT oil (medium chain triglyceride) in all its recipes in the kitchen whenever possible. All beef served is from ranch and grass-fed cattle and the CMR has just started our own ostrich breeding program to ensure a constant supply of this 99% fat free and tasty red meat for the indefinite future. All eggs served are ranch-laid from our own hens.

All beverages including wine, beer and sake are free and include in the vacation package price. Please note that CMR does not have a full liquor license (very difficult if not impossible to get in this location in New Mexico) so other alcoholic beverages cannot be sold. However, guests are allowed to bring any food and beverage and consume them at their leisure. Please note that upon consumption of any alcoholic beverage on any given day, guests are barred from any activities deemed hazardous at the sole discretion of CMR instructors and guides.

On account of supply chain difficulties, CMR’s remote location dictates that we use a pre-determined menu for each week of vacation use. The Teepee Lodge kitchen has the ability to alter or supplement the menu to accommodate guests with specific allergies or dietary restrictions. Please inform CMR of such when you fill out your pre-arrival guest questionnaire. Since most of the groceries are ordered from far away, it would be difficult to make spur-of-the moment changes in our menu. This is the singular disadvantage for visiting a remote natural paradise. Yet we believe that the special flavors we offer you will make up for this compromise.

Dining

  • Gourmet

Nature’s gift provided a rock-solid site that permitted a concrete foundation to uphold an eighteen thousand square feet structure consisting of large living spaces, eight suites and two levels of massive viewing decks.  The design concept involves two teepee-shaped structures connected by a Great Room suitable for living and dining, relaxation and entertainment.  The lodge features only eight guest suites, each with a king-size bed, a full bathroom, and a comfortable living space with a queen-size sofa bed.  All suites allow access to the deck that offers full view of the magnificent river canyon, with steep cliffs descending to the river seven hundred feet below.  The Teepee Lodge also boasts a large outdoor jacuzzi intentionally placed at the edge of the canyon that offers legendary views.
