The Timbers at Chama: Plentiful elk in northern New Mexico
Mountain retreat offers an extraordinary,
once-in-a-lifetime hunting experience.
The Timbers at Chama offers gentlemen hunters a personalized shot at large bull elk in the rugged mountains of northern New Mexico. The rustic, well-appointed lodge has been renovated by proprietors Rhonda and Bill Glisson to provide an exclusive retreat for big-game hunters.
The ranch -- with expansive, photogenic views of the Brazos mountain range -- spreads over more than 400 privately owned acres with leased hunting access to more than 10,000 additional acres on neighboring and nearby properties.
The Timbers is in New Mexico Unit 4, which is world-renowned for elk hunting. The thriving, free-roaming elk herd improves each year through selective hunting and sound wildlife management practices. The healthy herd, combined with expert guides, provides an excellent success rate for the hunter.
In addition to elk, consider hunting opportunities for mule deer and Merriam turkey from The Timbers at Chama.
After a day of hunting, retire to the comfort of the Timbers Lodge for gourmet meals and relaxation by the fireplace or in the jacuzzi; plan a return visit after the fall season for business conferences, family gatherings, college reunions, and other private events.
The Timbers at Chama combines comfortable accommodations with a remote and beautiful natural setting where guests are encouraged to create their own unique experiences and lasting memories. The staff will personalize each visit with attention to detail that includes special interests, preferences, limitations and even favorite foods of each individual, couple or family.
The ranch will lodge, feed and entertain up to 14 people in comfort and style. Accommodations, in addition to the five-bedroom Timbers Lodge, include the four-bedroom Hacienda and the Guest House, which sleeps four in bunkhouse style.
The versatile sportsman will revisit The Timbers at Chama in the summer for the clear, cool mountain air and the record-class trout waters: fly-fishing the Brazos or Chama rivers or trolling the Heron or El Vado reservoirs. Winter activities include snowmobiling and cross-country skiing while the spring offers an explosion of natural beauty -- enjoy horseback riding, mountain biking and wildlife photography or ride the historic Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad – a must for steam train aficionados.
