I’m looking out at the horizon, into a near-oblivion of sandstone mountains that cascade down into endless canyons colored with clay-red ledges and grassy mesas. A winding river at the bottom is starving for more mountains runoff, while cotton puffs sprinkle the sky above.

“Keep your booger hook off the bang switch.” Canyon Madness Ranch in Roy, New Mexico, is open to the public.

The sojourn at Canyon Madness Ranch was a perfect treat for my wife, and the place offered everything we wanted to do on a three-day trip. It also made me realize there’s a lot more to New Mexico climbing than I’d ever realized. Thanks, Canyon Madness Ranch. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Just spent a week at CMR with my 19 years old son. This place is truly AMAZING!!! The vast ranch provides a great mix of firearms wonderland, equestrian paradise and adventures galore. Perfect getaway for outdoor lovers. Horse riding on canyon trail is my favorite. The canyon view from the deck is absolutely legendary where you can enjoy a morning coffee or quiet sunset time with a glass of wine. The Teepee lodge offers all the modern living convenience and comfortableness of 21 century.

The canyon view from the deck was absolutely legendary. The recreational shooting courses were addictively fun. I really felt like I was in the wild west the entire time.

Michael

The horse back riding was an experience of a life time. I learned basic trotting and loping in the covered horse arena in two short sessions then rode down to the beautiful canyon.

This place is wonderful! What a magical oasis in the middle of nowhere. A reprieve from reality where you can experience the usually unattainable. I can’t wait to go back!

5 stars!

This is the best vacation we have had. The lodge is magnificently appointed and the land is a cathedral carved by the Lord’s own hand. The best part of this property is its staff. This team loves what they do and they love sharing what they do even more. The chef is nothing short of world class. The horse trainers were patient with our group of kids. Such luxury is so rarely available to the common man, all at a comfortable drive from Amarillo.

I was looking for a stay somewhere with scenic views and horseback riding. Canyon Madness Ranch exceeded my expectations. The landscape is stunning. The staff is very friendly and attentive to everything we needed and did. Alisa took care of all arrangements while we were there. John and his crew took us on some amazing trail rides into the canyon, and really helped us with our riding.
The ostrich breeding made for incredible meals with ostrich eggs. Chef Dane transformed our vacation into something incredible. This isn’t ranch food, this is gourmet dining by a chef trained at Le Cordon Bleu, and he has been master chef at major resorts in Las Vegas. The food was visually stunning and was at a level I would expect at the finest New York restaurants. I highly encourage eating all meals at the lodge. The small towns anywhere near are barren and you should expect your stay to be exclusively at Canyon Madness, and well worth it.
