Friendship 

The ranch is the year-round home of Meris and Seth Stout. When you visit, you are considered friends of the family and are treated with genuine hospitality. As owners and managers, we share our meals with you, guide your trail rides, and educate you about the horses and the forest we call our home. We love sharing stories around the campfire and connecting with our guests. Our guests come from various states, countries, and cultures, but all share a passion for horses, history, and the great outdoors. 

Wide Open Spaces 

Picture yourself horseback riding through the deep canyons of Southwest New Mexico, surrounded by nothing but nature. That’s what makes the Gila National Forest one of the country’s greatest natural treasures. One of the best aspects of Geronimo Trail Guest Ranch and the Gila is that there is something here for everyone. Whether you are searching for a tranquil oasis, time away from a crowded city, or your next outdoor adventure, you will find it all in this breathtaking 3.3-million-acre forest! From clear spring-fed creeks to beautiful open meadows to extraordinary cliff dwellings, you’ll discover something fascinating at every turn! We will share our knowledge of the history, flora, fauna, geology and more, and will help you find the best places to explore while you are here! 

Tranquility  

Situated west of the Continental Divide in the mountains of Southwest New Mexico, Geronimo Trail Guest Ranch boasts a truly unspoiled setting, secluded and serene. We are off the power grid. Our electricity comes from solar arrays and is supplemented by generators as necessary. We are located 85 miles from the nearest stoplight, and evidence of the intrusion of modern man is virtually absent.
