Ladder Ranch

The Experience

From trekking through an abandoned mining town to scouting for diverse wildlife, Ladder has an activity for everyone. Create your own journey and discover the depths of Ladder’s natural environment. Wandering creek canyons and endless mountain ranges await or take an unparalleled walk through history. Inhabited by humans dating back to prehistoric times, Ladder features ancient cultural heritage sites. Visit abandoned adobe ruins, pit houses, charcoal kilns and other encampments surrounded by beautiful scenery and diverse wildlife. Or if you're an active adventurer, explore the ranch hiking, mountain biking, fishing, kayaking, or on a bison roundup.

The Accommodations

Make your stay truly sublime. Recently renovated, four bright spacious new bathrooms with walk in showers and slipper tubs have truly transformed Ted's Ladder home. Staying true to Turner’s character, the four-bedroom ranch house exudes comfort and an unassuming ambiance. All meals and activities are included with your stay at Ladder. For those looking for an intimate and unique experience, this is second to none. Other features include a front porch, stone fireplace, and flat screen TV.

The Mission

Ted Turner’s appreciation for nature runs deep, compelling him to work tirelessly through his private company and his various foundations in support of land and species conservation. Through his foundations and individually, Turner has given millions to programs for improving air and water quality, developing a sustainable energy future to protect our climate, safeguarding environmental health and protecting wildlife and habitats to maintain biodiversity.

Turner wishes to share his love of nature and discovery in the hope that those visiting his properties will develop a deeper appreciation for and awareness of what our Earth has to offer and, just as importantly, a shared responsibility for the well-being of our environment.

“When we connect with nature, we heal ourselves. When we protect nature, we heal the planet.” – Ted Turner
