Stops Along The Turquoise Trail

Mortenson Ranch

Mortenson Ranch, home of the historic Eaves Movie Ranch, offers a true Santa Fe ranch experience just off the Turquoise Trail. Guests can ride horseback through open New Mexico landscape, explore an authentic Western movie town, meet ranch animals, and experience the working ranch heritage that has shaped the property for generations.

Located just outside Santa Fe, the ranch has been part of more than 250 film and television productions and welcomes guests for horseback rides, private tours, weddings, events, photo shoots, film productions, and custom ranch experiences. The Silver & Saddle shop is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
