"Picture yourself going from sledding down sparkling sand dunes and enjoying a picnic lunch (courtesy of your hotel) to enjoying private indoor and outdoor mineral-rich geothermal hot springs at your home-away-from-home. If this is your ideal day, book a room at the Sierra Grande’s historic and intimate 17-room retreat. Offering an array of holistic wellness services and outdoor activities like birding, biking, sunrise-and-sunset wildlife safaris, and heritage tours, the escape has something for those looking for a stimulating adventure or a revitalizing weekend away. Built in 1929 in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico—a small town renowned for its independent galleries, restaurants, and boutiques—this property stands on land recognized by the National Register of Historic Places. The Sierra Grande is one of four Ted Turner Retreats in New Mexico and opened in 2013 so that guests could experience the conservation-forward reserve."
