La Escalera Ranch

Encyclopedia : L : LA : LAE : La Escalera Ranch

The sprawling 300,000 acre (1,200 km²) La Escalera Ranch is located 20 miles south of Fort Stockton, Texas and is owned and operated by the Gerald Lyda family. The ranch extends over much of Pecos County and portions of Reeves, Brewster and Baylor Counties.

Originally owned by California-based Elsinore Land & Cattle Company, the 100-year old ranch was acquired by Gerald Lyda of San Antonio, Texas and re-named La Escalera Ranch (Spanish for "The Ladder"). It is known for its herd of crossbred Angus cattle and its abundant wildlife.

Located near the entrance to the ranch is Sierra Madera crater.
