"Ghost Ranch in Winter New Mexico has the reputation for 364 days of sunshine every year. But occasionally it snows a lot, blanketing and softening the rocky scenery New Mexico is so famous for. Ghost Ranch is a conference center about 50 miles northwest of Santa Fe , made famous by Georgia O’Keeffe, who lived in Abiquiu for many years and painted almost every formation with her unique style. You can stay at Ghost Ranch or nearby Abiquiu in one of several B&Bs. For more information, consult the Ghost Ranch website. By Sherry Hardage"

Tony went horseback riding in this area near where Georgia O'Keeffe spent her last years. Bourdain helped with a red canyon cook-out.

We were day visitors but now I want to come back & stay here. Absolutely loved the grounds. All the staff we interacted with was helpful. I highly recommend the film at the visitor center when you arrive. We didn’t know much about Ghost Ranch so we were not equipped to do any hikes but we walked around the property a bit and visited the museums. We even purchased a couple of boxes lunches: very generous amount of food/snacks. The sandwiches were generous in size.

I have not been here in over 30 years but I vividly remember this place and I absolutely LOVE this place!! Last time I was there I was a child and my family and I would vacation there and our church did a work camp there. I need to go back soon to see how much it has changed. But it is extremely beautiful and peaceful there from what I remember and it's a perfect place to get away from the busy stressful life we all have. It is also Christian Based and owned by the Presbyterian Church.

I've been going to Ghost Ranch for close to six decades - I even took my first steps at the ranch. My parents took our family there most summers growing up and I've taken my own family there when I could. It's beyond special! This place is where I feel the most "at home" in many ways. If you are expecting luxury, it's not for you. If you are seeking beauty and nature, community, and relaxation -- this is the spot.

We can by and paid short visit on our way from Mesa Verde to Santa Fe. The ranch is at a great location with gorgeous surroundings. Could imagine why the great artist Georgia O’Keeffe loved staying here rather than NYC. For better experiences, it’s recommended to join their ranch program so that you can stay here for decent amount of time. Definitely worth to stop by here if you are around Santa Fe.

We brought a group to do the landscape tour. Our guide, Susan, was fabulous! Great knowledge of the ranch history and O'Keefe's life and paintings. It was a beautiful and informative day in a gorgeous setting. Can't wait to go back.

Ghost Ranch is my spiritual home, a rustic retreat that strips away unnecessary distractions and helps me see life more clearly. The geology, the stars, the hiking, the art and writing programs, the experience of being in that place is an important reset for my soul.

Ghost Ranch is beautiful no matter what the weather is like or time of year. I stayed in a room where I was supposed to have a roommate but ended up having the room to myself all weekend. I thought the food was great. I understand that Ghost Ranch will be offering more programs and art classes with an indigenous perspective. I will be looking forward to these opportunities!

I decided to do the hour and a half horseback riding tour which took you through the landscapes of Georgia O’Keefe’s paintings. Couldn’t recommend more! It was just two guests with our guide Josh, which made for a lovely intimate experience. He shared a lot of history about the ranch throughout. It is an absolutely stunning landscape and the ride seemed to fly by. Do it! The trail ride also gets you a pass to hike and visit the other sites at Ghost Ranch. I did the chimney rock hike afterwards which was beautiful. They have sandwiches available for purchase in the visitor center but I went to the Abiquiu Inn’s cafe afterwards, which is close by and totally charming.
