Owner description:
In a land of shifting light, boundless skies and fused culture, the 21,000 acre Ghost Ranch Education and Retreat Center in northern New Mexico is a place for renewal and retreat. The towering rock walls and vivid colors hold a hypnotic power. This is O’Keeffe Country.Visitors to Ghost Ranch will feel they’ve stepped back in time to days before the bells and whistles of technology vied relentlessly for our attention. People from all over the world come for spiritual development, to discuss issues of peace and justice, to work together in creation care, to paint, write poetry, to hike, ride horseback, to research globally renowned archaeological and fossil quarries… or simply to rest and renew their spirits. With over 300 courses each year, Ghost Ranch provides affordable ways to enrich your mind, body and soul.Available for overnight lodging as well, Ghost Ranch offers rustic , yet comfortable accomodations at a variety of price ranges to fit your budget. Our campground is open mid-May through early October.The Georgia O’Keeffe at Ghost Ranch Landscape Tour brings guests to a restricted area of the ranch to the scenes and actual locations of O’Keeffe’s paintings. O’Keeffe Landscape Tours are available mid-March through late-November. Reservations are required.

I visit this place annually to take a course or do a personal retreat. The beauty and silence are healing for me, and I always meet interesting people. Food is substantial. There is always a salad bar. There are excellent week-long courses for people with many interests, or just go and enjoy the solitude, excellent hiking trails, or the 24-hour...

We almost didn't go here because the name Ghost Ranch sounded cheesy and touristy (which I guess we think we are not!). So glad we reconsidered. For the amount of effort expended, these are the most breathtaking views we've encountered anywhere. We have the exact same photos as those posted here! The colors of the mountains, well, every color is...

My friend and I stopped here on a road trip mostly just because it's called "Ghost Ranch" and we're into spooky stuff. Apparently Georgia O'Keefe didn't live there exactly. For some reason, we thought she had, but the staff told us otherwise. It was interesting for what it was. I didn't realize you could stay overnight there and if you...

I thought some background about Georgia O'Keeffe at Ghost Ranch might help TripAdvisor readers.
Georgia O'Keeffe lived and worked at Ghost Ranch for nearly fifty years. She first visited Ghost Ranch in 1934. In 1940 she purchased a home on 7.5 acres of Ghost Ranch. She lived part-time at the ranch, traveling here from New York. In 1945, O'Keeffe purchased...

The scenery is breath-taking and there are a number of hiking trails on the property. The anthropology museum was quite interesting. Unfortunately, the paleontology museum was closed for remodel but we have something to look forward to when we visit the area again.

Ghost Ranch is widely known known as a significant triassic paleontology site. It is discussed in books and movies. As a aspiring paleontologist, my 8 year-old has been dying to visit Ghost Ranch for years. We planned a trip there this spring break. After a 3 hour car drive from Albuquerque we were initially sorely disappointed. The "museum" is a...

After reading about Georgia Okeeffe, I was interested in seeing Ghost Ranch which inspired many of her landscape paintings. Parked at the welcome center and received a map of the hiking trails and registered for $3 admission per person ( a bargain). Also, purchased lunch tickets ($10 each) for the dining hall in order to stay a full day.

Ghost Ranch is a wonderful hidden gem outside of Abiquiu. If you are not interested in the landscapes that inspired Georgia O'Keefe later in her career, you may enjoy one of the three hiking trails (but don't expect a lot of trail signs to help!) or you can find any number of photo opportunities with the adobe buildings or even...
