We are so PLEASED we did this with Martha and not on our own. We spent the first day in class learning about the culture and what we would be seeing once we left the Ranch. The 2nd day...

Marvelous walking trails, from super short to reasonably long, throughout the ranch help you retrace Georgia O'Keeffe's steps and see the landscape that inspired her so. We got there at 3 p.m. and did not enjoy the walk at all, given the heat. We will return at a better time, perhaps for a painting workshop. Great spot for families, with...

Really enjoyed the hiking trails with awesome views. Chimney and kitchen mesa trails were challenging so recommend you not do it alone unless you are a experienced hiker. Parts of the trails are steep. I saw deer and mountain lion tracks. Highly recommend a trekking pole and good hiking shoes. Did a sunset horseback ride that was fun. The anthropology...

We were in Santa Fe looking at the surrounding area for a place to go hiking. After reading a few reviews, decided to make the drive. It was worth the trip. We took the Chimney Rock hike. It is steep and challenging during the first third, if you are like us and only moderately in shape. But the payoff is...

This was our third time to travel here from Santa Fe to hike to Chimney Rock and take a horseback sunset tour of O'Keefe landscapes. Have taken the history tour in the past as well. This is a beautiful day trip from Santa Fe or Taos especially for those interested in Georgia O'Keefe's landscape paintings.

My husband and I took the guided tour to Chimney Rock on Horseback, led by Megan. The horses are beautifully kept and well trained for every ability. We went for a 1 1/2 hour ride and learned all about Georgia O'Keefe! Afterwards we took the Kitchen Mesa Hike through Canyons on the other side. It's the most beautiful scenery we...

We stopped by Ghost Ranch on our family visiting us in Northern New Mexico. Even though we weren't staying at the ranch everyone was really welcoming. Trails, museums, and gift shops were all great experiences. Ghost Ranch is a magical place just to sit and soak up the air and landscape. The other items are not highlights but are welcome...

I'm not that into Georgia O'Keeffe's artwork but still the guided tour of Ghost Ranch was very interesting. The tour guide would point out the landscape in the distance (mountains [esp. Pedernal] or rock formations or trees) and then show us photographs of some artwork that O'Keeffe had painted of the particular landscape. As part of the cost of the...

Our guide took us into an area that only tours get access. We saw Georgia O'Keefe's home and aligned views from her paintings to the actual locations where she sat and painted.

You cannot visit Georgia O'Keeffe's house but there are two small (archeology/paleontology) museums, a gift shop, and a lot of hiking trails . . . oh, and mosquitoes.

Thank you for your review of Ghost Ranch. Ms. O'Keeffe's house is on a private part of the Ranch that can only be accessed via a tour. The house itself is not owned by the Ranch but by Ms. O'Keeffe's estate and it is their wish, at this time, the house remain closed to visits. However, as stated, the tour...
