While Ghost Ranch's fame may come from the Georgia O'Keefe home, skip that $30 tour and hit the hiking trails for one of three superb walks. We opted for Kitchen Mesa which, at 5 miles, was one of the more strenuous routes available. It did not disappoint -- the views were some of the best on our trip through New... More

We have visited many of the Utah parks, the Grand Canyon, and Sedona. Ghost Ranch is as beautiful as any of these spots, but on a smaller scale. However, it seems to be a hidden gem. We were there on a beautiful day in late April, and there were fewer than 20 other visitors. We chose to hike Chimney Rock... More

We were very lucky to see part of a tv pilot being filmed as we entered the ranch. Unfortunately, we were to late to participate in a tour of the ranch, but was able to see a 10-minute preview.

I think I pity the French family of four the most. They had drifted onto The Ghost Ranch assuming that they would see the O'Keefe House and grounds and maybe buy a postcard. They had come a long way. Had they read the brochure carefully they might have intuited (and that is the right word) they could not actually tour... More

There is nothing to dislike about Ghost Ranch. The trail is well maintained and the scenery is stunning.

Hiked up the Chimney Trail unreal view, so beautiful great spot at the top for a picnic. Marvelous during the off season feel like you have the place to yourself. Loved it well worth the hour drive from Santa Fe.

We didn't actually stop at Ghost Ranch, as we visited at Christmas. We were fascinated and returned several times however, to the mountains surrounding the ranch. The shapes, colors, vistas, produce changing sights with each visit.

An absolutely beautiful part of America in Northern New Mexico. Located on the road between Chama and Santa Fe. My wife and I toured through the Ranch as we were winding our way back home from the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic train out of Chama. The colors and scenery are stunning. If one is so inclined there are facilities to... More

If you have never been to Sedona and want to get a taste of it, I highly recommend Ghost Ranch. The three hikes are all uniquely different and a great way to spend the day.

This is some of the most spectacular scenery in the West. Even if you don't take a tour, just driving through the area is fabulous. I took the Georgia O'Keefe tour. It took us out into the area on a bus and looked at the specific views that she painted. Very interesting. Highly recommend.
