(289)

Tours, trail rides, two museums, seasonal swimming pool and lessons, lodging, camping, group meeting & celebration facilities are available. Dinosaurs once walked the soggy wetlands that became the arid high desert of Ghost Ranch. Millions of years later Navajos and various other tribes roamed the valley. The Spaniards settled here and then came the cattle rustlers, the wranglers and the dudes. Arthur Pack, one of the country's first environmentalists, bought the ranch and sold a little piece of it to Georgia O'Keeffe. Scientists took respite time here from the stresses of building the nuclear bomb at Los Alamos. Famous guests have included Charles Lindbergh, Ansel Adams and John Wayne. Arthur Pack and his wife Phoebe gave the Ranch to the Presbyterian Church in 1955 and even though Georgia O'Keeffe wanted the ranch for herself she eventually became friends of the first director of Ghost Ranch, Jim Hall.

Every day at Ghost Ranch is a little different. ☀️

To try something new.
To sit still in the quiet.
To lose track of time on purpose.

That's the point. Come find yours this fall.

After a long, dry summer, the rain found its way back to Ghost Ranch. 🌧️

The cliffs darken, the dust settles, and the whole valley looks a bit different. Not every beautiful day here is a sunny one.

The upper “ascent" section of Kitchen Mesa Trail (leading to the cliff surface) at Ghost Ranch will be temporarily closed to all hikers to conduct critical trail reconstruction.

Hikers can still enjoy the bosque approach and the lower loop through Kitchen Valley and signage will be clearly posted where the open section ends and the closure begins.

Trail closure dates are weather dependent and may fluctuate.

We were honored to welcome Senator Martin Heinrich to northern New Mexico and Ghost Ranch for a recent visit centered on the land, history, and work that connects this place to the wider region.

Prior to his visit, we joined Senator Heinrich and the New Mexico Land Conservancy at the proposed uranium mining site in support of recently introduced legislation to protect the Chama watershed from uranium mining.

In conjunction with the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, the visit included a tour of Georgia O’Keeffe’s home and land at Ghost Ranch, followed by time taking in Ghost Ranch’s landscape and night sky.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to share this special place and to be a part of the important conservation and stewardship work taking place across the region.

Meet Dr. Nate Smith, the Gretchen Augustyn Curator and Director of the Dinosaur Institute at the Natural History Museum. He's standing next to a block holding seven Coelophysis skeletons, dinosaurs discovered right here at Ghost Ranch. 🦖

We're proud this discovery continues to shape what the world knows about the dawn of the dinosaurs!
