Georgia on My Mind: Georgia O'keeffe and Ghost Ranch Country Tour

Georgia on My Mind: Georgia O'keeffe and Ghost Ranch Country Tour

Overview

In addition to visits to the O'keeffe Museum, the Welcome Center and painting sites, we will be driving through the incredible Piedra Lumbre basin (or Valley of the Shining Stone) which stretches from Abiquiu to Chama along the Chama River. From there we will visit Ghost Ranch, a dramatic 21, 000-acre of New Mexican landscape, where the reclusive American artist Georgia O'Keeffe led a solitary life immersed in nature and art. O'Keeffe fell in love with the sculpted landscape of rivers, cliffs and buttes in an expanse of earthen formations which according to pueblo peoples are alive and imbued with spirits of the past. Ghost Ranch is also known for a remarkable concentration of fossils, most notably that of the theropod dinosaur Coelophysis, of which it has been estimated that nearly a thousand individuals have been preserved in a quarry at Ghost Ranch. By touring the formations, the Chama River Valley and Ghost Ranch we understand the love she felt for the ancient, sacred place.

Mae toured us for four days and her knowledge of the areas we visited was outstanding. Her energetic personality made the tours entertaining as well as educational. She also helped us by taking photos for us at all the best locations. We would highly recommend her as a guide.

So glad we booked this tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and just a fun person to spend day with. The tour was amazing. Seeing the Ghost Ranch and nearby O'Keefe places and landscape was SO COOL. Seeing the places that inspired so many of her paintings made being here so much richer. Would highly recommend this company and will certainly use them again when back in area.
