Our second day out of Santa Fe we journeyed north once again, this time to Abiquiu (pronounced “ab e que”) and Ghost Ranch the home of Georgia O’Keefe. The area is now owned by the Presbyterian church and is a conference and retreat center.

There are several trails on the ranch for hiking and Sarah and I hiked one of the shorter hikes that actually goes away from the lodge — the Chimney Rock trail. The Flickr badge shows images from this hike and other parts of Ghost Ranch. The pictures don’t really do justice to the scope of the landscape. We took several sets that can hopefully be stitched into panoramas, although they were hand held so they may not work too well. Does anybody have software suggestions — ideally for the Mac?

I think doing a retreat or a conference at Ghost Ranch would be amazing. It is by no means posh accommodations, but it is very affordable and you can’t beat the location (okay, so it’s not that accessible, but otherwise it’s great). I may go hide away there to do some reading at some point in the future.
