An education and spiritual retreat center owned by the Presbyterian Church, Ghost Ranch is a large complex of lodging and conference facilities situated amidst some spectacular red rock scenery. The complex is open to anyone, with a visitor center, a pair of museums, and several hiking trails leading into the surrounding country. Most notably, Georgia O'Keeffe maintained a summer home here starting in 1934, and later purchased a home in the village proper; however, O'Keeffe's Ghost Ranch home is not open to the public. Guided hikes and horseback rides are offered. The ranch is also a common stop on the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) alternate route, and it accepts hiker resupply packages.
Displays artifacts from ancient Paleo Indian cultures, including material excavated from sites on the Ghost Ranch property, as well as the work of local Native and Hispanic artists.
Ghost Ranch is noted in the paleontology community for being the site of one of the best-known sources of fossils from the Triassic period, when dinosaurs began to emerge on the planet. The fossils at this small but engaging museum reflect that legacy, including the skeleton of a Coelophysis, one of the very first dinosaurs. There are also some interactive exhibits, as well as a huge block of dinosaur bones from the Ghost Ranch property that is being worked on in the middle of the museum.
The Monastery is situated in a beautiful, quiet canyon in northwestern New Mexico, surrounded by miles of government-protected wilderness. The chief architect of the original monastery was George Nakashima, famous Japanese-American woodworker and architect. The church, meditation garden (next to the church), gift shop, and restrooms located in the lobby are open to the public. Visitors are welcomed.
