Ghost Ranch, in Abiquiu, New Mexico, is a place that has captured my heart and imagination. I have visited the ranch many times, and each time I am struck by its unique beauty and eerie ambiance. From the towering mesas and red rocks to the rugged landscape, Ghost Ranch is a place that engages all the senses.
During the day, Ghost Ranch is a breathtaking sight. Sunlight filters through the trees, casting dappled shadows on the ground, while the scent of pine and juniper fills the air. The vast expanse of red rocks and mesas creates an awe-inspiring atmosphere that stirs the soul. The quiet stillness of the desert can be both peaceful and overwhelming at the same time.
As night falls, the mood changes. The landscape transforms into a dark, foreboding place. The peacefulness of the day is replaced with the sounds of the night, and the stars seem to shine a little brighter. The shadows that seemed so peaceful during the day take on a life of their own, and the rustle of leaves in the wind becomes a whisper that sends shivers down the spine.
My visits to Ghost Ranch have not been without their strange occurrences. I have witnessed strange lights and orbs hovering over the mesa on multiple occasions. The way they move defies explanation, and they seem to disappear as suddenly as they appeared. It’s a sight that’s both fascinating and unsettling.
But it’s not just the landscape and strange phenomena that make Ghost Ranch special. The ranch has a rich history that adds to its allure from bank robbers hiding their treasures in Box Canyon to being a popular film location. Over the years, it has been a source of inspiration for many artists and writers, including Georgia O’Keeffe, who called Ghost Ranch her home for many years.
Ghost Ranch is a place that truly captures the imagination. The breathtaking scenery, rich history, and eerie ambiance make it a unique and unforgettable destination. Whether you’re there to soak up the beauty of the desert or to experience the thrill of the unknown, Ghost Ranch will leave a lasting impression.
Ghost Ranch lies about an hour northwest of Santa Fe on U.S. 84 between mile markers 224 and 225.
