Ghost Ranch Spiritual Retreat is located in Abiquiu, NM, where Georgia O'Keefe lived and painted. They have some good hikes and great views of the nearby mountains and buttes.
And, Echo Amphitheater is just up the road.

Stan, your photos are great as usual. Abiquiu NM is in fact where O'keeffe lived in her senior years after falling in love with this type of land (desert). To go from Lake George to Abiquiu is got to be a shock, unless you love it as she did. And, as I do. I live in SW Texas and I love it. The third image in your set above looks like the hill that O'keeffe painted over and over and said "If she painted it enough God would give it to her" It's not but very close. Thanks for a good look. Denny, I really appreciate your comments. I love that region, although probably not enough to move there as she did. It's too bad the photos lose something with re-sizing and meeting all the posting requirements. In a larger size, they do show more grandeur. I read that Cerro Pedernal was her favorite subject, but I'm not all that familiar with her work. Stan (See my gallery at http://www.pbase.com/sparker1

Is this area worth a visit? Thanks, Bruce. The area around Abiquiu was good for a full day with not much hiking. Of course, Taos and Santa Fe aren't far away and can be included. You would be more interested in visiting some of the wilderness areas in the San Juan Basin, such as Bisti, although there is more hiking required.
