Abiquiu, New Mexico

Ghost Ranch and Georgia O’Keefe’s Home
On the drive to Durango we stopped at the Ghost ranch.
Tawa hallae, a new species of small carnivorous dinosaur discovered at Ghost Ranch Education and Retreat Center near Abiquiu, New Mexico, is the oldest North American dinosaur known from almost complete skeletons. This discovery provides new information on the evolution of early dinosaurs and their dispersal across ancient continents.
Here you can see the scenes and actual locations of Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings. The shining red and yellow cliffs of the Piedra Lumbre, the black trails of waterfalls against canyon walls, and her beloved Pedernal Mountain… interwoven with stories of her fifty years at Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu.



 Now on to the Red Ryder Museum.
