One of my favorite things about the 'desert' is the color. We have fantastically blue skies, green plants, yellow grasses, and rocks in all sorts of reds, pinks, oranges, whites, and purples. It's no wonder that Georgia O'Keefe found inspiration for her art in such a beautiful place. We went to visit Ghost Ranch a few days ago, which is where O'Keefe lived and painted for much of her life.
There used to be a living museum with rescued animals native to the area. However, it has been changed and now just has anthropological exhibits-- not as fun, but kind of cool all the same.
The Visitors Center is just a few miles from the actual Ghost Ranch, and so we hiked there. It's a fun, easy trail with a fun, wobbly bridge to cross. And you can't beat the views!
This hike is especially fun when you bring enough water, which we had enough foresight to bring. We started out in the morning, and it was warm but not hot.
We visited the Anthropology and Dinosaur Museums at Ghost Ranch, which I remember from elementary-school field trips and were fun to rediscover.
When we go back again, we plan to drive to Ghost Ranch and do the hikes that start there and go up into the mountains. It was a great little hike from the Visitors Center over to Ghost Ranch, but it was hot and annoying to have to do it again on our way back. Now we know for next time!
