Description

Pictured here is Chimney Rock, which is located in Ghost Ranch. We took a 3 mile round trip hike to a point right opposite the top of the rock (the elevation at the top of the trail is a little over 7,000 feet). Beautiful views all along the way & it's easy to see why Georgia O'Keefe was so inspired by this landscape. Ghost Ranch is currently owned by the Presbyterian Church, but they welcome all visitors warmly with no religious proselytizing at all. From Wikipedia: "Ghost Ranch's redrock scenery attracts some of the film industries major movies to be filmed upon the 21,000 acres of the ranch has to offer. Here are most of the movies that have been filmed on Ghost Ranch: Lone Ranger (2013 film) (2013, Cowboys & Aliens (2011), Brothers (film) (2009), Year One (film) (2009), Georgia O'Keeffe (2009 TV Movie), Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008), 3:10 to Yuma (2007 film) (2007), No Country for Old Men (film) (2007), The Missing (2003), All the Pretty Horses (film) (2000), Wild Wild West (1999), Wyatt Earp (film) (1994), Earth 2 (TV series) (1994 TV Series), The Last Outlaw (1993 TV Movie), City Slickers (1991), Outrageous Fortune (film) (1987), Silverado (film) (1985), And Now Miguel (1966)" I will post additional photos of views taken at the top of Chimney Rock, as well as other areas of Ghost Ranch...
