My husband and I stayed for an adventurous weekend at Pedernal Ranch. Larry and Elmer took us on a challenging horseback ride in Abiquiu’s breathtaking “painted desert.” We came back to the ranch and each had a relaxing massage right in our suite. The next day, my husband went fishing in the Chama River while I had a private yoga session back at the ranch. We both felt relaxed and rejuvenated by the end of the weekend.

I stayed with my husband and daughter at Pedernal Ranch for five days. Our trip was full of site-seeing and adventure. On the first day, we visited two Pueblo ruins in the Abiquiu area (we hiked to one and rode horses to the other). We spent the second day at Bandelier National Monument and saw ancient cave dwellings. The third day, we visited the Ghost Ranch Museum and the Georgia O’Keeffe Foundation right in Abiquiu, where we were able to see O’Keeffe’s house. In the afternoon, we took a thirty minute drive to see beautiful petroglyphs. On the fourth day, we took an enchanting train ride from Chama, New Mexico up into Southern Colorado. On our last day, we were pleasantly tired and stayed at the ranch and relaxed. Our trip was a great break from the stresses of everyday life.

I went with two of my friends to Pedernal Ranch during the elk hunting season. We stayed at the ranch the first and last nights and camped the other two nights. The lodging was excellent, and the food was good and hardy. Our hunting guide was very knowledgeable and experienced. It was one of the best hunting trips I’ve ever taken.
