Plaza Blanca

Beautiful white sandstone cliffs give breathtaking views.

Reviewed By Allicia_73 - Cary, United States

We went with our two girls ages 10 & 13 on our way to Ghost Ranch. I must admit, no pictures or reviews prepared me for the absolute splendor of this sacred place. At one point we were the only people there! It's an easy, mostly downhill hike from the parking lot to the rocks. I highly recommend visiting this...honestly, I would've preferred this to many of the other things listed on the "Top Ten things to see/do near Santa Fe". So, I am here to say to make it a point to visit this majestic place. The color changes from Plaza Blanca to Ghost Ranch are stunning and only within 15 miles from each other!

Poshuouinge Ruins

Reviewed By tieliot

This is a lovely way to get in touch with those who were here first. The trail is easy to follow and the signposts along the way give you a sense of what life was like there in when natives lived, worked and gathered there. From the top of the trail, you look across at Plaza Blanca and the Chama River Valley. Gorgeous.

This is the very first time we are seeing a Lavender Farm and we were blown over. We were travelling from Santa Fe to Taos and made a detour to visit this place. We were there in Aug and the whole area was bloomed. We loved the smell and enjoy the scenery very much. We tried their Tea House and had their Lavender cake and drink too. It was a nice experience for a first timer and glad we made it.
