Adventure Tips
Bring plenty of water
The high desert climate can be dry and dehydrating, so staying hydrated is essential during your tour.
Wear sturdy footwear
Especially if you opt for guided walks, solid hiking shoes help navigate rocky and uneven terrain comfortably.
Sun protection is a must
Wide-brim hats, sunscreen, and sunglasses will protect you from strong New Mexico sun exposure.
Download offline maps
Cell service can be spotty around Ghost Ranch, so having offline navigation is helpful for independent exploration.
