Just outside Abiquiu, in the lush Canones canyon, close to an old Hispanic Village, sits a great cabin with a large peaceful porch and inspiring views. A great weekend and vacation get-away!
There are unique prehistoric Indian ruins on top of a nearby mesa. The tranquil canyon leads to one of America's largest preserves, the Santa Fe National Forest. Following the Canones Creek upstream you can enter a mountainous wilderness stretching from Cuba to Los Alamos with the magnificent Valle Grande in between.
In driving out this canyon there are awe inspiring views of Abiquiu Lake, the Piedra Lumbre, and the Cerro Pedernal, often painted by Georgia O'Keeffe who had her studio at Ghost Ranch, on the other side of the lake.
The O'Keeffe House in Abiquiu is open for tours from late March through November.
The Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, Taos, Santa Fe, Los Alamos, Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs, all make great day trips. Chama with the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, Chaco Canyon Culture National Historic Park, Ghost Ranch. It is all "just around the corner".
This comfortable cabin has a full kitchen, a shower bath, a loft bedroom with a queen-size bed and a sleeper sofa (queen) in the living area for additional guests. |
