“This is one of my favorite places here in New Mexico. Sure, there are other more dramatic vistas, but this one sings to me. It tells me about quiet lives and peace in the valley surrounding this beautiful wild river. Every time I’m here I feel like I could just sit and stay forever. This iconic view is from a scenic pullout literally on the side of the highway between Abiquiu and Ghost Ranch. It’s a popular location for photographers as well as painters. There’s even a well know photo of Miss O’Keefe by Todd Webb taken here. She had her camera in hand, taking reference photos for one of the paintings she made of this same magical spot. I bet she wanted to sit and stay here too!”
