The far side of the Rancho (past the creek) is closed due to an increase in bear activity. We will monitor and provide updates. 

Recent wildfires in the area have brought varied air quality. Please make any needed preparations before visiting the Rancho.

New Mexico’s past is filled with stories waiting to be told—so long as you’re willing to spend a little time with the dead. Gather around campfires and farolito-lit paths as you listen to the captivating tales of ghosts who once roamed this land of enchantment and aren’t ready to leave.

Our wondrous historic site transforms into a family-friendly yet spooky Halloween atmosphere, where every corner holds the promise of a ghostly encounter. Explore the historic structures and chat with spirits lit by candlelight, follow the farolitos under a starlight sky, roast marshmallows and make s’mores at our bonfire stops, and enjoy live entertainment with a brew or two.

Beneath colorful cottonwoods and historic buildings, enjoy an evening of enchantment, where the past meets the present in a hauntingly beautiful experience. Come for fall colors in the sunset, and remember: when the sun goes down, the ghosts come out.
