Ghost Ranch and Echo Amphitheater

We took a short road trip to Ghost Ranch and Echo Amphitheater a few weekends ago. Ghost Ranch is a good sized area where they are still excavating dinosaur bones. There is a little museum there which we stopped at. Georgia O'Keeffe did a lot of her paintings there, so as you imagine the whole area is just beautiful. Echo Amphitheater was about 10 minutes up the road from Ghost Ranch and was a huge hit with the kids! It is a natural rock wall formation with some great acoustics, so the kids got to yell and scream as much as they wanted without being told to keep it down. It's fun to hear all the funny things kids scream out at the top of their lungs given the chance!

A small stop at Ghost Ranch. (An interesting side note - the flat-top mountain in the background is in a lot of Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings).
