Ghost Ranch and Its Layers of History

Today Ghost Ranch looks like an enormous conference center located in a beautiful valley, but it started out as a ranch won in a poker game. One of its most famous regular visitors was the famous artist Georgia O'keeffe, who rented the same cabin each year. She roamed the surrounding countryside, and many of her paintings were of this area.
Another interesting note is that in 1947 the bones of one of the earliest dinosaurs ever found in North America, were discovered on this ranch. "Hundreds of complete Coelophysis skeletons were found here in a once-marshy grave." (From the book "From Santa Fe to O'Keefe Country.")
