All adventures and quests have a starting point, and weave their way towards a hoped for destination. For those of you on a quest to the the Good Medicine Confluence and its surrounding public and tribal lands, your trip may involve a long interstate drive or a plane flight to Albuquerque but inevitably will turn into a two lane road winding through the village of Abiquiu and on up into the colorful formations housing our Ghost Ranch event site…
-
This incomparable region is home to uncountable wildflower-lined paths leading out into the hight desert canyons and forests, perfect for Southwestern plant walks sometimes blessed with afternoon monsoon rain showers glazing the mountains with a faery glimmer. Even if there were no Confluence to attend, this is one part of the country that you would almost certainly want to visit and take some time to fully experience.
TRANSPORT, SHUTTLES & RIDE-SHARE
If you are taking a plane, you’ll probably want to fly into Albuquerque, where you can pick up a rental car or book a shuttle. It takes approximately 2h 17m to drive the 123.4 miles from Albuquerque to Ghost Ranch. It is less than an hour from the historic arts town of Santa Fe, and even closer to restaurants and hotels in the town of Española.
If you are wanting a ride to the Ghost Ranch from anywhere at all, check out and make a listing on our RideShare Forum. And those of you driving are encouraged to offer rides to other plant healers there and get help with expenses that way:
