We spent a w.e. in Abiquiu with our friends Katy and Marlin and decised on hiking Chimney Rock on Sunday morning. We found striking fall colors in addition to the suble beautiful southwest palette that must have seduced Georgia O'Keefe when she settled in this region.
The hike starts out behind the visitor center and stables and gradually climbs up the ridge. Elevation 6,500 to 7,100 feet and 3 miles round-trip.
The Piedra Lumbre basin at our feet and Mount Pedernal visible at the horizon on the far left.
Lake Abiquiu, formed when a dam was built on the Chama River.
