CELL PHONE COVERAGE
Cell phone signal is strong at the entrance to Ghost Ranch by the City Slickers cabin, but it is inconsistent everywhere else on the Ranch. You may want to let your friends and family know that coverage is inconsistent.
In case of any emergency, please let family and friends that you may be reached by calling 505.685.1000 ext. 0.
The signal also gets lost in the red rock area just south of Ghost Ranch so you may not be able to call the ranch when you are nearing it, about the last 20 minutes as you approach from the south.
INTERNET CONNECTIONS
There are a few Wi-Fi hot spots for internet connections around the ranch. Service is sometimes intermittent and slow due to satellite and weather conditions.
