Hiking the Harmonies with Connie B. Burkhart – G24050204
Come and experience this unique ‘jam with the land’ as we hike and explore Ghost Ranch and the surrounding area. We will hit the trail and walk into the stories of the land with history, geology and archaeology that make this region so unparalleled. Our journey will give time to listen to the song Creation sings as we rest near the trickle of sacred water in an arroyo or hear the wind as it passes under the wings of a canyon wren. Gather for an evening campfire surrounded by the red cliffs of the ranch. Participants should be able to walk up to 1 – 4 miles at 6,500 ft in elevation on uneven terrain. We will pack a sack lunch for at least one of our daily adventures, returning to the ranch around 3pm. During your stay at this magical place, you will have time to enjoy other opportunities such as listening to the Bluegrass Camp concerts at the end of the week! Come experience the Land of Enchantment!
