Location and directions
Rancho Gallina is just south of the city of Santa Fe, along the Turquoise Trail Scenic Byway. This beautiful and ancient mining and trading route 
stretches from Santa Fe, over the Ortiz mountains and past the historic mining towns of Cerrillos, Madrid, and Golden, to Las Tijeras just west of Albuquerque.
We are on Bonanza Creek Road in the Lone Butte area, home to lots of horses and two movie ranches that have provided the classic Southwestern scenery to scores of films. It’s the heart of the Santa Fe/Albuquerque movie corridor affectionately known as “Tamalewood.”

Our driveway is just before Lizard Lane if you’re coming from route 14 (the Turquoise Trail) or just past Lizard Lane if you’re coming from the La Cienega exit off I-25.]
