The Great Outdoors
Rancho Gallina is an ideal place to explore all of the breathtaking natural and historic treasures in New Mexico. We have fantastic cycling, running, hiking, horseback riding and birdwatching right out the front door, and we’re a short drive to mountain biking, skiing, snowshoeing, and exploring movie ranches, Native American pueblos, national monuments, hot springs and historic ruins.
We have created a separate page for road biking and will add more for some of our other favorite activities soon. In the meantime you can click the links below to learn more about some of the great nearby treasures to explore from the Ranch.
