点评:My wife and I took the ‘Walking in Georgia O’Keeffe’s Footsteps Tour’ at Ghost Ranch for my birthday in January and it was truly an experience we will never forget. Our guide, Susan, provided a perfectly balanced tour that felt like an immersive art history lesson and gorgeous nature hike in one.
As we navigated the breathtaking landscape that inspired O’Keeffe for decades, Susan shared deep insights into the artist’s life and the history of the ranch with incredible ease. It was so gratifying to be able to see the printout examples of O’Keeffe’s paintings and have those exact locations pointed out to us in real life.
The 2-hour walk was comfortable for everyone; Susan kept a great pace through the arroyos (which are sandy washes that help preserve the environment by not leaving our footprints!). The trail is mostly flat, but definitely bring proper footwear, sun protection, and a bottle of water.
Susan’s warmth and presence made the experience feel incredibly special, we are so grateful.
翻译:今年一月,我和妻子参加了幽灵牧场(Ghost Ranch)的“追寻乔治亚·欧姬芙足迹之旅”(Walking in Georgia O’Keeffe’s Footsteps Tour),作为我的生日礼物。这真是一次难忘的体验。我们的导游苏珊(Susan)带领我们完美地平衡了行程安排,既像是一次沉浸式的艺术史课程,又像是一次绝美的自然徒步之旅。
我们漫步在欧姬芙数十年来灵感迸发的壮丽景色中,苏珊轻松地向我们讲述了这位艺术家的生平以及牧场的历史。能够亲眼看到欧姬芙画作的打印稿,并被她指出画作的确切位置,真是令人欣喜。
两个小时的徒步行程对每个人来说都很舒适;苏珊带领我们穿过干涸的河床(这些沙质冲沟有助于保护环境,不会留下我们的脚印!),步伐稳健。步道大部分平坦,但务必穿着合适的鞋子,做好防晒措施,并带上一瓶水。
苏珊的热情和陪伴让这次体验格外珍贵,我们对此感激不尽。
