Getting its name from the Tewa word for “wild chokecherry place,” Abiquiú is a historic village along the Rio Chama where striking red rock cliffs and mesas frame the high desert landscape. The town is best known as the home of Georgia O’Keeffe, who called the area home and featured the dramatic landscapes prominently in her art.
Abiquiú also offers outdoor adventure at Abiquiú Lake and cultural exploration at the 18th-century Santo Tomás Church and nearby ancestral Pueblo sites. Today it serves not only as a creative and scenic hub, but also as a practical resupply stop for riders on the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route as they pass through northern New Mexico.
