Day Three: Art, Icons & Georgia O’Keeffe’s Legacy
Start your day with a relaxed breakfast and warm conversation as we prepare for a day of adventure, discovery, and iconic New Mexico scenery.
Today’s highlight is a private guided Jeep tour that takes us off the beaten path and deep into the stunning landscapes that inspired generations of artists and storytellers.
