Description

Experience everything on the Southwest Safari tour and then visit a coal mining ghost town that you can only see with New Mexico Jeep Tours! The Ghost Town tour takes you to the site of the largest adobe structure in NM in its day and to the location of a short but booming coal mining operation. You will also see a dinosaur fossil from the Cretaceous period and the ranch’s movie set.

The Ghost Town tour includes what you see on the Southwest Safari tour: Puebloan ruins and petroglyphs, sea-life fossils, and painted deserts, but adds the ghost town of Hagan and a couple of side stops along the way.

Tours are personal and private — only your group — and we plan them with you once you reserve. This one suits anyone who would rather read a place than a plaque. Full rates are on our pricing page.

Things to know

Deposit and cancellation

A $50 deposit secures your reservation. It comes off the total when you pay at the end of the tour, and it is refunded if the tour is cancelled for weather, or by you more than 24 hours before the start time.

Reservations

A minimum of 48 hours notice is suggested to maximize tour availability, but it is not mandatory.

Wild horses

Wild horses may be seen on any tour, but cannot be guaranteed.

What should I wear?

Depending on the season the sun can be intense — we are over a mile high with low humidity. Cover up or slather on the sunscreen. Closed toe and heel shoes keep cactus and rocks off your feet.

Altitude

Our tours run in the high desert at about 6,000 ft, so do not be surprised if you feel winded. That is completely normal, and we move slowly to accommodate the altitude change.

Payment

We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and cash. Payment is usually taken at the end of the tour.
