Abiquiu is rich with history, both dark and light. Like much of the Southwest, the land was hotly contested and witnessed the struggles between the native Indian tribes and their Spanish rivals. The multi-cultural heritage is still very evident.
Georgia O'Keefe made her home here in her later years, and the red cliffs, mesas, peaks and plateaus are immortalized in her paintings. Many people, especially artists and photographers, speak rhapsodically of the quality of the "light" in New Mexico. You just might notice a perceptible difference in the color of the sky, earth, trees and water in Abiquiu. You will be stunned by the red soil that composes the massive cliffs, carved canyons, and vistas. Abiquiu Lake, 7 miles north of town, is used for water sports and recreation.
There is really only one place to stay: The Abiquiu Inn, also right on Highway 84. The Inn presents a very interesting mix of cultures. It offers country casitas with wood fireplaces, fine art gallery and gift shop, a wonderful restaurant(no smoking, no liquor), and lush gardens. The eclectic restaurant menu features Middle Eastern, New Mexican, and Mediterranean cuisine.
