D. H. Lawrence Ranch
A mountain ranch where the British writer D. H. Lawrence lived in the 1920s. His ashes rest in a memorial shrine on the hillside.
Lawrence and his wife Frieda lived at this ranch from 1924 to 1925. It was a gift from Mabel Dodge Luhan, and Lawrence wrote several works there. After his death, Frieda built a small memorial shrine on the hillside to hold his ashes. The ranch now belongs to the University of New Mexico. The shrine and the surrounding pine forest are open to the public on a limited basis, usually on certain summer days. Opening arrangements change often, so check the university's website before you go. The ranch is about 30 kilometers from Taos, near San Cristóbal.
