Description
White rock mountains in a valley of the Rio Chama hills near the village of Abiquiu in New Mexico.
The area was made famous by local artist Georgia O'Keeffe, this area of New Mexico is now on the grounds of the Dar Al Islam education center and mosque.
The White Place did not become what we today consider the "Plaza Blanca" until it was made famous by the paintings of O'Keeffe.
There are fantastic rock formations every where you turn. What makes this site so interesting is the contrast of texture and light you’ll find among the soaring rocks that have been cut by wind and water for centuries. The terrain is almost otherworldly and the views are not to be missed.
