History

Established in 1876, Ramah was one of fifty locations in the New Mexico Territory settled, under the direction of Brigham Young, by Mormon pioneers and is one of only three that remain today. Ramah was originally settled for the purpose of missionary work to be carried out within the Zuni and Navajo communities. Many of the original stone houses are still standing and are a testament to the hard work and skill of Ramah's early founders. One such building has been restored and preserved as a museum to display the heritage of the valley's past.

Location

The property is located near Ramah and Pinehill in western New Mexico. The area offers of site seeing, national monuments, and hikes.

El Morro National Monument weaves a colorful tapestry of the history of New Mexico. Hundreds of petroglyphs bear witness to the lives of ancestral Puebloans. Other inscriptions mark the journeys of early American pioneers, western emigrants, soldiers and railroad surveyors. The richly diverse volcanic landscape of El Malpais National Monument offers solitude, recreation, and adventure. Visitors can explore incredible geologic features such as lava flows, cinder cones, lava tube caves, and sandstone bluffs. While some may see a desolate environment,

people have been adapting to and living in this extraordinary terrain for generations. Come discover the land of fire and ice.

The Narrows, located 17 miles south of I-40 on NM 117, is named for the narrow corridor that developed when lava flowed close to the base of a five hundred foot sandstone mesa. Most of the lava observed is from McCarty's crater, which, at approximately 3,000 years old is the most recent lava flow in the area. Located in a collapsed lava tube, the perpetual Ice Cave's temperature never rises above 31 F year round, with natural layers of ice that have been forming for over 3,400 years. The perpetual Ice Cave is a natural phenomenon made possible by a combination of physical factors forming a natural ice box a 20 foot thick mass of ice accumulating in a well insulated cave of porous lava and shaped just right to trap cold air, continually generating new ice as rain water and snow melt seep down and freeze. The Ice Cave is a sacred place with a 1,200 year history of human interaction dating back to the Ancestral Puebloans also known as the Anasazi and continuing to this day as a spiritual and refreshingly cool, peaceful space.
