FAQ

Did you know that PhilSearch is 20 years old this year (2024)


2026 Loaded

12, 9 and 7 day treks are loaded and verified.

While I welcome Philmont's year over year mapping, a new addition to the guide book for 2026, the degree of change is significant for most treks. Those of us that have been mapping treks for years would consider most of these as new Treks due to number of activity and campsite changes. 2025 data is being re-verified to ensure accurate comparison with 2026

Best advice is to either search for the attributes your crew wants most using the Itinerary Search page or use the compare 1 trek to all treks tool under the compare menu. Cavalcades are next

Custom Treks vs Standard Treks

Significant changes are underway to make it possible to compare a imaginary or historical trek with standard treks. This capability allow you to enter the treks of your youth with their contemporary counterparts.

Step 1 is to use the trek editor to enter the trek of your choosing (complete)
Step 2 is to use the "Compare Custom to all Itineraries" choice on the Compare menu to score the treks (under construction)
