| 2026 description: 'The most physically challenging itinerary at Philmont visits many of the less-traveled trail camps throughout the North and
Central countries. Start your adventure at one of the most beautiful trail camps before making your way towards Baldy
Mountain. Spend time learning about the lives of the Continental Tie & Lumber Company loggers before summiting Baldy
Mountain. Explore the Central Country through the 2018 Ute Park burn scar into Sawmill for the opportunity to test your
marksmanship. Join the miners of the St. Louis & Cimarron Mining Company for a day of work and the company meeting and
top off your trek by hiking into Base Camp over the Tooth of Time and through the iconic 'You Made It' sign.' |
| 2025 description: 'The most physically challenging itinerary at Philmont visits many of the less-traveled trail camps on the Ranch. Start your
adventure hiking west across the Ranch up the beautiful South Ponil Canyon with a stop at the Continental Tie & Lumber
Company for the company meeting. Rest up at Placer Camp with views down Baldy Skyline ridge before climbing Baldy
Mountain, the highest peak at Philmont (12,441'). Hike down along the southern edge of the 2002 Ponil Complex fire that
burned 92,194 acres in the Philmont north country and compare that 20-year recovery with the more recent 2018 Ute Park fire
as you hike through Ute Park Pass and work on your conservation project. After an exciting evening at the Cyphers Mine
Stomp, work your way down the picturesque Cimarroncito Creek canyon and continue up to Tooth Ridge. For your final day on
the trail, summit the iconic Tooth of Time (9,003') and make your way down the Tooth Ridge trail to return to Camping HQ and
your closing campfire' |
