Mexico. Take time to enjoy the history and views of the area as you hike along the Rayado Creek deep into Philmont's western
mountains. You'll be following in the footsteps of fur trappers, pioneer homesteaders, and cowboys with plenty of opportunities
to learn about their lives while taking part in unique living history programs. Enjoy the scenic vistas along the Beaubien meadow
before taking in the views from Fowler Pass and Stonewall Pass and wrapping up your adventure hiking into Base Camp from
the Lover's Leap area.' |
