2026 description: 'This rugged itinerary provides a wealth of living history experiences with a little bit of high adventure program mixed in as well. Start your journey with the only confirmed T-Rex track in the world and Native American petroglyphs as you head deep into the North Ponil Canyon. Move forward in time and learn about life for railroaders, loggers, and cowboys as you traverse canyons and ridges making your way towards Baldy Mountain. Challenge your crew to summit Philmont's highest peak at 12,441 ft. Swing by the Bent, St. Vrain & Company fur trappers at Miranda before transitioning to the present day with some high adventure programs. Be sure to soak up the iconic views of Baldy as you wrap things up in Ute Park and learn about fire ecology and wildlife conservation.'
