2024 Trek 12-1 
2024 Trek 12-1 | This peaks filled trek will give you and your crew the opportunity to conquer 5 different peaks in one journey! Start this South Country traverse with a night at scenic Toothache Springs to train with your Ranger. Head to Urraca where you will participate in challenge events that will help your crew work together for the duration of your trek. Get an early start the next morning to enjoy the sunrise at Inspiration Point, then make your way to the High Ropes Course & Climbing Tower at Rocky Mountain Scout Camp for some high COPE program. You will then make your way to Stockade Ridge Camp to prepare for your first two summits. You’ll top the Tooth of Time and Shaefers Peak on the way to Miners Park Camp. The next morning take the beautiful hike up the North Fork Urraca Creek to Black Mountain's Post Civil War encampment. Work in the forge and shoot muzzle loading rifles while you are there. Visit the cowboys at Beaubien for a little branding and enjoy the Chuckwagon Dinner and Cowboy Campfire to top off the day. The next day you are waking up for horse rides and a quick hike for resupply at Phillips Junction and resting up at Porcupine for the night. The next day, make your way down to visit the homesteaders at Crooked Creek. Help them tend the chickens, goats, and cows, then check out their rustic cabin, then make your way to your next peak: Big Red. You’ll camp at Divide for the night to prepare to knock out two more peaks the next day. Enjoy the sweeping views from Comanche Peak and Mt. Phillips and then stay the night with the Rocky Mountain Fur Co. at Clear Creek. Participate in a friendly tomahawk throwing competition while you are there. Your next day will take you through part of the historic CS Ranch before hiking out the Colin Neblett Wildlife Area to the Tolby Trailhead. Next stop… Base Camp! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
