2017 Trek 13 
| This trek is full of wonderful program opportunities, such as black powder rifles, spar pole climbing, and railroading at Philmont's newest staff camp… Metcalf Station! Start by camping at Cathedral Rock and hiking past the picturesque Cimarroncito Reservoir. Check out the Demonstration Forest and tour Mr. Phillips' Hunting Lodge before rock climbing and rappelling at Cimarroncito. On the following day, your crew will love the gorgeous downhill hikes through the lush Sawmill and Grouse Canyons! From there, your crew's journey to the North Country will pass through Hawkeye and Upper Dean Cow Camps before spending two days at Miranda, where the mountain men will let you shoot their booming .50 caliber muzzle loading rifles! Next, create your own mountaintop experience by summiting Baldy Mountain, checking out Lucien Maxwell’s Aztec Mine, and visiting historic Baldy Town. Hike over to Pueblano where you'll climb spar poles with the men of the Continental Tie & Lumber Company before continuing to Flume Canyon for the night. At Ponil, enjoy horse rides and branding before filling up at the Chuckwagon Dinner. On your way down from Hart Peak, you will hear the pinging of the hammer echo off the canyon walls at Metcalf Station, where railroading and blacksmithing await your crew. Work on a trail construction project with the Conservation Department near Indian Writings. Tour the petroglyphs, learn about the Ancestral Puebloan people, and test your atlatl skills before hiking to House Canyon. Watch the sun set behind all of Philmont's mountains on your last night from this secluded camp. Next stop… Base Camp! |
