2017 Trek 26 
| This trek is overflowing with wonderful program opportunities as well as Baldy Mountain! You will even have the opportunity to let pack burros carry a portion of your gear! Listen to the Rayado Creek while falling asleep on the first night of your trek at Olympia. From there, stop by Zastrow for geocaching, and check out the cantina and Mexican homestead at Abreu before camping at Aguila for the night. Be sure to wake up early and watch the colors change over the plains as the sun comes up. Make your way to Miners Park for rock climbing and rappelling. Hike through Shaefers Pass to Clarks Fork for roping, branding, chuckwagon dinner, and a cowboy campfire. After horse rides in the morning, visit the Demonstration Forest and hike by Window Rock on your way to Aspen Springs for the night. Work on a trail project with the Conservation Department in Hidden Valley before continuing on to Hawkeye Camp for the night. Participate in challenge course events that will encourage your crew to work together at Head of Dean. From there, head to the Mountain Man Rendezvous at Miranda before camping at Ute Meadows for two nights. Side hike Baldy Mountain, check out Lucien Maxwell's Aztec Mine at French Henry, and visit historic Baldy Town. Return to Miranda to pick up your burros in the morning, and test your nerve on Pueblano's spar poles in the afternoon. A cool root beer awaits your arrival at Ponil. Next stop… Base Camp! |
