This program filled trek will give you a chance to pass over Wilson Mesa, climb Baldy Mountain, and hike the Tooth of Time! Start your trek with a cool glass of root beer at Ponil before making your way to Dean Cutoff for the night. Stop by the Continental Tie & Lumber Company at Pueblano for spar pole climbing on your way to Baldy Skyline Camp. Check out the mining history of Baldy Mountain at Baldy Town and French Henry as you climb up to Copper Park. Hike to the Baldy ridgeline, hang your smellables, and side hike the northern shoulder of Baldy Mountain to the summit! Return to your packs and continue on to Upper Greenwood. Enjoy the downhill hike to Rich Cabins where a welcoming homestead and evening music await you. Climb Wilson Mesa, enjoy the view, and continue on to Elkhorn Camp. From there, follow Dean Skyline to Dean Cow for rock climbing and rappelling. Your next stop, Harlan, will give you chance to reload and shoot 12 gauge shotguns. Work on a new trail construction project on your way to beautiful Aspen Springs. Reflect on the journey before heading to Clarks Fork via Hidden Valley and Window Rock. Test your roping skills, enjoy a chuckwagon dinner, and cap off the evening with a cowboy campfire. Be sure to wake up early, fill your water bottles, and hit the trail towards Shaefers Peak and the Tooth of Time! |
