2026 Trek 7-10 
2026 Trek 7-10 | This super strenuous itinerary tours much of Philmont's South Country with many viewpoints and landscapes to explore. There are quite a few opportunities to sample program, including Living History programs, but your crew will only have time if they are able to work efficiently, get an early start, and put in the miles between camps. You'll hike through beautiful meadows, Ponderosa forests, and Aspen groves and pass the historic Rayado Lodge at Fish Camp. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
