2014 description: 'Is your crew looking for a program packed itinerary in addition to seeing the sunset at Philmont’s highest camp? Look no
further. This trek starts by hiking past Cathedral Rock and the picturesque Cimarroncito Reservoir. Check out the
Demonstration Forest and hike by Window Rock before climbing several new rock climbing routes at Cimarroncito. From
there, the cool hike up the North Fork Cimarroncito Creek will let you focus on the wildflowers and aspens instead of the
heat! At Cyphers Mine, Charlie Cyphers and his miners will teach you how to blacksmith, mine for gold, and treat you to
mining music at night! Next, the trek up Mount Phillips will be challenging, but seeing the sunset over Wheeler Peak and
the Moreno Valley will be an unparalleled reward. You will then meet the mountain men of Clear Creek while shooting .50
caliber black powder rifles before resting at Comanche Creek Camp for the night. From there you will learn how the
homesteaders made a living in the mountains at Crooked Creek before working with our Conservation Department on a trail
project near Buck Creek. At Apache Springs, you will shoot 3-D animal archery targets and learn the ways of the Jicarilla
Apache. Enjoy the hike down the Agua Fria to Fish camp where you will tour Mr. Phillips fishing lodge, learn how to tie flies,
and fish the same waters that Waite loved so dearly. Enjoy the hike down Rayado Canyon past Lookout, Crater, and
Rayado Peak on your way to the Notch and then help the staff at Carson Meadows with an important search and rescue
mission. From there, enjoy a delicious Mexican dinner and a cool root beer at the cantina, but be sure to prepare yourself
for the final leg of your journey… Lovers Leap and The Tooth of Time!'
