| 2012 description: 'This program packed itinerary will give your crew a wonderful opportunity to experience all of Philmont’s beautiful Central and
South Country. Start your trek by checking out the new climbing routes at Cimarroncito. From there, you will always remember
the wind blowing through the aspens and the gorgeous meadow at Webster Parks trail camp. You will then explore Cypher’s Mine,
pan for gold, and learn how to blacksmith before Charlie’s musician miners provide the evening entertainment at the “Stomp.” At
Comanche Peak Camp, a sunrise unparalleled from anywhere on the ranch awaits you bright and early before tackling Mount
Phillips. From the top of Phillips, views of the Moreno Valley, Wheeler Peak, and Baldy Mountain will give your crew the
confidence to reach for the stars in all that you do! Enjoy learning to homestead at Crooked Creek, one of our most remote staff
camps. Next, you will head to Beaubien to brand boots, test your roping skills, eat a chuck wagon dinner, ride horses, and kick
back for a cowboy campfire. You will then be able to check out the B24 bomber that crashed in 1942 on top of Trail Peak. From
there, you will hike to Carson Meadows to help our staff with a search and rescue mission that will encourage your crew to work
together. Stop at Abreu for a cold root beer and to experience the Mexican homestead before making your way to Urraca for the
night. There you will play initiative games and go through the challenge course events listening to music and some wild tales of
Urraca’s haunted past. Hike down to Lovers Leap and up to the Tooth of Time before making your way into Base Camp.' |
