| 2023 description: 'his exciting trek offers a variety of great program elements, as well as a chance to summit Philmont's highest peak. Your
adventure begins at Six-Mile Gate Trailhead with a short hike to McBride Canyon camp, setting you up for easy access to Hart
Peak the next morning. The North Ponil is a timeline in history as you make your way to see the petroglyphs and archeological
sites at Indian Writings. Head up to canyon to work on the railroad and in the forge at Metcalf Station and enjoy the brand new
depot! Be ready to face the challenges presented by the facilitators at Dan Beard as they run your crew through a series of
elements designed to build teamwork. You’ll work your way down to Ponil to grab some more commissary goods at before
heading to your trail camp at Dean Skyline...enjoy tremendous views all the way to Colorado! Shoot over to the newly
reopened Santa Claus Camp where you can load your own 12-gauge Shotgun shells and then head to the range and test your
shooting skills. Your stop at Black Horse Creek Camp will be focused on exploring the mining history of the area and hiking
Philmont's highest peak: Baldy Mountain. After your morning summit of Baldy, you’ll head to Miranda to partake in the Fur
Trapper Rendezvous. Have fun learning to throw tomahawks, shoot Muzzle Loading Rifles, then set up camp so you can be
ready to meet and receive your own burro the next morning. You'll learn how to pack them properly before hiking with them to
your next stop Baldy Skyline, which offers a view of the peak you just conquered. The next day will take you to the loggers of
the Continental Tie and Lumber Co. at Pueblano. Here you can climb spar poles and make rail ties before ending the day with
an exciting campfire “Company Meeting”. Take good care of your burro, he will help get you down to Ponil. Feel what it was
like to be in an old west town, take aim at the Cowboy Action Shooting range and enjoy a hearty Chuck Wagon dinner.
Celebrate with a cold root beer and prepare for the raucous Cantina Show to top off the day! Your last morning will have you
riding horses before hiking to the Ponil Trailhead, where a short bus ride returns you to Base Camp to celebrate your
adventure before heading home' |
