2015 description: 'Beautiful peaks, lush valleys, and exciting program fill this Central and South Country trek. Your crew will have a great first
night at Ute Springs before rock climbing at Cimarroncito. If there's time, side hike to Window Rock and be excited to camp
at serene Webster Parks for the night. The next day, you'll enjoy hiking a lightly traveled trail on your way to beautiful
Sawmill Canyon. Learn to reload and shoot .30-06 rifles when you arrive at Sawmill. Hike over Comanche Peak on your way
to Mt. Phillips Camp and be sure to watch one of the best sunsets at Philmont from the western summit. Views of the
Moreno Valley, Wheeler Peak, and Baldy Mountain will be a prized reward for the hard work that it took to get there!
Enjoy firing .50 caliber black powder rifles at Clear Creek and learning how to homestead at Crooked Creek before camping
at Porcupine for the night. At Beaubien, test your roping skills, eat a chuckwagon dinner, ride horses, and kick back for a
cowboy campfire. Side hike Bonito Peak and work on a project with the Conservation Department before hiking over Trail
Peak to check out the wreckage of a B24 Bomber that crashed on top in 1942. Continue on over Fowler Mesa and through
Aguila where another view awaits your arrival. Hike on to Abreu where you'll enjoy a cold root beer at the Cantina and a
Mexican dinner at the Mexican homestead. Next, continue on to Urraca, where you will test your crew's skills on the
challenge course and be treated to an evening campfire that tells of the mesa's haunted past. Wake up early and watch the
sunrise from Inspiration Point to preview your final challenge. Navigate across Lovers Leap, scale the Tooth of Time, and
hike all the way to Base Camp to finish your trek!' |
