| 2022 description: 'If your crew likes to fish, this itinerary is for you! Begin as you hike out of Base Camp and make your way uphill to Magpie
Camp. Nestled among the trees above Magpie is a dedicated team of Philmont Staff, trained in teambuilding skills and ready
to turn your crew into a high performing machine at Urraca Mesa! The next day is a short jaunt over to Crater Lake and the
Continental Tie & Lumber Co. for spar pole climbing and logging activities. Finish the evening with the most scenic campfire
you’ve ever experienced and enjoy the music as it ties your heart to this magical place. The next morning, lace up your boots
for your traverse up to Fowler Pass, down to Bonito Creek, up to Webster Pass, and down again to your destination: Fish
Camp, Waite Phillips’ favorite river retreat. After a quick fly-tying lesson, use your handmade fly to try and catch a trout. Next,
press on toward Philmont’s rugged western boundary and enjoy the beautiful creek at the trail camp Porcupine. Swing up to
Beaubien if you like and soak in some western lore if you have a chance! On your way to Wild Horse Camp, be sure to visit
the homestead at Crooked Creek and tour their rustic homestead and help with chopping wood or tending to the chickens.
Rest up for the night so you can be ready to tackle Philmont's second highest peak, Mount Phillips. Along the way, though,
you will have a chance to meet the fur trappers of the Rocky Mountain Fur Co. at Clear Creek. Get there early so you can
shoot the muzzle loading rifles and tour the Trapper Cabin before making your way up the mountain. After a memorable
summit, make your way to Comanche Peak for the night. Be on the lookout for the gold prospectors and miners near Cyphers
Mine and try your hand at panning for gold before getting back on the trail. Your next stop is Waite Phillips’ Hunting Lodge,
which is a great place to soak in the history and wet a fly in the reservoir! Head to Cimarroncito the next morning for resupply,
but also to enjoy their Rock Climbing and Rappelling programs. Next, head to Clarks Fork for some Western Lore program,
enjoy a delicious Chuckwagon dinner, and end the day at a traditional cowboy campfire. Ride horses the next morning before
heading up to your last trail camp, Shaefers Pass. With the end in sight, your crew will be tired, but motivated as you hike the
scenic traverse over Shaefers Peak towards the Tooth. Enjoy the view atop the iconic Tooth of Time, then traverse Tooth
Ridge as you make your way back to Base Camp.' |
