| 2012 description: 'This program intense trek covers a lot of ground in Philmont’s rugged North and Central Country. Start off by seeing the world’s
only known T-Rex track in the North Ponil Valley. From there, watch a gorgeous sunset at House Canyon Camp and wake up to
visit the fascinating petroglyphs left by the ancient Ancestral Puebloan people at Indian Writings. Next, your crew will visit historic
Ponil where Cowboy Action Shooting will make its Philmont programmatic debut this summer. Brand boots, test your roping skills,
eat a chuck wagon dinner, and a cowboy breakfast before hiking to Dean Cow for rock climbing and rappelling. Go on to learn
how to reload your own shotgun shells before you shoot them at our picturesque shooting range. The cool hike up Grouse and
Sawmill Canyons will let you focus on the wildflowers and aspens instead of the heat! At Sawmill, our world class .30-06 reloading
room and shooting range is guaranteed to be a highlight of your trek. Visit Cypher’s Mine, Waite Phillips’ Hunting Lodge, the
Demonstration Forest, and Clark’s Fork before hiking into Base Camp via Tooth Ridge and the Tooth of Time!' |
