| 2022 description: 'From the ancient waters of the Rayado River to the prehistoric Tooth of Time, this itinerary has it all! After training the crew,
your Ranger will escort you from the musical waters of Rayado River Camp through Abreu and their New Mexican homestead
to Crater Lake. You’ll be drawn into the mystique of the Continental Tie & Lumber Co., especially during the evening campfire.
Next, make your way over Trail Peak to pay respects to the bomber crew that crashed in a B24 Liberator on this site in 1942.
Then, head up the gorgeous meadows to Beaubien, one of Philmont’s Western Lore camps. Here your crew will get to
experience horseback rides and a hearty chuckwagon dinner. Plus, both of their campfire shows are not to be missed! The
next two days will go deeper into Philmont’s wilderness where you will enjoy the beauty of Apache Springs and learn about
the Jicarilla Apache, then be the guests of the homesteading family at Crooked Creek. Your next day can be a big one, so be
sure to get some rest! Get ready to tackle Comanche Peak, and if you are up to it, side hike to Mt. Phillips as well. Make your
way down to Cyphers Mine for a chance to pan for gold or try your hand at the forge! Then head downhill to Hunting Lodge
where you can tour one of Waite Phillips’ cabins, visit with a forester at the Demonstration Forest, or do a little fishing. Learn
about the New Mexico landscape including fire, water, trees, rocks, and more! Cathedral Rock will especially move your soul!
You’ll pick up food at Cimarroncito the next morning, so don’t miss the opportunity to do come climbing! The night at Clarks
Fork is the ‘quiet before the storm’ and an opportunity to prepare for the pinnacle of your journey. From this camp, you’re up
Shaefers Pass, and then traverse along Tooth Ridge. Upon reaching Tooth Ridge Camp, rest easy and take it all in as this is
the perfect staging point for a dramatic finish atop the legendary Tooth of Time. Your next step is the descent back to Philmont
Base Camp, and a victory ice cream at Base Camp!' |
