2024 description: 'This challenging trek will take your crew on a program filled loop through Philmont’s South Country. You will spend your first night on the trail at Lovers Leap Camp before hiking to Miners Park to enjoy rock climbing and rappelling. Visit the Continental Tie and Lumber Company at Crater Lake on your way to spend the evening on the edge of the glorious Lower Bonito Meadow. Tour Fish Camp to discover why Waite Phillips enjoyed spending so much time there before you head to Lost Cabins. The next morning, pick up food and learn about the Jicarilla Apache at Apache Springs and try some 3D Archery. From Apache you will head to the homestead at Crooked Creek where you can check out the cabin built by hand and help take care of the various animals and important daily life tasks. Your next morning takes you to Wild Horse Camp for the night. Next, be sure to visit the Rocky Mountain Fur Co. before climbing Mt. Phillips and camping just past the peak at the highest trail camp at Philmont. The next day, hike to Cyphers Mine to tour the historic Contention Mine and enjoy the evening Stomp. In the morning you will head down Cimarroncito Creek to camp near one of Waite Phillips’ other beautiful cabins called Hunting Lodge. You'll side hike to pick up food at Cimarroncito, and if you have time, check out the climbing gym and traverse wall before making your way back to camp for the night. Check out the Demonstration Forest before heading off to Clarks Fork for roping and branding. Top the day off with a chuckwagon dinner and their cowboy campfire. Get up early for your final challenge- Shaefers Peak and the Tooth of Time! Hike victoriously into Base Camp – You all made it!'
