| 2008 description: 'Take the Dan Beard Challenge and polish up on leave no trace skills before hiking the remote Valle Vidal (Valley of Life). In the Valle your crew willdo search and rescue, ridde mountain bikes and view the rings of Saturn at, where else, Ring Place. Back on Philmont, you will spen two days at Ewells Park which lends plenty of time to climb Balfy, do blacksmithing and take a tour of a real gold mine. Hike down the river to Ponil Camp for your last day, enjoying horse rides, visiting the cantina for a root beer, branding your boots and enjoying your last two meals on the trail with a chuck wagon dinner and breakfast.' |
| 2007 description: 'Just imagine hiking the same trails the ancient Anasazi Indians walked over 1,300 years ago, or visiting the worlds only known T-Rex footprint dating back to the Jurassic time period! The opportunity to do this, as well as ride a mountain bike, learn search and rescue skills, enjoy astronomy and climb Mt. Baldy are all features on # 21. As you hike thru Pueblano, take time to climb 30' spar poles at the continental tie and lumber company. The big bonus comes when your crew visits Ponil, Philmont's very first camp, with horseback riding, a cantina, and get this . . . . two chuck wagon meals - supper and breakfast.' |
