2014 description: 'This program filled trek will enable your crew to hike the Tooth of Time and visit some of the most pristine camps in
Philmont’s Central and South Country! You will be able to orient your crew's Scouting focus under the stars at Zastrow’s
Rededication to Scouting program. Start by trekking over Lovers Leap and hiking to Miners Park for rock climbing and
rappelling. Next, side hike the Tooth of Time from Schaefers Pass. At Clarks Fork, test your roping skills, eat a chuckwagon
dinner, enjoy a cowboy campfire, and ride horses the following morning. Hike by the Demonstration Forest, Window Rock,
and Hidden Valley before settling down at Lower Sawmill for the night. Be prepared to reload and fire .30-06 rifles at
Sawmill and be the only crew to camp at Thunder Ridge. Be rewarded with views of Wheeler Peak and Baldy Mountain
from on top of Mt. Phillips! Mountain men, tomahawks, and booming .50 caliber black powder rifles await you at Clear
Creek. Learn to homestead at Crooked Creek and work with the Conservation Department near Buck Creek. From there,
archery awaits at Apache Springs and enjoy fly fishing at Fish Camp. Hike through Webster Pass and over Lookout Peak,
but be quiet as you’re approaching Lookout Meadow to increase your chances of seeing an elk herd that frequent the
surrounding peaks. Watch the sunrise from the top of the meadow and you'll see why it's called Lookout Meadow! Cap off
your trek with geocaching and a Dutch oven dessert at Zastrow, before touring Kit Carson's home at Rayado.'
