Central Country. You will start your trek with a hike out of Base Camp to Magpie, one of Philmont's newest trail camps. Break
camp early in the morning so the crew can try some Challenge Course activities at Urraca, then up and over the mesa for your
stop at Abreu for a cool root beer and Mexican Dinner that night. Hike west to The Notch and enjoy the overlook of Rayado
and Bonito Canyons. Stellar views of Rayado, Crater, and Lookout Peaks will then be seen from the south side of the canyon
as you continue to Fish Camp. Enjoy fishing the same banks of the Rayado and Agua Fria Creeks as Waite Phillips. From
there, your crew will enjoy time in some of the most pristine country the Southwest has to offer at Apache Springs. You will
learn about the Jicarilla Apache and test your archery skills on our sporting arrows range. Enjoy the sweat lodge before hiking
to Garcia Cow Camp, one of Philmont’s newest camps. Your hike to and stay at Wild Horse is guaranteed to be memorable,
as it is one of our most beautiful trail camps. Next, the mountain men of the Rocky Mountain Fur Co. await you at Clear Creek
before the challenging hike up Mt. Phillips and Comanche Peak. The hike will be tough but seeing the sunrise from Comanche
Peak Camp will be an unparalleled reward. Next, head on to Sawmill and Shoot .30-06 rifles using cartridges you reload
yourself. Enjoy a stop at Cyphers Mine to pan for gold, and blacksmith or tour the Contention Mine before staying the night in a
muckshack. Make your to Cimarroncito for resupply, then to Hunting Lodge for a quick stop along the way to Clark’s Fork. Fill
up on the chuckwagon dinner and have fun at the campfire, but get some rest before ascending the Tooth of Time and hiking
along Tooth Ridge into Base Camp on your last day on the trail!' |
