Compare 2022 Trek 12-26 to 2021 Trek 12-26


2022 description: 'This itinerary highlights much of the South, including high peaks and frequent opportunities for wildlife viewing. Take the short bus ride to the Webster Trailhead and hike to Arrowhead trail camp in the shadow of the iconic Tooth of Time. Your Ranger will train you on skills you will need for the rest of your adventure before taking you through Clarks Fork and up to Cimarroncito, where you can try out some climbing on natural rock formations. Cyphers Mine is up next, where you can tour the Contention Mine, practice blacksmithing, gold panning and enjoy the famous Stomp. Begin your tour of Philmont's peaks with a hike to Comanche Peak. Get your rest, enjoy the sunrise, and then tackle the highest peak in Philmont's South Country, Mount Phillips. On the way down, visit the fur trappers at Clear Creek for a tomahawk throwing competition before following the Rayado River to visit the Crooked Creek homestead. Your next day will take you through Apache Springs for 3D archery and a tipi tour before continuing to Lost Cabin trail camp. Hit the trail early to allow plenty of time to tour Rayado Lodge at Fish Camp and try to catch a trout in the Rayado and Agua Fria Rivers. After traversing the ridge trail high above the Rayado, a Search and Rescue mission awaits your crew at Carson Meadows. Tend to the chickens and goats at Abreu, and reward yourselves with a cold root beer at the cantina before heading to Bear Caves trail camp. Visit with the loggers of the Continental Tie & Lumber Co. and try out their crosscut saws and broad-axes. Look for the Tooth of Time as you make your way to Miners Park, where you can check out their amazing climbing gym, under the guidance of Philmont's trained staff. Tooth Ridge is your next destination for the breathtaking view from atop the Tooth of Time. Take a few minutes to look back over how far your crew has come in the past 10 days before heading down the ridgeline to Base Camp on your last day to end this amazing adventure.'
