| 2024 description: 'This itinerary gives crews the opportunity to complete all requirements for their BSA 50-Miler award! Starting at 9-Mile
Trailhead, crews will begin their trek at Trail Canyon camp and spend the evening taking in the beautiful sunset with their
Ranger. The next morning you will begin hiking through the beautiful canyonlands of the north country while taking in views
only available from the Dean skyline. Spend the night at Dean Skyline camp before descending into the South Ponil Canyon.
On your way to Pueblano for the evening, stop and take part in your first three hours of conservation program at the Elkhorn
project site. Learn to climb spar poles and enjoy the company meeting of The Continental Tire & Lumber Co. at Pueblano. The
next day, pass through Baldy Town on your way to Copper Park. While at Baldy Town, you will stop at the commissary for
resupply and visit with the geologist for your 1-hour Geology Education session. Get a good night's sleep and wake up early to
summit Baldy! Be sure to enjoy the trip to the summit, and stay as a crew as you traverse the northern ridge before dropping
down into the Greenwood Low Impact Area. The next day you're headed into the Valle Vidal with Ring Place as your
destination where you will ride mountain bikes and participate in the Astronomy program. Perform your next three hours of
conservation before hiking on to Beatty Lakes. Enjoy the short hike to Rich Cabins the next day and relax as your crew
interacts with the animals and homesteaders of the Rich Family. Have fun as they welcome you into their home for their family
meeting in the evening, and enjoy the crickets chirping as the sun sets. The next day, hike down the Middle Ponil Canyon
before climbing up to Sioux Camp for your last three hours of conservation work continuing the new hiking trail to the top of
Wilson Mesa. Spend the afternoon in the Ponil Cantina, enjoying the coldest root beer in the County! Chow down at the
chuckwagon dinner and take in the Cantina Show that evening. The next morning, try your hand at Cowboy Action Shooting
before hiking over Heart Peak on your way to McBride Canyon Camp where your crew can reminisce and celebrate your
accomplishments. Hike your last miles in the backcountry as you head down to the Six Mile Gate Trailhead and onto a bus for
Base Camp!' |
