| 2022 description: 'This adventure packed itinerary provides a variety of opportunities for mileage, adventure, and traversing breathtaking vistas.
Enjoy a variety of side hikes, participate in unique programs and try your skills with Leave No Trace camping in the Valle Vidal
Unit of the Carson National Forest. The trip will begin with a bus drop off at Six-Mile Trailhead and a hike to the first confirmed
T-Rex track in the world, and a quick hike to House Canyon Camp where your Ranger will continue your training. Day 2 will
take you up and over the ridge to Philmont's newest rock-climbing camp at Chase Cow Camp. Enjoy the views as you make
your way out of Chase Canyon and hike the ridgeline above the North Ponil before dropping down into Indian Writings for a
Petroglyph tour. Enjoy the evening at secluded Cottonwood Canyon Camp before getting up the next morning ready to join
the railroaders of the Cimarron & Northwestern in building a new line up the canyon and see what life was like at a railroad
camp. Work quickly, as you still have to climb up and over to Dan Beard, where the Challenge Course and initiative games will
help to build teamwork that your crew will utilize the rest of your trek. Leave Philmont Property and enter the beautiful Valle
Vidal and head through Seally Canyon on your way to Ring Place camp to learn about weather and astronomy, surrounded by
a blanket of stars in their open meadows. Head on over to Iris Park for more Leave No Trace camping, then drop in on the
Rich Family and help them with their animals and see their historic cabin. Head over Wilson Mesa and check in on the loggers
of the Continental Tie and Lumber Co. and help them make a tie for Metcalf Station. Your layover waits you at Ewells Park,
which will give you plenty of time to summit Philmont's highest peak, Baldy Mountain, and visit the historic mining areas of
Baldy Town and French Henry. Your next adventure is at the Fur Trapper Rendezvous at Miranda where you can compete
with your crew at tomahawk throwing and muzzle loading rifle shooting. Stay the night at one of Philmont’s newest trail camps
at Touch-Me-Not Creek. Alas, your journey is coming to an end as you make your way to the Maxwell Trailhead and load your
bus for the ride back to base camp' |
