| 2024 description: 'This strenuous north country itinerary will take your crew through some of the most challenging terrain on Philmont while
getting great program opportunities along the way. You will start off your trek at the Chase Trailhead where you can see what
living on a ranch in the 1800’s was like at the Chase Ranch House. After your first night at Hells Fire Canyon, you will rock
climb and try some bouldering on some unique rock formations at Chase Cow. Enjoy the scenic hike across the rim of the
North Ponil Canyon and stay at Coyote Howl. Drop into the canyon the next morning to learn about the Ancestral Puebloans
that lived in the area, and see the petroglyphs scattered through the camp. You'll then make your way up the canyon to visit
the Railroaders of the Cimarron & Northwestern Railway at Metcalf Station. Give them a hand with some rail construction
before getting to Rabbit Ear for the night. The next morning you can try your hand at challenge course events at Dan Beard
before crossing over into the Valle! Be ready to be engulfed by the scenic meadows of the Valle as you make your way to
Ring Place. Ride some mountain bikes and enjoy the wide-open sky and starry night during the Astronomy Program. You'll
continue the next night in practicing your low impact camping skills at Greenwood Canyon. Get your rest, as your crew will
make the ascent towards the historic Baldy Mining District the following morning. Hang your bear bags and side hike to the
summit of Philmont's highest peak, Baldy Mountain before you head down to Azurite to set up camp for the night. After a night
of rest, hike through Baldy Town and soak in the mining history of this former gold mining town, pick up food and head to the
Rendezvous at Miranda and throw some tomahawks and shoot muzzle loading rifles while you are there! Your burro pick up is
the next morning before you make your way to see the loggers at Pueblano. The Continental Tie and Lumber Company will
teach you spar pole climbing, tie making, and invites you to the company meeting campfire. The next day you will hike to Ponil
and drop off your burro and grab an ice-cold root beer at the Cantina. Enjoy a night of a hearty chuckwagon dinner and the
always exciting Cantina Show. Your last morning on the trail offers you the chance to ride horses before you hike to Ponil
Trailhead to be picked up by the bus. Next stop… Base Camp' |
