2022 description: 'This itinerary covers some ground, getting you onto four different properties and to the top of Baldy Mountain before it is all
said and done! Begin your journey at the historic Chase Ranch, where you will get a tour of the Main House before heading to
Little Twin Camp to continue your Ranger training. Climb at Chase Cow the next morning, then enjoy the scenic hike as you
follow the ridgeline and drop down to Indian Writings to learn about the Ancestral Puebloans, take a petroglyph tour and even
do some atlatl throwing. The next leg of your journey takes you up and over Hart Peak, and down into Ponil. Enjoy some root
beer before heading up North to Horse Canyon Camp. Before crossing into the vast beauty of the Valle Vidal Unit of the
Carson National Forest, work with our trained facilitators at Dan Beard and their challenge course activities. Your first night in
the Valle will be at Beatty Lakes, be sure to check out the stars! Get ready, as your next day takes you to Whiteman Vega
where you will ride mountain bikes on some of the best mountain biking trails in the area. Iris Park is another beautiful and
quiet camp you will enjoy after your conservation project is completed at Ring Place. Next up is a visit to Rich Cabins and the
Rich family homestead. Help with some chores and be rewarded with a family gathering with music and family stories that will
keep you entertained through the evening. You are in for a treat the next day as you enter the Barker Wildlife Area and up and
over Wilson Mesa. Get your cameras out, you will love it! Your night at Pueblano Ruins gets you close enough to Pueblano to
become honorary loggers of the Continental Tie & Lumber Co. Work on your logging skills and enjoy their company meeting
campfire! Pass through Baldy Town and soak in the mining history of the area before camping at your Baldy summit staging
camp at Black Horse Mine. Get ready, as your next day brings you to your ascent of Badly Mountain! After your summit,
break camp and make your way down to Miranda for a Mountain Man Rendezvous, muzzle loading rifles, and some
tomahawks! Enjoy your last night on the trail and reflect on the many challenges and great experiences you have enjoyed on
your trek. Your last hike of the trek takes you to the Maxwell Trailhead for your bus trip back to base' |
