2023 description: 'This itinerary has a good mix of mileage and program, as well as the opportunity to hike through the area burned during the
2018 Ute Park fire and summit both the Tooth of Time and Baldy Mountain! Start your trek by hiking out of Base Camp to the
new Heck Meadow trail camp where your Ranger will provide training on all things Philmont. Head over to Clarks Fork to enjoy
the scenery from the back of a horse, enjoy their Chuckwagon Dinner and campfire program to end the day. Be sure to get an
early start the next day to side Shaefers Peak and the iconic Tooth of Time. Hike into the central country to stay at Lamberts
Mine and take in The Stomp music show at Cyphers Mine. Sawmill is your next stop where you’ll reload and shoot 30.06
rounds. Get up early the next day to make your way across the Ute Park fire burn scar to Cimarroncita for hunter safety, 3-D
archery, and the new laser shooting range. Your next stop is Santa Claus for shotgun reloading and shooting. The next day is
long and uphill but gets you through Head of Dean for a Challenge Course, then stages you at Ewells Park for an early
morning ascent of Philmont’s pinnacle peak, Baldy Mountain! After spending a little time pondering the world below and
relishing on your accomplishment, dig down deep into the valley to reach French Henry mining and gold panning camp. Spend
your last night on the trail at Elkhorn, enjoying the views while reflecting on your crew’s accomplishments before heading to
Ponil for a quick celebratory sarsaparilla at the cantina before meeting your bus at the nearby trailhead and rolling home to
Base Camp!' |
