| 2024 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
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 hike 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 3-D archery, and the
new laser shooting range. Rest up at Elkhorn as the next day 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. Enjoy some time at the Fur Trapper Rendezvous at Miranda before spending your last night on the
trail at Maxwell. Reflect on your crew’s accomplishments before making the short hike to the nearby trailhead where you will
meet your bus and roll home to Base Camp!' |
