| 2017 description: 'This is the only trek that will enable your crew to bag Philmont's triple crown… Baldy Mountain, Mt. Phillips, and The Tooth of Time! You will also have the opportunity to let pack burros carry a portion of your gear! Start your trek by enjoying the view of Little Costilla from Sioux Camp. Pick up burros at Ponil and visit the Continental Tie and Lumber Company at Pueblano where you will climb spar poles and be treated to the loggers' Company Meeting Campfire. Drop your burros off and throw tomahawks at Miranda before hiking to Ute Meadows. A two day stay there will give you time to climb rugged Baldy, explore Lucien Maxwell’s Aztec Mine, and visit historic Baldy Town. Next, overcome difficult obstacles on the challenge course at Head of Dean and hike to Santa Claus. Head south towards Visto Grande, and enjoy the view of Baldy Mountain. The cool hike up Grouse and Sawmill Canyons will let you focus on the wildflowers and aspens instead of the heat! At Sawmill, our world class .30-06 reloading room and shooting range are guaranteed to be a highlight of your trek. Continue on and work on a trail project with the Conservation Department near Whistle Punk Camp on the way to Comanche Peak Camp. Wake up early and watch the sunrise just east of Comanche Peak Camp, then side hike Comanche Peak and Mt. Phillips. Return to camp, grab your packs, and hike over Big Red and Black Mountain. Shoot .58 caliber muzzle loading rifles and learn to blacksmith at Black Mountain Camp where post Civil War settlers will greet you. Enjoy the hike down North Fork Urraca Creek and be sure to fill up all of your water bottles. Hike over Shaefers Peak and the Tooth of Time before your triumphant return to Base Camp!' |
