From there, enjoy hiking to The Notch where incredible views of Rayado Canyon and the plains to the east will be a pleasant reward. Your crew will enjoy more views of Crater and Lookout Peaks as you venture towards Agua Fria Camp for the night. On the way, tour Mr. Phillips fishing lodge and enjoy fishing the same waters he loved so dearly. From Agua Fria, begin your journey north to Phillips Junction and Beaubien for branding, chuckwagon dinner, and a cowboy campfire. Be sure to wake up early to check out the wreckage of a B-24 bomber that crashed on top of Trail Peak in 1942 on your way to visit the Continental Tie & Lumber Company at Crater Lake. There, you will climb spar poles, cut railroad ties, and take part in the loggers' Company Meeting at a picturesque campfire bowl overlooking the Tooth of Time. Enjoy working with the Conservation Department on a new trail construction project before finishing your trek by hiking over Lovers Leap! Next stop… Base Camp!'
