hiking to Vaca for the night and reload/shoot shotguns at Harlan on the following morning at a picturesque shooting range.
Enjoy learning and working on a trailbuilding project with Philmont's Conservation Department on your hike to Lost Gap. Your
crew will then have the opportunity to hike to Window Rock before hiking up beautiful Grouse and Sawmill Canyons on the
way to Upper Sawmill. From there, enjoy incredible views of Touch Me Not and Baldy Mountain while hiking to Thunder Ridge

Waite Phillips Hunting Lodge. Be sure to stop and check out the Demonstration Forest before branding and roping at Clarks
Fork. Fill up your water bottles and hike to Ponderosa Park for the night and be sure to rest up as your final challenge awaits…
