2024 description: 'This itinerary gets you through the North Country and to the top of Philmont! Begin your trek at the Ponil Trailhead, and swig
down a cold root beer before heading up to Flume Canyon for the night. You’ll head up to Elkhorn for your Conservation
Project before hiking to Head of Dean. Here the trained facilitators will work with your crew in their challenge course and help
everyone grow and learn from the experience and help build a stronger team. Make your way over to Ewells Park for your
layover and prepare yourself for the climb to the top of Baldy Mountain. After your summit, be sure to head back to Baldy
Town to soak in some of the history, check out some of the artifacts, and learn about the gold assaying process. Your last full
day on the trail will bring you to Miranda. It’s a short hike, but that means you will have plenty of time to enjoy the rendezvous,
throw tomahawks, and, of course, shoot their booming 50 cal. muzzle loading rifles. It will be a blast! On your last morning on
the trail, make your way down to the Maxwell Trailhead to meet your bus for the journey back to base camp.' |
