2024 description: 'This 7-day trek offers a variety of exciting program opportunities, on and off of Philmont property. Begin with a bus drop off at
the Six Mile Gate Trailhead and a short hike to McBride Canyon trail camp. Learn important camping skills from your Ranger
before waking up and climbing to the top of Hart Peak on your way to Ponil. The original headquarters of Philturn Rocky
Mountain Scout Camp, it now serves as one of Philmont's three western lore camps. Try your hand at roping, branding, or
Cowboy Action Shooting and don't miss the Chuckwagon Dinner or Cantina Show, either! Working your way up the Middle
Ponil River, and off of Philmont property, you will come to the historic Rich Family cabin and homestead. Cow milking, cabin
tours, and an entertaining family gathering will let you experience what life was like on an 1880s homestead. Make your way
over scenic Wilson Mesa to visit the loggers of the Continental Tie & Lumber Co. stationed at Pueblano. Climb Spar Poles,
work on a railroad tie, then be ready for their exciting Company Meeting campfire program that night! It will be a show you are
not likely to forget. Test your crews skills on some Challenge Events at Head of Dean the next day. Enjoy your last night on
the trail near the infamous Black Jack Ketchum's hideout! Your last morning on the trail has your crew hiking to the Ute Park
Trailhead, but be sure to stop for a visit at Cimarroncita to try out the 3D Archery or Laser Shooting Range before loading up
on your bus for your trip back to base camp.'
