2024 description: 'This exciting South Country itinerary sees it all and will push your crew to the limits. Your adventure begins at the Zastrow
Trailhead where you'll hike to Old Abreu as your Ranger passes on the skills you will need for the rest of the trek! On your way,
be sure to visit the New Mexican homesteading program at Abreu and enjoy a nice cool glass of root beer in the Cantina. Your
next challenge will be the hike up to Lower Bonito camp, but the scenery once you get there more than makes up for it. You’ll
spend the following day at Beaubien where you can go enjoy the western lore program, eat a hearty chuckwagon dinner, and
listen to the cowboys and cowgirls recite cowboy poetry, sing western music, and tell tales of life on the cattle trail at the
campfire that night. Your next day’s hike takes you through Crooked Creek to visit the homesteading family living there. Take
a tour of their rustic cabin and try your hand at some of their daily tasks to get a sense of how they live. You will camp for the
night at Wild Horse Camp so you can rest up for your mountain summit the next day. Wake up early and make your way to
Clear Creek so you can set up camp, hang bear bags, and side hike to the top of Philmont's second highest peak, Mount
Phillips. Enjoy this unique opportunity, it is rare for 7 Day treks to make it this deep in the backcountry! Once back at Clear
Creek, you can experience life as a Fur Trapper working for the Rocky Mountain Fur Co. and shoot muzzle loading rifles, throw
tomahawks, and get a tour of the Trapper’s Cabin. Your last day’s hike will be very special! The hike down the Tolby Road
trail is gorgeous and will allow you to enjoy magnificent panoramic views of Wheeler Peak, the tallest peak in New Mexico.
Keep heading down the scenic path to the trailhead, where you will be picked up by your bus. Next stop… Base Camp!'
