gorgeous ponderosa pine stands, and rugged mountains to the north of Philmont. Start your trek by hiking past the first
confirmed T-Rex track before camping at House Canyon for Ranger Training. At Metcalf Station you will learn how to build a
railroad, blacksmith, and be entertained by their evening campfire. The next day you will hike through Dan Beard to build your
crew’s team skills participating in the challenge events and continue to the Valle Vidal in the Carson National Forest to Beatty
Lakes for the night where the views of Little Costilla and Baldy Mountain are amazing! Bushwack through the ponderosa pines
and enormous meadows of the Valle to the historic homestead of the Rich Family. Help them tend to their garden and their
animals. That night at Rich Cabins join the Rich Family Gathering to hear the stories and songs of their family homestead. Hike
over Wilson Mesa to spend your last night on the trail at Elkhorn, enjoying the views while reflecting on your crew’s
accomplishments before heading to Ponil for a quick celebratory sarsaparilla at the cantina before meeting you bus at the
nearby trailhead to head back to Base Camp.' |
